I expected more of that and thankfully this is the first time I've heard of anyone seeing that comparison. It being on FB tho... I guess you can expect that. I've seen some awful takes on Bluesky but FB never fails to remind me why I spend more time here.
Oh I mean I have this weird compulsion to click on TLOU things that pop up on Facebook just to see how many weird incels comment on Bella Ramsey so I can reload my hatred for humanity.
The culture war aspect was when the game released - a little beforehand, actually, because the game leaked and idiots wanted to fan the flames with anti-trans rhetoric while spoiling what happened ahead of release.
I think Abbey isn’t buff on the show because they wanted to avoid people transvestigating her again. All the grifters had to pivot and make up more bullshit after that was false.
Don't go on the last of us 2 reddit. The super chips took over and are currently lamenting they didn't recast Bella Ramsey to some other older looking person, including a cosplayer.
Thinking about it, it might've been a moment of radicalization for me because it made me realize how fucking weird right wingers were with their reactions to the leaks of the game lmao
The only thing that bothers me about this story line (game) is that I swear you could find a memo in the hospital level that Abbey's father wrote saying the experiments would never work and he did them on the immune to give hope to people. Like this frames things VERY differently for me.
I had thought something like that in the first game because they came to the decision to do those experiments in less than 3 weeks. That's not enough time to come to any real conclusion on her immunity and never sat right with me
Ah thank you! I was doubting myself for awhile there lol.
I thought it was a good addition and made Abbey's revenge more of a human flawed experience, it made it about ehat her dad was to her, even though he was an absolute monster. It made it, for me at least about personal pain and what we ignore
This NEVER existed. NEVER. Not in any version of the game, nor was it ever patched out.
What does exist, is that Fireflies have constantly been studying cordyceps. He did experiments, but it was on infected people. There were NO OTHER immune people. Ellie is the only immune person.

She isn’t perfect but they act like she is awful when she isn’t.
