!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Last of us part 2?

[–] Screen_Shatter@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Part 1 too but only addressed in DLC.

Do people really complain about playing as a lesbian? That's like double the tits.

I did hear whining about having to play as a trans character though, despite the fact that you don't. I can only imagine those people never played it and were just "hur dur big arms = man".

Sadly yes

The Last of Us Part II was the subject of review bombing on Metacritic, resulting in a user review score of 3.4/10 at its nadir.[129][130] Reporters noticed the review bombing occurred shortly after the game launched—too early for users to feasibly have finished it;[131] some suggested that the reviews were based on the incomplete plot leaks.[102][130] Many negative reviews criticized the characterization and plot;[129][131] some complained of "social justice warrior" politics, with vitriolic responses to LGBT characters

They also thought that because Abby had muscles she was trans.

Alright, I doubt you were going in this direction, but I'm going to rant anyway.

As guy, I've been sick and tired of male fetishization of lesbians in media for years. It's creepy. They are not interested in you. Stop acting like you're going to be the one to convert them into being bi. You aren't.

Thank the stars that media is (slowly) growing out of this stereotype, because it's not funny anymore, if was ever funny.

/ Rant over

Anyways, sorry to dump on your comment. It's (hopefully) not directed at you. It just needs to be said somewhere
