Pretty much agree completely with you.Yeah, it's a bunch of battleship. If they played the first game and the dlc they would have know elli was gay. It's like this big shock to them. When it shouldn't have been. I think it was bill in the first game that was gay, nobody said anything about it. Or they weren't paying attention.
As expected I'm seeing lots of people saying "waaaaaaaah forced agendas" and "stop with the SJW battleship" in comments sections. That's not surprising. What is good to see though, is all of those comments are bombarded by people shutting them down with reasonable arguments. Seems like this game has a large amount of sensible fans, and the triggered conservatives are only a tiny minority.
Tlou 2 will be the game of the gen. And the perfect ending to current gen gaming.
