Current Events > PS4 board is currently having a meltdown over LGBT representation in TLOU 2

(+) Yeah! (+)

Gamefaqs says it's okay with gays, until the topic of representation comes up. The second somebody suggests a gay character in their games (or god forbid there actually is one), this website starts screaming SJWs REEEEEEE it's fine that you exist, but stay out of our video games SJWs

check the PS4 board if you want to see it happening now

(The trailer for TLOU 2 shows Ellie kissing a girl)

System boards being childish and 50/50 trolls eating hearty is not news though
---

they would have literally never shown her kiss a guy in the trailer if she was straight
---

Duh. I was there.

RPG codex is having a meltdown becuase cyberpunk 2077 has sunlight in it.

You're a good person

well to be fair this kind of thing really pisses off the kind of person who would use the term SJW seriously
just dont take those types seriously their opinions arent worth listening to
---

I've seen the same shit on the Switch board, because people there love to feel oppressed by Sony fanboys and "strike back". I saw some guy say "it isn't realistic, a person like that would not have survived the zombie apocalypse" and "they should cater to the intended demographic, 16-30 males".

Could have been bait, but it's fucking disgusting regardless.

The funniest thing is that the first game had a standalone DLC called Left Behind that showed Ellie kissing a girl, but suddenly it's 2018 and it's SJWs taking over the industry and killing gaming etc. Like bitch, this has been established. Fucking fake gamer guys, amirite.

No lesbians in my big boy games!

Who are the badguys? Liberal vs Conservative

You know what's funny?

Ellie will never pass on her immunity to the cordyceps infection because she won't reproduce.

I thought the trailer was sweet, tbh.

...outside of Ellie killing all of those people.

Even though TLoU1 covered rape and black market surgery, who is to say it won't happen again?

I'm pretty sure that a lesbian who really wanted a kid and had no other options could bring herself to have straight sex a few times.

Wasn't she a child in the first one? I've never played the game, but how do you complain about someone "bait and switching" her sexuality if it wasn't something that was known in the beginning.
---

^ she *spoilers for the first game's dlc* also kisses another girl

so this isn't anything new.

she was a lesbian in the first game

I know you can tell from an early age, I'm just saying it there usually isnt much mainstream representation for LGBT youth. I don't see it much in video games.

*church-like stage*
*shows lesbian scene*

A+ Sony lmao
---

I didn't even play TLoU and even I know Ellie was gay in the DLC.

Edit: Oh wait, I read through some of the topics linked in the OP and apparently people argued (and are STILL arguing) that she's not really gay, she was just experimenting. Or it was a best friend kiss. Or one Rhodes Scholar arguing that Ellie just wants to bang that girl because she's the only one around.

lmao

i cried when they kissed
it meant so much to me to see that being represented in a media form i care about
if i had seen that when i was much younger i feel like growing up might have been that much easier instead of being fearful for the whole first part of my life

Most of those posters I've never seen before and I post there regularly

I wish I could feel that way still but I'm too suspicious and pessimistic about motives and such to. I honestly envy that you felt that... to me it was eye rolling and that made me sad that my reaction was such.

Just when we though CE was toxic, system boards are a new level of toxicity.

The dudes on the Persona board really hate the idea of having gay romances. Like they really hate it.
---

There is a reason why I left that board.
---

Its mostly trolls that probably are pro LGBT but enjoy stoking the flames for a fun topic. Some topics are created by new sigless users lol.

Then some might actually be real since Reddit and /v/ muh Trump type people came to the site in the last few years for whatever reason.

system boards always get lulzy around e3. good entertainment.

Dont like it, dont buy it.

The PS4 is one place you can legitimately say is loaded full of racist, homophobic, sexist nerds

One day gamers will grow up to the point where society at large will take them seriously. That day isn't today, and it won't be tomorrow, either.
---

Jesus fucking Christ. These guys don't deserve fucking video games. Calm the fuck down.

the worst part about the trailer is that it didnt really do anything to make me interested in the game. I have no issue with the lesbian kiss people just like making a big deal out of nothing.
---

People on the Xbone board were bitching about the main character in Gears 5 being female.

Bunch of betas.

As was already proved with Korrasami, no one has a deeper understanding of the intricacies of girl-girl courtship - and how our media never ever foreshadows and develops such relationships believably - than lonely male internet nerds.
---

The fact that the TC spent so much time picking through all these topics and finding quotes from them tells me one thing: you have got WAY too much time on your hands.

Get off the internet for a while.

Hasn't Ellie being gay been known since that DLC? >.>

I guarantee at least half of them are trolls just trolling for shits and giggles >_>

I wouldn't be so sure of that. There are a lot of MRAs over there. Need look no further than the massive amount of anti-Horizon topics
