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

"Honestly, Ellie being gay was one of the best moves any game company has made whatsoever IMHO. She wasn't a side character, she was a character that many individuals had made a deep and lasting parasocial relationship with. The only problem I see is the fact that The Last of Us suffers from the same problem that Joss Whedon's work suffers from. It's a deep and powerful feminist statement...in a horror game. Which means that horrible shit will happen to our heroine."

"Ellie's orientation, in terms of story structure and narrative, is more of an incidental thing (the good kind of incidental, where she just happens to be gay because some people happen to be gay). But because Ellie is such an important gay character, everything that ever happens to her will be subject to intense as all hell scrutiny. You can't just write a story anymore. You have to keep in mind that your protagonist is one of the most pivotal figures of representation in fiction history."

Holy shit, imagine being deluded enough to think like this. Ellie was straight in the first game, you can see that in a scene where she looks at a magazine with male pinups, which is creepy in itself, having a 14 year old girl do that in your story driven game, but whatever. Gay characters have existed forever, it's only now that screeching freaks have to project themselves onto these characters and act like throwing in unnecessary gay sex scenes into a video game will somehow change society forever.

So not only do Joel and Jesse die, but Tommy dies as well? Fucking Christ, they're really not letting Ellie have any loved ones or support, are they?

Also, what the actual fuck does Neil have against likable straight men???

I am legitimately amazed that baby survived after the mother got her face beaten into the concrete and an arrow through the back.

I missed the first half of the game, but I think Dina was only like 2-4 weeks pregnant at the time.

Elie autonomous zone.

Man there's a lot of walking around and not doing much isn't there.

I am sort of amazed the mother survived that beating in a post apocalyptic world with no doctors and the only help she could have gotten had the shit beat out of her as well.

At most Ellie is bi.

Straight white men bad goy...

They left a functioning city for this.

What the fuck is with Abby's movements? The other characters move realistically like you'd expect them to. Abby lumbers awkwardly like the T 1000.

That's why they timeskipped like 2 years. Dina was like a month pregnant at most, then we cut to a scene where the kid is not just born, but is a toddler.

Plastic dildo stuck in her rot hole.

 

[Neil]

How the fuck is that baby not mushy goo inside of Dina's stomach? How was that baby born without any deformities?

Abby legit runs around like someone with Imaginary Lat Syndrome.

I can't believe they put the animal herding game from Twilight Princess in this game. 10/10

 

[Neil]

HAHA QUIRKY WRITING, SHE'S MAKING FUNNY PUNS TO THE BABY FUNNY QUIRKY LOVABLE DO YOU CARE ABOUT ELLIE YET? FEEL BAD, GAMER, FEEL BAD.

 

[Gehenna]

CHEAP jump scare

 

[Ruin]

Wait if Ellie hates Abby so much why does she wait two years to go after her? How does she know Abby didn't leave the state or the country?

Why is this writing so bad? Fuck.

 

[Gehenna]

As someone with ACTUAL PTSD, THAT'S NOT HOW PTSD WORKS!

Edit: To explain, while fully awake, congisizant, and aware... she got 'triggered' and went to some sort of dream sequence. This isn't how it works.

To be fair, Abby legit broke at least one of Ellie's arms.

I'm mad they just timeskipped/handwaved away how the hell Ellie and Dina got back home or got any medical attention.

 

[Optimus Prime]

I had to turn the stream off.

Jesus fuck what absolute horseshit.
