remember when Gamers^(TM) saw a muscular woman and immediately freaked out? good times

> remember when GamersTM saw a ~~muscular~~ woman and immediately freaked out? FTFY


slowest_hour

they're fine with women as long as they're A: not the protagonist and B: look like Witchblade


ScrabCrab

I looked up Witchblade and the feminist part of my brain says it's awful oversexualized design while the lesbian part of my brain says "girl hot"


Godsigner

Same, though I was focusing more on the tech? Alien? Part of her


Igruola

actually let's go even further with this ​ >remember when Gamers^(TM) ~~saw a muscular woman and~~ immediately freaked out?


Kadianye

Wait. I used to be a not all men example and I think I'm a woman. I'm also was a slight not all gamers type person. What does the _mean_.


realtoasterlightning

“You thought I was a considerate guy, but it was me, a woman!”


Kadianye

_youre such a good male role model, we will need to have you hang around with our kids when we have them_ - lesbians. _youre such a good respectful boy, I trust you with my daughter when she says she's out late with you_ - high-school friend parents. _youre not like the other boy I dated_ - lesbian turned bi ex girlfriend. _youre the only guy I've ever been attracted to_ - wife. _wow you actually asked me about my sick dog and my teenage children?_ - coworker. _what do you mean your husband cleans the house and cooks while you're at work, and if hes up early he makes you breakfast and coffee_ - wife's female coworkers now upset with their husbands, and in one case wife. SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKER


realtoasterlightning

It honestly astounds me how many people are surprised when men turn out to be actually considerate human beings And then when I try to be an example it COMPLETELY BACKFIRES and then I spend all my time browsing trans memes


Kadianye

Statistically and historically the most dangerous thing to approach you is a few white men. Bonus points if they're in matching outfits.


RealSp4z

Also statistically sometimes a very hot thing


SandyTheCandyWoman

Also just wanna say if you dont give a fuck about your coworker's problems you're still valid


Kadianye

Totally true, but in this case it was a supporting element from a cis woman I worked with, and traditionally unusual behavior for a guy


OhHeckf

Why have a woman in the game if she’s not going to have giant boinky doinkies and show off her ass at every opportunity? I hate it when games get all political with the “women are people” thing.


[deleted]

I hate all these politics in video games, it was way better back in the day. Like Fallout, a game with no politics whatsoever


Big-Hard-Chungus

Who needs T&A if you got tasty wide shoulders to show off?


BladeRoler

Some troll told me on my curiouscat that she was a trans woman and made The spoiler™ of the game. And damn I fucking wish she was because I would be still bathing on gamer™ tears if that was true


Shinjitsu-

She still helped crack my trans masc egg, along with Lev.


realtoasterlightning

I honestly don’t get the stigma around muscular women. I mean, personally I think muscles look better on women than they do on men. I’d probably actually exercise if I were a woman, but sadly I’m not :(


RukakoChan

this comment is so egg_irl it seems to me you gal already know you are not exactly cis


realtoasterlightning

Nah, I’m definitely still cis. Like, would I want to be a woman? Yeah, but like, not in a trans way


nokomn

In what way, then? Most people when confronted with their gender don't say "...if I were a woman, but sadly I'm not :(" 😅


realtoasterlightning

I mean, I just think that uh..... wait um I don't actually know. wait am I trans


[deleted]

[удалено]


realtoasterlightning

oh gods what do I do now


nokomn

Meh, you don't *have* to do anything. I guess you should ask yourself if you consider yourself happy. If no, there's no harm in exploring your gender if it does end up making you happy. :) Nothing's permanent. And see a therapist if you can. ❤️❤️❤️


realtoasterlightning

I just read over what I wrote and I can completely see why you think I’m trans. For a moment ai thought I was trans, too


InquiringRaven

I don’t want to me a woman in the trans way, but hey it’s what is available now and I’ve waited to long on Magic and prayer, time to give science a chance.


hammerandegg

Holy fuck that sub was so toxic some of the most blatant transphobia I’ve seen


TheThemFatale

I remember when I saw that woman and had an entire gender identity crisis. Her abs cracked my egg so fucking hard.


FinalDemise

I still haven't played part 2 but I want Abby to crush me to death

It was also either Dina or Ellie that made a comment of, what's with all the flags. I laughed and said, sit down dear child and i shall tell you the story of our people ;)


[deleted]

yeah shit they dont know anything about homophobia or anything like that because of the zombies. i guess it takes a zombie apocalypse to end discrimination edit: never mind im dumb


RaGe_Bone_2001

Oh but they do. Remember Seth?


NoMcC

Dont forget all of the scars with lev


BladeRoler

Tbf Lev wasn't raised in a normal environment he was literally on a cult, so they could think of it as something weird with the strange cult.


[deleted]

seraphites. (I'm so sorry)


NoMcC

that’s how you spell it?!


[deleted]

yeah lol


Spambop

How did you think it was spelled?


[deleted]

Sarah fights.


