I've not seen any evidence it was a mistranslation, and they've made multiple similar comments. And there's a few in-game moments that also reflect that type of casual misogyny. I've also seen it commented on by several outlets and players in the genre, so I have no idea what you mean by "hit piece" since I'm not referring to a single article.

Second, why on earth wouldn't you open with this as your argument instead of "apparently the sexist comment by the devs was right"?? Lol it seems like you support the Gamergate level sexism smh

Critical support for sexist game devs is praxis, apparently /s
