    The Last of Us 2 absolutely had a hate campaign long before it released, it was review bombed within minutes of release

    This game had everything on its side. All the youtuber who covered it the months before release were like “it seems too good to be true, but if it’s true it’ll be great”. Everyone wanted it to be good, everyone wanted it to succeed

        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)

          Oh yes doi of course, that was just a brain fart. But yes exactly this, it was such a spectacularly gAmEr moment.

          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.
