Ok i don't use any of those words, but just because a couple of people used terms as "tranny" doesn't mean the whole thread or site is filled with homophobes or people against LGBT.

"very male female" is not in anyway derogatory, it's an observation that would only offend those sensitive on an extreme level.

Should a thread be locked for questioning a certain videogame with political undertones which weren't neccessary in the first place? But that's exactly what the mods are doing.

Oh and nice try trying to expose me but like i said im barely on this site because of things like this anymore so.

Explain to me why including positive portrayal of trans or queer people for instance would be "unnecessary political undertones", while positive portrayals of cis-gendered heterosexuals would not be?

The way I see it, it's a political message either way.  The only difference is how the complainer feels about the group of people or type of relationship being portrayed.

I don't think i need to explain this to you if you'd actually played the first game. Ellie was shown to have romantic feelings for another girl in the DLC which nobody had a problem with, in fact, most accepted or embraced it.

But her sexuality is not what the whole game was about nor even heterosexual relationships, it was about Joel and Ellie trying to survive this zombie apocalypse and building up this father daughter relationship together. 

From the next game's trailers, leaks, interviews and even response after the leaks it seems this whole sexuality thing is a major point of the whole game, ditching old characters in favor of this political acceptance message. Cause you see, some people here like to make it a "Heterosexual vs Gays" thing but it's not about that at all, it's that the game is being heavily directed in a way most fans didn't expect it to go in and is really not what the original game is known for.
