You are simply being bigoted, and I Don’t use that word lightly with the woke overusing it, but in this case it very much applies.
You assume every gamer has the same taste as you.
I actually prefer this “aesthetic” over the run of the mill baby doll look.
Yes, I prefer muscular women over twig figures whose arms and legs have zero shape.
In fact I was hoping she would be a playable character since the first trailer where she was revealed years ago. So when I got control of her in Seattle I instantly knew there would be more.
And the leaks meant that by the time I played the game the shock value of killing Joel was completely lost on me. I knew exactly what to expect, so I had over a month to come to terms with it. Besides I thought Joel was a selfish prick for lying to Ellie about what happened. He had no reason to other than to save face. So his death didn’t affect me. To think it was a political message is beyond ridiculous.
Anyone who thinks a hundred million dollar game is made with the sole purpose of sending them a political message have seriously overinflated egos.
I’m a white straight male, and I never felt that the game is attacking me for that. Not for one second.
The gameplay with Abby is some of the best I’ve had this generation, and to think a bunch of whining fanboys would want to simply remove it because “we don’t like it” makes me furious.
Well get over yourself, there are plenty of people who like it, you are not arbiters of what is good or bad. You can dislike it all you want, but you have no right to try and cancel the game, or the creators, or anyone for liking it.
