Oh that is certainly the thing. Just like Cyberpunk, they'll flip on in it in a second if there's anything they perceive as a problem.
Though for better or worse I think it's more likely that it's just a kinda mediocre licensed game? Feel like it won't live up their hype at all, and will likely fade from discussion sooner rather than later despite how big it theoretically is, but still be able to coast by on that. Though maybe it'll have framerate issues or like... weird handling of how students appear/disappear or something, that kind of weird specific thing that people get worked up over, dunno. Guess we'll see.
I think there are people who are big fans but not actively in the fandom, so to speak, who might not be hearing much about her. That being said, there are big mainstream sites openly talking about her negatively at this point, so I'd still think a lot more people have heard about it than you might expect.
Good on you on telling them and them for, if nothing else, already being conflicted about it, I guess.
