I find it hilarious when a developer is embracing inclusivity and representation in its projects is considered political and is attacked and hated for it. When instead we should be applauding them.
I for one am very proud of being a Naughty Dog fan and welcome the "direction they're heading" as it more realistic and believable than having only white wise cracking males with buff bodies dominant the industry. There's more to this world than white guys and sexy vixen women. I would love to be able to see a multitude of different characters being covered in video games. We should have more diversity and I hope we get to see it during the next generation.
I also find it more funny that a minority character needs to be explained into the story and need to "make sense" ad it's not realistic enough for some, and their existence need to be scrutinized and put under a microscope. I see people here questioning U4's Naidine while turning a blind eye to the biggest plot hole in the history of ND... SAM. And for those questioning Abby's body... Women come in different shapes and sizes... And colours... Some are flat chested and have no waist... Some look more masculine... Nature is complicated... GET OVER IT!
