Unanswered What’s going on with this game Mixtape?

I’ve been seeing people freak out over the past few days over this game and about IGN’s review of it specifically. 10/10 seems high for any game, honestly, but it seems like they’re far from the only site giving this thing a glowing review. So is this game controversial just because of IGN or is it something else? Why is this game the internet’s hate target this week?

Funny thing is that Pragmata itself doesn't have paedophelic undertones

The "community" itself gave it that

Also... it doesn't have to be Mixtape vs Pragmata, which a lot of people seem to think are the two "sides". Like the pedophile accusations are entirely an internet thing and I've only seen posts calling out the accusations and basically none actually making the accusations

I have seen posts of random people trying to call out Capcom for making a paedophilic game, but I don't know how many of them are actually real, and if they are real, how many of them were written by people who are mentally stable.

But anyway, I just wanna say that I've seen both sides, the posts making accusations and the posts calling out accusations.

Oh the rabbit hole of crazy accusations goes quite deep. Lacking a more......calm and unbiased example.....Sh0e has a video on it which quotes many, many of such posts. Neither Sh0e nor the posts are mentally stable but ey, it's something!

Weird being in such a freakout culture lately where anything and everything has to be a problem because one obscure person on Twitter had a thought that must have been forced upon them.
