TLOU2's story would still be terrible even if all characters were straight white males, and conversely a story with nothing but lesbian women can still be good. You can say the reason for the bad writing is because they shifted priorities, propaganda over entertainment, but ultimately the fault is bad writing, so why make it about identity politics? I say just leave that to the people who wanna defend something but have no actual arguments to defend with.

I would like to know though what they were thinking when they decided to have pregnant women be soldiers. Already odd to have women fighting when humanity is on the brink of extinction, but my suspension of disbelief is completely shattered when they send pregnant women to battle despite having so many able bodies they coulda sent instead. Is this supposed to empower women, telling them they're just as capable as any man even while pregnant? Worst part is these women willingly chose to fight. Such stupid decisions and bad parenting triggered me to the point of hating this game more than any other. I guess I have to give Naughty Dog that, been a long time since something that doesn't directly affect my livelihood got me so angry.

Because it makes you win arguments and allows you to call other people biggots.
