Sure there wasn't. You playing a non-sexualized girl who is either gay or bi since she harbors a crush on her blue-haired, beanie-wearing, anti-establishment, lesbian best friend totally isn't progressive or "woke".
Probably because LiS wasn't a zombie apocalypse action game previously starring a gruff, bearded manly man... who was straight.
If you think that Max is gay or bi, then that's just projection. AFAIK, in the course of the game, it's never stated or implied that she has a church on Chloe.
Exactly. Companies should be making new IPs instead of shoving progressiveness inside the 3rd, or 4th game in the series. All that'll do is alienate the existing audience. Build up your own audience if you're so confident in your progressive ideas.
One of the characters(the guy living in the church) in TLOU was implied to be gay. The DLC established Ellie was as well.
I don't think it's possible to think less of gamers than the hardcore gamer crowd already do.
Pffffft, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!
Correction, it was the second game. And it was revealed in the DLC of the first game. Also Bill was gay in the first game, so what in god's holy name are you trying to shovel?
And nobody complained about Bill being gay, also no, the DLC did not establish that Ellie was gay. An underaged war-torn orphan kissing another underage war-torn orphan because they're never going to see each-other again is evidence of trauma moreso than evidence of sexuality.
Does this mean you're conceding the point since you have no rebuttal?
Wow dude, just seriously, fucking WOW!
I mean since Ellie did end up being gay, the implication behind the DLC was to show that she was gay. I see the argument why it wouldn't necessarily be the case, but since she is a gay character as proven later, then the DLC does serve as the origins for that.
Let Tony Stark refute you on why that doesn't work. Think of Pillinger as the esteemed indie devs who make these thought provoking progressive titles like Gone Home and Sunset, actual Sunlight and other indie game and Tony Stark being EA and the Big Six
Okay then, it's evidence of abandonment issues between underage war-torn orphans.
You can say that she's gay now, but I'm not going to retroactively say that she was always written to be gay, as if the writers had consciously thought that far ahead.
Bill is a good example of how you can do inclusion without hammering it in. IMO sexuality of a character really only matters if the story involves romantic arcs. Otherwise the sexuality can be used kind as a passive "oh hey this character is gay btw." But it's meaningless if they have no relationships in the story.
Oh, so all these big companies are shoving progressivisim into their games out of a desire to make the world a better place? I find that very hard to believe.
Yeah sure, and Joel and Tess were actually both gay but simply bumped uglies because of post-apocalypse trauma.
Thank the lord you're here to judge whether a child is actually gay or not, which is apparently never. 14-year old boy and girl kiss eachother; they must be in love. 14-year old girl and girl kiss eachother; they just don't know themselves yet.
I'll take this as you conceding the point again, since this isn't a counter-argument.
No, you should take it as me satirizing your previous post, because that's the only thing it was worthy of.
It was a double-dare, and, on top of that, the player's choice. Max doesn't have to do this.
Also nothing gay about them going nightime swimming in their underwear and getting suspiciously close to eachother. It's just war-torn, college outcasts with abandonment issues.
Nothing lesbian about two girls kissing at all.
There is still profit to be found, but it's a long term thing as they weed out chuds like you and alienate you as hard as possible while everyone else enjoys what they are given
