So let's review. Mixtape, a walking simulator where you take part in an explicit, interactive kissing seen between underage children is considered a 10/0 masterpiece by journalists. Pragmata, a sci-fi action game built around a wholesome father/daughter bonding story that legitimately touched people's hearts is hounded by journalists and Twitter freaks as, and I quote, "Problematic and pedophilic."

Before the IBM standardization, it get’s murky.
There’s a German teletype machine with the backslash symbol from 1937…but no one really knows what it was used for.
You might think it was used in Mathematics, but it’s technically a different symbol.
(you’re supposed to use “set minus” for math, but no one does)
Next time you hit backslash, just think, you’re using the youngest punctuation character!
Backslash marks were popularized by the IBM standards committee in the 1960s, which got rolled into ASCII.
Programmers took a liking to the symbol; quickly adopting it as the standard escape character.
*Forward* slash existed in the 18th century by comparison.
Take a look at your keyboard.
See the backslash key?
It’s the *only* punctuation character (not a glyph!) created in the computer age.
Just about every typographic symbol on your keyboard is centuries old.
