But can you recall ever seeing the same kind of reaction when fan favorites are replaced by non "diverse" characters?  For example, when Snake was replaced by Raiden people were upset, but it wasn't met with this kind of reaction.  When Dante was replaced by Nero for half of Devil May Cry 4, the reaction was not all that extreme.  

If it is solely about replacing older characters, we should expect the same general level of outrage whenever an old character is replaced.  But, that's not what we see.  I'm sure part of the reaction is because of displacing beloved characters, but that doesn't explain it all.

Raiden, and Dante didn't brutally murder the people they were replacing.

That is a valid criticism of the story.  I was on the fence about playing TLOU and the spoilers definitely made me not want to.  I have no interest in playing through one game as these characters, and then killing them in the next.  And some people have focused on that element, which is understandable.

A lot of other people have specifically harped on the fact that Abby is not traditionally feminine.  And that raises some serious flags as to what their real issue is.
