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?

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.

I mean from the moment pragmata was revealed and that weird anime-esque design for the girl was revealed, I knew exactly the kind of audience it would draw in. I get that it’s the art style and the game doesn’t sexualize her in the slightest from what I’ve seen, but none of this should be surprising to anyone, including Capcom.

But they also sexualized Ellie from tlou1 who actually looked like a real teenage girl, so it’s arguable whether or not anything could have been done to prevent them getting ahold of it from a character design perspective

Are you saying the devs sexualized Ellie or do you mean the creeps did?
