Gamers: “We demand big titty goth girls in every video game and we want boob physics where they jiggle when you jump and we want you to shoot real babies out of your vagina at your enemies, just like a real girl would, or we can’t suspend our disbelief long enough to enjoy the game! ETHICS IN GAMER JOURNALISM!”
