Skullgirls makes improvements to hate group references, racial sensitivity and sexualization, predictably gets review-bombed on Steam

Hundreds of negative reviews on Steam, of course. While there are numerous playful references to pulpy themes that we feel respectfully allude to certain stereotypes (e.g. references to racial violence in Big Bands Story Mode), Price said.
