[false claims that] journalists gave the recent PS5 game Stellar Blade (pictured below) bad reviews because its female characters are too hot

That seems an inadequate way of summing up the Stellar Blade controversy which on the whole was considerably more ridiculous than that.

The Gamergaters really wanted the game to get bad reviews so they could use it to fuel their self-victimhood.
