Is it only bad when the gays do it?
Nope, its bad when its done every time unnecessarily. I'm only saying here because Ellie has to be a lesbian. The same goes for Abby's boyfriend (if you consider Abby a female and not a genderless monster), do not give a fuck. Should not be any focus in the game.
Idpol is great. It's a way to arm the peasants with politically potent and explosive stuff. It isn't there to be interesting or unique or appealing to your bourgoise appetite, it's there to level the playing field. I don't mean between the haves and the havesnots, but between the cans and the cannots.
It's a way for the cannots to compete with the cans. You gotta admire the destructive potential.
Well, Idpol has been around forever, its just that in the past both sides were uneducated. Now its just the idpol people that have no education.
Cause it's a fucking hard genre to write for as it involves having an ability to write relatable, emotional, and horrifying tales that strip away race, gender, and sexual orientation as the grim reapers cares not for any of this and will murderhobo you regardless. Haunting tales of faceless undead, weapon wielding psychos, and insane doom cults that's only goal is to kill you and take your shit. Try telling a zombie to respect your pronouns or a mad max biker gang that they should stop harassing you because you are a different skin color. Imagine writing that and having someone read that and going "YAASSS SLAY QUEEN!!!11!", never gonna happen outside of some tumblr post or on twitter.
None of those concept matters as that's all they have to write about: race, sexual identity, and politics. No one buys that material, the market can't identify with it, and normal people won't spend money on material people can't relate to at least on some level.
As many, many, many others have said SJW's cannot "Human" very well, they lack the ability to empathize with people, and their emotional validation is You believing They are Right which makes them "Happy" i.e. less miserable than they were 5 min prior.
All ND had to do was make a better game than the original that combined Resident Evil with Walking dead and leave out pushing IdPol into everyone's faces and they'd be rolling in dead president's. Apparently money is not 'important' to druckman and crew as it is to Sony...
Grimdark is a genre that basically is all about horror, death and weakness in the face of overwhelming terror. There's a great 40k book called '15 hours', which is the lifespan of an average Imperial Guardsman. You don't really have time to worry about fucking somebody as that's your average lifespan.
In Grimdark, the protagonists are always at a disadvantage. They're typically weaker, outnumbered and struggling to survive. Its nearly impossible to write Grimdark with a Mary Sue protagonist well. Because that's the whole point of the genre, when done well. Not to mention not caring about your gender or sexuality.
Especially in Apocalypse stories. There's no luxury for gender, sexuality or any of that bullshit. That's first world problems. The world being over, its all to the wolves. Imagine human appetites, unrestrained by laws or morality. Yeah, its not gonna go so well if you're shouting privilege and oppression.

What the fuck is wrong with you Druckmann
AHAHAHAHA HOLY SHIT. Sadist fucking confirmed. TLOU 2 is 100% a fetish game made personally for Neil Druckman. How in the everliving fuck could you say this with a straight face?
You have this massive pitbull coming after you, tearing chunks out of your leg and trying to go for your throat and you stab it to death. Out of the woods comes an old man crying, "Why did you kill my dog?"
Then I shoot the old man in the face with a shotgun because fuck your dog. If you don't think players are going to laugh when some asshole is crying over a dog that just tried to tear their throat out, you haven't played videogames. Because I will happily shoot that motherfucker all day, 24/7. It may be realistic, but its also realistic I blast that cocksucker in the face for siccing a dog on me. Don't want your dog to die? Don't try and have it tear out my throat.
Ssshhhh, you gotta be quiet, you guys.
