        Do people really complain about playing as a lesbian? That’s like double the tits.

        I did hear whining about having to play as a trans character though, despite the fact that you don’t. I can only imagine those people never played it and were just “hur dur big arms = man”.

          Sadly yes

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_of_Us_Part_II#Audience_response

          The Last of Us Part II was the subject of review bombing on Metacritic, resulting in a user review score of 3.4/10 at its nadir.[129][130] Reporters noticed the review bombing occurred shortly after the game launched—too early for users to feasibly have finished it;[131] some suggested that the reviews were based on the incomplete plot leaks.[102][130] Many negative reviews criticized the characterization and plot;[129][131] some complained of “social justice warrior” politics, with vitriolic responses to LGBT characters

          They also thought that because Abby had muscles she was trans.

          Alright, I doubt you were going in this direction, but I’m going to rant anyway.

          As guy, I’ve been sick and tired of male fetishization of lesbians in media for years. It’s creepy. They are not interested in you. Stop acting like you’re going to be the one to convert them into being bi. You aren’t.

          Thank the stars that media is (slowly) growing out of this stereotype, because it’s not funny anymore, if was ever funny.

          / Rant over

          Anyways, sorry to dump on your comment. It’s (hopefully) not directed at you. It just needs to be said somewhere

      Kingdom Come Deliverance 2

      Edit: it’s optional, yet people still complain about it. I’ve even seen a forum post of someone who gleefully explained that he murdered an NPC because that NPC is canonically gay
