They review-bombed BG3? For shame. Why?
Because they couldn't review-bomb Astrobot since Astrobot isn't on Steam.
THAT actually probably was a translation error (unlike "oh, he is not a disgusting misogynistic piece of shit. You are just racist and so is google translate").
Swen's speech was (paraphrasing) about how an oracle told him that the future GOTYs will all be games made because they are games the studios wanted to make and were allowed to make without fear of layoffs (which is why it was ironic that a studio that came out of Sony gutting Team Japan won...).
But a lot of chuds and CCP mouthpieces keyed in on the "An oracle told me" narrative framing as an indication that it was all rigged. In large part because they are fucking morons who don't realize they were voting on a different category when they rushed that vote harder than a gamefaqs poll with Aeris in it.
And Swen is head (?) of Larian who made Baldurs Gate 3.
Also: BG3 is, in scientific terms, gay as all fuck. So the chuds who were already focusing on BMWukong because "it understand that women should be sexy" and whatever other "anti-DEI" bullshit they are radicalizing people with, saw an opportunity to pick a fight now that the mass support of BG3 is somewhat waning.
