For these people it’s all about the “culture war”, and for them, for whatever reason, Abby from TLou2 is a part of that.
It's because Abby kills someone these incels idolized as well as the online rants way back then that she was forced into the game's plot as some sort of "woke" movement. Their reasoning was that it was unrealistic how strong she was (i.e. blah blah blah, "muscular women during the apocalypse being unrealistic due to limited resources" blah blah more idiotic arguments). I can't even remember all the other stupid shit they said. The controversy over that game was so obnoxious. The bottom line is that it was a pretty good game and incels need therapy.
I can understand some of the reasoning behind the fact that she’s too strong, but this applies to almost every video game character. Just try hanging on a cliff by your fingertips 😅
Also, being not so enthusiastic about the extend of the LGBTQ movement, I think Naughty Dog made a really good job in this series with really touching stories and characters who aren’t too stereotypical.
I really enjoyed Ellie ´s struggle to find her identity and her love story. It makes you think about how difficult it could be sometimes in real life.
Also in the first game there was a gay character I hadn’t noticed he was gay during the first playthrough.
It just shows you how subtle it was.
Before the game came out we had two major leaks. The first one was that Joel gets killed, and that Abby is the one who does it. The second one was that it features a trans character. Abby being a muscle mommy made those people assume that Abby must be the trans character. So from their perspective, a trans character murders their beloved (and definitely no closeted gay feelings attached) daddy Joel. This fabricated & deluded image became their perfect scapegoat for their fake outrage.
