Why isn't there a thread about this on Resetera? I feel like I need someone to tell me if this is good or bad.

Funny screencap aside, i don't understand what's so controversial about a sex scene in a videogame, it's not even the first time we've had one. Not really news worthy, tbh.

It's because the female character is buff and kinda masculine. 

So it's triggering homophobes / anti-SJW types and the dutch.

Girl looks like a linebacker. 

[Straight Edge]

Sony Ponies get triggered by female nudity, especially breasts, so ND made a character that no one could accuse of being objectified in that sex scene.

Remind me again what Miller did?

(Image removed from quote.)

Miller had some interview around the time he made Batman versus The Jihadi Hatters (whatever it was called) where he goes "Those people don't even know how to build the planes they crashed into the WTC, unlike us." (Paraphrase but basically that). I believe he had some more shitty statements since though I may be speaking out of my arse.

Doesn't take a critical genius to feel that Miller was always pretty conflicted and borderline on some issues, you wouldn't get the obvious and sincere love/hate push and pull regarding vigilantism in DKR, Sin City or Daredevil Born Again otherwise. The ambiguity is the whole appeal of the books. It's not exactly surprising that as he got older and lost some of his touch he would dip in saying stupid things.

Not to say he gets a pass or anything but
Maybe it's building a better world ultimately to only foster "good and decent" people and creators. Feel like we might sanitize culture into shallower ground, though, but what do I know ?

the only interviews I've seen him give talking about Holy Terror were ones where he was saying he wanted to make an explicit propaganda comic in the style of WW2 comics, and wanted to use Batman as the lead (which DC balked at for obvious reasons), so from that perspective, and given actual 40s comics starring the big properties were... uh... well, you know

I don't think its fair to say its just authorial racist fantasy.

Your comparison capture is better. Borks is terrible, it's unclear who could've been the model in that one given the Depth of Field/etc.

[Nintex]

Hopefully this becomes a trend 

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

It's Druckmann playing around with gender sterotypes and sexuality;  the assumption was the muscle broad was maybe trans or lesbian but no, she's a dick loving straighter.

And his self insert doing the fucking is likely purposeful to;  all to make people feel uncomfortable about it.

I have a very clear memory of that and I commented on it at the time (elsewhere).
I don't think this Grauniad article covers those specific statements but Miller was somewhat contrite for some of the stuff he said about this and Occupy Wall Street :

yeah, I'd have thought the guardian of all outlets would have pulled him up on anything he'd said outside of his work with an anti-muslim bent, as they do on comments he made about occupy wall street.
He's more complex than people on the internet would believe - shocking, I know!
Like, in that interview he talks about how he finds the relation between Sparta and Greece fascinating, as an entirely fascist society that ensures the democratic one.

[VomKriege]

And I would think the talk about that magnification love scene would be in the Last of Us 2 spoiler thread on ERA. Started browsing, people are mad at stuff (deceptive advertising).

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Apparently some of the lines said by Joel in the trailers are attributed to other characters in the game, probably to cover up the fact he dies early on. Seems... not that extraordinary of a deception to pull ?

good effort, but how about a second pass

[Cauliflower Of Love]

That doesn't looks like a sex scene, that looks like a rape scene. (I'm making judgments from a two second gif)

[Don Rumata]

Seems to me there's whole bunch of "Bitch Eatin' Crackers" going on with Last of Us 2, due to:
1) Sony Ponies being obnoxious.
2) Game Reviewers being hyperbolic.

 

The game should arrive tomorrow though, so i'll be the judge myself.
ND games are filled with clichès and sort of mediocre (in the grand scheme of things) as far as writing goes, but they aren't shit.
So i'll wait to see how things play in context.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

Wait just read spoilers... OK so Abby is actually M2F trans?

Yes, assuming she's the "trans character we're not allowed to talk about" from reviews.

That doesn't looks like a sex scene, that looks like a rape scene. (I'm making judgments from a two second gif)

Nah if you watch the full scene they kiss beforehand and stuff, it's consentual.

That being said, it's fucking disgusting. It's pathetic that a guy like Druckmann would include scene like this where a man (who is a visual stand-in for himself) cheats on his girfriend, as though it's perfectly fine for someone to do that.

[Uncle]

Wait just read spoilers... OK so Abby is actually M2F trans?

Yes, assuming she's the "trans character we're not allowed to talk about" from reviews.

seems like people who have played the game all the way through say it's neither confirmed nor denied and not brought up by anyone

and then other people say "come the fuck on dude look at the chest that's all the evidence you need"

so it's probably a deep artful statement about our assumptions

"And it's no small thing that Naughty Dog decided to primarily tell this story not with the typical white, straight, male antihero, but a gay woman. Ellie's bisexual girlfriend Dina and a trans character (whose identity I'm not permitted to spoil) also play major roles."

I just assumed the review was talking about Abby.

Maybe i'm part of the problem. If there really is no confirmation she's trans then clearly they want people to be discussing it, and that's pretty sick that they'd use that in order to drum up hype/controversy for the game. Using whether or not someone is trans as a marketing strategy isn't being an ally.

Yeah, I’m interested more in the public reaction (if ends living up the hype or burning up in the trash) rather than playing the actual game. At this point, if is a shitshow, would be clear tomorrow rather than writing fanfics about Neil Druckman.

really got confused with the terminology "18+ patches"

oh the devs are patching their games so that all characters are 18+?  what's wrong with that?

oh wait the patches are made for players who are 18+ but now the characters are 17-

you're really just gonna misgender me like that, huh

Don't know why people are saying you need to play the game to experience it? Naughty dog games has the same experience if you watched it or played it, the only difference is you're not pressing buttons to make them move. Is pressing the square button in this game going to change my entire perspective on the game?

[clothedmacuser]
