No, because they claim men are idealized, not sexualized like women, which doesn't make sense, since if unrealistic beauty standards can be harmful to women, unrealistic strength standards should be harmful to men.

Men see The Mountain deadlift 501 Kg (1104 Lbs) and get inspired.

Women see other women existing and get pissed off.

... hold up. How was Abby's dad a surgeon? He doesn't look that old. If he was in his, let's say, mid-twenties and with a kid on the way when everything went to shit... how did--

... fuck me, they weren't even real doctors that were gonna pop the shroom piñata, were they? :story:

Edit: Or they could be military trained deserters. But my idea sounds more up their alley.

They made it pretty clear in the first game they have no fucking idea what they are doing when it comes to studying the immunity. They already went through some other "Ellies" and failed miserably. Maybe someone should be vivisecting immune people to find a cure for the good of humanity but it sure as fuck isn't the Fireflies. Joel made 100% right call given its the fucking apocalypse and he's getting divots in his par 1 for his trouble.

"What if we made the male characters look like that?! HUH?! SKIMPY ARMOR WITH ALL THAT SKIN SHOWING?! WOULD YOU LIKE THAT?"
"Hmmm"
And then traps were born.

It stems from the same source it always has:

At its core, these people are sexually threatened by characters that aren't even real because they have nothing to offer over them.

I think the difference is that muscles and such can be gained through intensive training whereas looks (more specifically breast sise) cannot. So the people complaining about looks probably feel like it is something they can't change and thus get angry about beauty standards. Though saying that the people who complain about fictional characters act just as pathetic as femcels getting jealous over "stacy's" looks or incels getting jealous over how "handsome" chad looks.

It would have made more sense for Abby to continue his parents work instead of trying to kill ellie. Logic is not Cuckmann strong suit.

I mean let's say we create an alternative story where Abby does kill Joel, but then later in the game Abby reveals to Ellie that Joel lied to her and killed Abby's dad, that would be shocking for Ellie to hear.

Maybe they have to put aside their differences because there's actually been progress with a vaccine. Optimistic, I know

You know what would have been a more realistic and acceptable twist?
The fireflies being the antagonists, trying to take out Joel as revenge and capture Ellie again.
They attack Ellie and her camp, during the assault a horde of mushroom zombies overrun the entire camp, Joel sacrifices himself to save Ellie and only a handful of people escape.
Ellie is one of them, along with the surgeons son. Due to the necessity of survival against the zombies, they both cooperate but still hate eachother. Eventually, the son opens up, Ellie finally is able to see the whole picture and they grow a bond.

biggest twist at the end would be either that Ellie is infectious through kisses and sex or that she slowly turns into a mushroom zombie and you, playing as the surgeons son, has to mercy kill her. (Marlene hinted at the chance of Ellie turning eventually in the previous game)

Holy shit MUCH better. At least then Joel goes out dying for something he cares about, thereby thematically completing his arc. I like the 'enemies turned allies' plot as well. Definitely would make things more interesting as well as more layers of gray to the whole thing.

There were so many ways this turkey could have been tweaked into something much better. Just a few minor changes would have fixed the thing pretty easy. This whole mess feels like a first draft.

That justifies an extra $60? The backpack is probably made of shit material and the vinyl record only appeals to hipsters.

For that rate, at least give me a replica golf club or something.

Tbf if you're dumb enough to spend that much money on shit that's just gonna collect dust in some corner of the room, you kinda deserve to get ripped off.

Aye aye on the golf club idea, I myself would love some Last of Us II brand HRT pills.

Are Neil Druckmann and andrew dobson the same person? theyre obsession with lesbians has lead me to believe that this was the case. Maybe the Dobson who shows up at conventions is some kind of payed actor.

They just share the same strand of self-hating misandry and autogynephilia. Jeph Jacques has it as well.
