    It’s because Abby kills someone these incels idolized as well as the online rants way back then that she was forced into the game’s plot as some sort of “woke” movement. Their reasoning was that it was unrealistic how strong she was (i.e. blah blah blah, “muscular women during the apocalypse being unrealistic due to limited resources” blah blah more idiotic arguments). I can’t even remember all the other stupid shit they said. The controversy over that game was so obnoxious. The bottom line is that it was a pretty good game and incels need therapy.

      I can understand some of the reasoning behind the fact that she’s too strong, but this applies to almost every video game character. Just try hanging on a cliff by your fingertips 😅

      Also, being not so enthusiastic about the extend of the LGBTQ movement, I think Naughty Dog made a really good job in this series with really touching stories and characters who aren’t too stereotypical.

      I really enjoyed Ellie ´s struggle to find her identity and her love story. It makes you think about how difficult it could be sometimes in real life.

      Also in the first game there was a gay character I hadn’t noticed he was gay during the first playthrough.

      It just shows you how subtle it was.
