I wonder if women get briefed by developers/publishers when they’re hired to act or model for a game, if they’re at all made aware of what will happen in social media as a consequence of being hired. I wonder if, whoever will end up being cast as Abby in HBO’s adaptation of The Last of Us, she will be made aware that,

No wonder why people are mad. Making her a lesbian creates yet another obstacle for angry, misogynist incels trying to sleep with her - aside from Aloy being from the future, and fictional, and a non-existent digital woman made of 1s and 0s. But other than that, they were so close to scoring.

Not to mention the fact that Aloy gets hit on by guys pretty regularly across two games, from grunts to an actual king, and seems uncomfortable each time.

It’s kinda hilarious that people are just complaining about this now, considering that you literally fight the ex-girlfriend of the person you are a clone of. The implications of this must’ve flown above their Neanderthal brains.

I know this is mostly preaching to the choir, but I don’t understand why this is such a problem. Same sex romance has been a thing, if not the standard, in video games for years. At least since the early 2000s if not sooner. So why is it an issue now with this game? Aloy isn’t canonically straight. Her sexuality has

Ugh, these people are so easily annoyed. What snowflakes. Gay couples in games? Pissy. Ethnic Minorities? So much bitching. There’s no pleasing them unless it’s a white, cis het man in everything.

The fundamental change is that she’s in charge. She never said she didn’t like or was forced to make the content itself, only that she didn’t have a say on when/how much/for how long.

Strange how these dipshits whine that banning people spewing the N-Word, harassing Trans individuals, or claiming that drinking bleach will cure COVID is “violating the user’s free speech”, but they draw the line at mocking the petulant billionaire upset that he’s being clowned on.

Even funnier are the Musk stans running around defending it as "his company his rules" ignorant of the "free speech" Musk promised. 

Jeezus one of these days they’re going to look up in the sky, sees a rainbow and throw a ragefit on how God has abandoned them.

“forcing” - the only people in this story trying to force others to do something are the whiny QAnon parents.

Others were concerned that the mural was discriminatory towards Christian beliefs.

Conservatives literally can’t go five minutes without abusing children.

This is one of the few instances where I’m like “Can we put a red circle on the part you’re talking about? I literally see nothing out of the ordinary here.”

Like... the kid PAINTED. A MURAL. Do you know how much I would have been terrified of doing that? I wouldn’t have been that brave (people criticizing my artwork),

The current headline for this article is misleading/clickbait. This is not a Genshin Impact Mural. It is a mural with an element of Genshin Impact. Perhaps the headline could read; Middle School Mural with Element of Genshin Impact Has Some Parents Calling it Satanic.

Attendee: “None of us are that stupid.”

Right Wingers are the biggest snowflakes on the fucking planet I swear lol.

“None of us are that stupid.””

oooh, slow down there for a moment, hon.

A conservative-identifying parent

Man I’m really happy I’m not Bible-Belt-level religious and/or conservative. Couldn’t imagine living my life with that much hatred in my heart.
