Reply to comment by PercySledge in I don't get the love for The Last of Us episode 3 by [deleted]

It wasn't brilliant and it didn't make me love or mourn the losses of Bill and Frank in anyway. I was bored to death waiting for them to die.

Disappointing episode and the continual dumb trend of making everything gay so everyone is forced to agree that it's good or else.

Yes I’m absolutely certain based on this comment that you’d have found the episode equally dull and umaffecting if it wasn’t a gay couple

Dude, your entire post reads of cringe. The characters were always gay - the only thing the episode did was give them a much more cohesive, nuanced and realistically emotional backstory.

The only people who think that "everything is being made gay" are the people who aren't comfortable enough in their world view to be able to accept the fact that not everyone looks, acts or lives like them.

Spoiler alert: if you think this episode was gay, wait til you see season 2.

While I certainly don’t think it makes the show/game worse… having played both games, it’s not untrue that gay/queer folks are overrepresented in TLOU. Considering they are generally less than 10% of the population.

But given that historically, gays have been underrepresented in media, this might be a good thing.

In the second game especially though, there is a sense of “wait, he/she is also gay?”
