Women ruined gaming again… Note: This is my first EVER scripted & researched video essay commentary video! Leave a like to let me know if you want more of this kind of video in the future!
This video is interesting insofar as it’s the creator’s first venture into video commentary. Due to the hype surrounding GTA6, the fascist/anti-feminist backlash bleeds into the mainstream and now people who had previously not been aware of the fascist/anti-feminist content on social media are exposed to it. [Most of the fascist/anti-feminist content creators she mentions are the usual suspects of fascist/anti-feminist content and have been at it for years.]
It was so hilariously obvious that the backlash about The Last Of Us part 2 was all about the horror of having to play as a woman instead of John McGun-Bro, rather than because those gamers hated the idea of being able to dive into prone to hide from enemies with improved AI who worked together to hunt you. If Joel had died heroicly at the end of the story destroying the cordeceps mothership with a forehead nuke he would have become so manly in death that the incels all spontaneously grew vaginas at the AMOG of it all.
No one hated playing as Ellie in the first game. Nor with the second.
Edit: when you can’t retort you can only downvote.
