You didn't really read my comment then if that's all you took away from it.

My point is because Naughty Dog is currently trying to pander to SJWs, they're doing everything they can to make this game everything those people want and not what the fans want.

Evil white people? Check.

Evil white people are homophobic? Check.

Main character is a lesbian? Check.

Kill off straight white male protagonist using a transsexual character? Check.

And actually, you're helping prove my point. So many people think it's okay for white people to be the bad guys simply because if it's in the United States, they're the majority of the population, (which I do agree with as that makes logical sense.) but if white people are the protagonists, suddenly there's a problem. Suddenly, there isn't enough representation. Suddenly, you need a black character, or a gay character, or a woman, to even things out. But meanwhile, there can be billions of white people on the bad guy's side and no one bats an eye. Do you see what I'm saying here?

And you are right, there are plenty of white people who hate gays and lesbians to this very day within the US. I'm not denying that. But it annoys me that we're even having this discussion, when the game's setting is that of a post-apocalypse. Why do we need antagonists who focus on hating gays and minorities at all? Because it's the United States? Then why didn't we have that in the first game? Because people wanted to, I don't know, tell a story and develop characters, and not make some BS propaganda to pander to the lowest common denominator? How can I tell they're so low? Because they're begging people to play this game, after so many are cancelling their pre-orders from the leaks. If they had nothing to worry about, the fucking head of TLoU2 wouldn't have to had set up his phone to record himself saying "This game is great...it's unlike anything you've ever played...please buy it?" Now, why would they do that if they're so sure this game is going to be successful?

Also not sure how you misunderstood my point about Ellie being a lesbian.

I'm not calling Ellie "Ellie the Lesbian", I'm saying Naughty Dog is calling her that, because according to Naughty Dog, that's all that matters. Yes, we knew Ellie was gay from that DLC, but that didn't change the main plot of the game, or even the plot of the DLC. It was a moment of character growth, but it wasn't all about how she may or may not be gay. Now, that's all this game will be about. They don't want to tell an interesting story that relates to the fact they're living in a POST APOCALYPSE, all they're doing is saying "Gee, it sure sucks white people hate gays no matter WHAT is going on in the world."
