It is subtle, yes, like when she finds a magazine on Bill's place, see a naked man, jokes about it but doesn't care about it at all.

It was a very important topic in the DLC, and most people that played the game had access to the DLC because it was part of the Remastered edition that released for the PS4 when the game was 1 year old, aside from all the people that got it for the PS3 before that, the PS4 version made the game go from 7M on PS3 to over 20M sales.

The point stands, pretty much everyone that played it before TLoU Part 2 knew it, and nobody was complaining at all about it, it wasn't even a focal point of discussion on Part 2 itself either, Joel's death and Abby's strength was, before the game had even released, so no, people were not in fact worried about anything woke, it was only a word they could unite around to hate the game, some because of console warring, some to get views, and from there on everything Sony released, before it was even released, has gone throught that idiocy.

Have you played Part 2, btw?

Yeah, I didn't notice. I mean, the part you're talking about, where she isn't interested in the magazine, I didn't take that to mean she was into girls because well, not many straight young girls that age would be into dude-porn, anyway. But I did laugh, because I knew what her sexuality would later be thanks to the controversy.

As for the sequel, the above ruined my interest. And then threads like this obliterated the plot so it's like, what's the point? I may get it down the line, anyway. We'll see. 

I mean, I kinda agree that her sexual orientation is not that obvious even after playing the DLC, nor do I think it's even important a discussion point for TloU1. 

So I actually think her being gay is a surprise for most of the player base, and only on retrospect do the situations in TloU1 hint at this. But at the same time, I don't think it's surprising because again her sexuality isn't even a point of topic in TloU1.

i also wouldn't worry so much about this thread seemingly spoiling more of the game than you may have anticipated. Honestly, the parts being talked about here are like a drop in the water in regards to the interesting, exciting, and shocking moments in the game. There are actual gameplay moments you'll experience that you'll find more exciting I'm pretty sure of that.
