Hm. Although he explained it quite comprehensively you burried his point in a pile of ignorance. Tlou has two good examples. Ellies "coming out" is no secret. Does it needs to be mentioned to further make a point? I don't know. Would it matter? As normal as Bill being portrait as a gay man, so was Ellies character development. As "normal" as Nates and Elenas relationship was portrait. Nobody cared. There was no huge hubbub. In Cyberpunk 2077 there will be gay/trans player characters. Again, nobody seem to mind. One reason could be a futuristic cyberpunk society where body augmentation is practically buying gum from a vending machine, authentically going hand in hand with cyberpunk philosophy. It is another text book example of how it's done correctly. And it appears the hype for the game is still through the roof. For now. Do you think it will get review bombed to oblivion as well? It certainly will if we to believe the reason why Tlou2 gets so much flack by the fan base and gamer community is homo-/transsexuality. Not that i expect an answer. But i'd like to know: How many heterosexual relationships in videogames and heterosexuality in general as a main focal point can you name? Of how many video game characters sexual orientation do you know of? What's the sexual orientation of Claire Redfield for example. Are Link and Zelda a couple? I don't know. I don't care. It never have seemed to be important. But not any more it doesn't not. Now it matters how mucho heterosexual video games are. |
I ask a simple question, to which you say it’s a pile of ignorance (ok, sure, mate lol), but then you go on to write one of the most ignorant comment about this.
Talk about rich.
