The Last of Us Franchise - Because it's apparently a franchise now. This thread has been double-DMCA’d by Sony Interactive Entertainment.

And Wolfenstein New Colossus. But just imagine how stunning and brave it would have been for Joel and Ellie to have made it all the way to Washington, only to find the city walled off and the guards refuse them entry, because they don't want their type coming over.

TNC's Muh Trump moment was especially funny as it smugly calls him stupid and egotistical for suggesting such a thing...only for the franchise to repeatedly demonstrate that massive walls of steel and concrete is how the Nazis kept the populations divided and under control.

Similarly, I enjoyed how it kept painting all Nazis as the same comically villainous archetype, but TNC also included a ton of fluff about how peoples' history and culture had been eroded to the point where events such as the Allies fighting back during World War Two is considered an in universe myth. Are the Nazi footsoldiers as much victims of abuse and oppression, or are they all gleeful psychopaths? Fuck that lemme flip the horns and bang bang grrrl power.

Anyone who says the hate this game got "was undeserved" is a fucking moron who doesn't deserve to be taken seriously. Even looking past how Joel was killed in the first two hours as a result of him acting completely out of character and the second half of the game forces you to sympathize with a vile piece of shit, everything about it is abhorrent. From the way it portrays Ellie and Tommy as the villains while trying to portray the pregnant woman throat slitter as a victim, to the groutites violence and grimdark bleakness, to the broken story structure, to the painfully linear game design, to the way it treated Ellie and Joel like shit, to the hundreds of ways Neil Druckmann actively lied to people and gave the middle finger to anyone who was rightfully upset with the mountain of cow manure he chose to put out while pointing out the dozens of things wrong with it.

Druckmann is running his mouth yet again. And this is after he tried (and failed miserably) to make Abby a likeable character, by using cheap emotional tactics, to not only make her "look good", but to make her counterparts (Joel and Ellie) look like the big bad and evil.

"You aren't owed likable characters"

This is true. But by the same token, content creators are not owed attention and praise.

I mean yeah, characters don't need to be likeable and writing a serial rapist doesn't mean you condone serial rape but I don't know who was arguing against that.

The only people who cry about this are people who wrote characters they wanted people to love but got the opposite reaction instead. It's like that "I was just pretending to be retarded" meme, "haha you didn't like my character because I intended for them to be unlikeable!" Yeah sure Neil, go back to jerking off over how smart you are.
