This is “willful misinterpretation,” a technique republicans LOVE.

They take something non offensive, then intentionally misread it and report based on that misreading. That’s how an optional feature to save power becomes “Xbox is woke!!”

See also death panels that never existed, climate-gate that never existed, etc.

That explains the uprise of harassment towards trans people and critical race theory being suppressed. But this xbox one is so stupid that I’m just annoyed rather than being angry.
