Metacritic vows "stricter moderation" after "abusive and disrespectful reviews" for Horizon video game's lesbian kiss

The game holds (at the time of writing) an 82/100 "generally favorable" Metascore based on 61 critics and a 4.2/10 "generally unfavorable" User Score based on 2,363 ratings.

This refers to when woke critics like something, but users don't (and vice versa), with woke critics being on the wrong side of the ratio, obviously.

"Towards the end of Burning Shores, there is the choice to make [relationship between protagonist Aloy and new character Seyka] a more romantic one, and players can select a dialogue option that will lead to Aloy and Seyka sharing a kiss," Eurogamer reports. "And it is this, for some reason, that several 'critics' over on Metacritic have taken umbrage with."

"For some reason."
