so it looks like they are just promoting the last of us 2 as a game that is defined by sexuality and nothing else. there are also a lot of naughty dog employees that have nothing but gay content on their profiles and are at war with people who have no problem with gay people but disagree with what the company is doing to promote their game. they are literally manipulating people who arent interested into the first game to just support the company and buy the game because ellie is lesbian. these people are a bunch of snakes.

Has anyone played Last of Us 2? Is it any good?

I dislike the "politics first" approach in any context, but it makes a difference whether or not the game is actually good. If they're shoveling out a ho-hum sequel and expecting people to purchase in in the name of PROGRESS, they can stop that shit right now. If the game is as good as the first one, and they're just a little too excited about showing off how progressive they are, it shouldn't take away from the game itself.

Virtue signalling is annoying. I dislike it almost as much as mild discrimination; which is saying something considering it is a much lesser offense. But there's a difference between banging the gong in the name of progress and trying to use politics to sell a product of poor quality. *cough*Ghost Busters*cough*

normalizing it does. acceptance is a fairly new concept with regard to the LGBT. in our recent history we had people attack them, try to take their rights away, and not wanting to treat them as human. As a result, and in an attempt to normalize it, people are promoting it in a positive way to undo all the negativity that was placed upon it for decades. Don't blame "THE LIBERAL SJWs!", blame the bigots. If they just decided not to be assholes and accept people for who they are we wouldn't have to work so hard to undo the stigma and negativity that they caused.

Look, i agree that LGBT people in media is increasing but I don't see why that's a bad thing....why is it always considered pandering? Its a fact that lesbian couples do exist in this world. its not an absurd notion that a lesbian couple might end up in a movie/tv show/game. It should just be a normal thing that can happen...but every time it does there are a bunch of people who cry about pandering and virtue signaling. at what point will you all accept that maybe it isn't being forced on you like you feel it is and maybe its just...reality.

It's pandering when it's used as a selling/hype element broadcasted to the masses rather than a natural occurence to be discovered by the audience on their own, I also don't buy for one second that the company doing it *actually* cares about the community they're aiming for, making the attempt at inclusion feel like a dishonest, "token" gesture.

Seriously, I'm starting to get to the point where I want to closet myself again because I feel it's my fault that half of game developers think I'm a brat to be placated lest they be accused of bigotry, and the other half are feeding me faux compassion to avoid the same accusation.

I don't like all this arm-twisting of someone's creativity.

that's what I'm saying. straight relationships are constantly promoted in trailers of games/movies/etc. this was literally no different than that but of course every one instantly started moaning about pandering...maybe just stop having that reaction to such a normal, everyday thing.

I think the catch up is on the interpretation of the word Agenda.

Do I think Naughty Dog chose to make her a lesbian in an attempt to show support? Yes.

Do I think they did it primarily as a cash grab? No..this game was going to sell no matter what. they didn't need a hook for it to sell.

At the end of the day lesbian couples exist, there is a lesbian couple in this game, it should have never been a big deal. Some day people need to stop crying about pandering when its hurting no one. When are we going to get the point where there can be a gay couple in something and people just say "oh cool", like they do with straight couples?
