      It wasn’t her it was Abby, because she was buff they claimed she was trans. Then there was a sex scene with Abby and man and they claimed is was an unskipable gay male sex scene (it was skipable, btw, and it was hetero sex, but she’s got biceps)

        Can’t help but feel some distaste for the idea that a mandatory gay sex scene is grounds for boycott, while most of them don’t mind a mandatory straight sex scene in an M-rated game.

        I have my issues with TLoU2 but that one really brought the chuds out of the woodwork.

          They take any presence of minorities as part of an agenda to, uh, I don’t know what exactly. They always screech about an agenda but I don’t think even they know what the agenda is supposed to be about.

        Weird. All the negative press around Abby I read was how she was treated as sympathetic even after brutally murdering everyone’s favorite surrogate video game father figure.

          That was after the game released and people actually played it, I’m talking about the stuff leadong up to the launch day