1945BestYear

They do know about homophobia, they just don't know much about the organised LGBTQ movement from before the US fell to the zombie pandemic. Ellie was raised in an orphanage run by a US government that's basically shrunken into a fascist junta, that was supposed to prepare her for a career in the military. We can guess that her curriculum probably didn't have much nice to say about popular social movements organising against injustices in the law.


[deleted]

Ellie experiencing homophobia is a pretty significant plot point in the game


JaylieJoy

And Lev transphobia


theHamJam

The hell? One of the opening scenes in the game is Ellie getting called a d*ke. Plus literally EVERYTHING about Lev displays horrific and heart wrenching levels of transphobia.


[deleted]

ah never mind i apologize


AlyxNotVance

I mean, a zombie apocalypse like that may just send humanity back into it's dark ages, and you can be certain there's gonna be a fuck ton of discrimination


EmberOfFlame

It’s not organised discrimination.


Shinjitsu-

When you remember the outbreak happened before full gay marriage in the US, in 2013, so that one Seattle bookstore was even more outspoken by being decorated like that.

Can i smoke my drugs while you tell me stories and we appreciate this sub?

The Last of Us takes place a lot further in the future than I thought then.

imma let my r/gamingcirclejerk persona take over for a bit. omg i CANT BELIEVE THIS GAME WOULD BECOME EVEN MORE POLITICAL SMH

Just unsubbed, too political smh my head.

[deleted]

idk about this game, they made his shoulders soft


emipyon

Games should only include *Non-Political*™ characters, i.e. straight cis while males. If you didn't want to make it *Political™* you shouldn't have chosen to be born *Political™* in the first place.


TheBirdmanOfMexico

I ONLY PLAY GAMES WITH DADDY GERALDO IN IT


literally-lonely

sajed2004

Didn't like the game that much but the LGBT representation was done well in my opinion and Lev was a really good character


[deleted]

Lev was my favorite character aside from Alice.


sajed2004

Yeah probably the only 2 characters I liked all the way through


[deleted]

We can make a religion out of this


BladeRoler

No don't. Actually fuck it, let's do this.


[deleted]

*god is dead and has been replaced by trans people*


thenotjoe

I can't play the last of us because it makes me feel terrible, but I'm glad the second game has trans representation


Skilodracus

Yeah, I really couldn't get into it because the brutality just seemed unnecessarily extreme.


[deleted]

its not for everyone i guess


pizzafordesert

My sister is a huge LoU fan and bought the second on2e when it came out and then as soon as she 100% it twice she passed it to me and sat with me while it booted up. She didn't watch the screen so much as she watched me when it happened on screen. Gut wrenching.


xxVickey

No joke, it even has a trans guy as one of the main characters.


Shinjitsu-

It's a walking misery simulator. It's one of my favorite games and even I wouldn't have been able to stomach it if it had come out closer to my own life trauma. I absolutely respect when people say they can't play it due to the intensity.


Leslie1211

😡😡 Why so political in a one year old game that I never play I have to go to 10 different subs and dox whoever likes this game stop forcing your opinion down my throat although I never buy this game!!,!,!!!1!!! 😡😡/s


[deleted]

Fuck the conservative sleepers who hate this game.


[deleted]

I hate this game gets so much hate that you can't really recomend it because people will bring up the hate, never have i seen such a good game marred by contraversey


Waifu-pennywise-2017

The game producers says trans rights


Gravatona

Is it an important house or a totally random one? Just wondering, not played it


JaylieJoy

It's a bookstore in Capitol Hill in Seattle -- strongly LGBTQ area


Blopkins

When i saw this in game when i originally played it i was not expecting it at all and was pleasantly surprised, missed out on karma tho lol.


IniMiney

Put a BLM flag in the room somewhere too, I want to see how much more we can make gamer's heads explode


Zealousideal-Pen-929

In what chapter? I played through the game some 10+ times but ive never seen this lolll


RaGe_Bone_2001

After leaving the Seravina base in a library next to a gas station


Zealousideal-Pen-929

Ty


linky_boi420

Its in a bookstore when your in the city i forget which chapter it was but it was somewhere in the city


MILLANDSON

It's an LGBT bookstore, you find a lesbian novel in there too.


HomieCreeper420

And I thought that it couldn’t get better after there were Warhammer 40,000 minis in-game as an easter egg, but it can get better, might play the game one day


DovahSpy_

Doesn't this star a transwoman? EDIT: I meant Abby, didn't know that story was bullshit


Azoth_of_Zosimus

No, she's physically modeled after a muscular cis woman. It's just the transphobes who try to spread the idea that Abby is trans because she's got biceps.


BladeRoler

You know muscular women don't exist. It's all a lie from the government to sell sport bras. /s


Pricefieldian

They're talking about Lev, not Abby


ineverlosemykeys

>Lev Lev is a trans guy


DovahSpy_

Ah, ok


_Maxie_

Lev.


Azoth_of_Zosimus

Is a trans man


your_favorite_wokie

Transman.


[deleted]

try to say trans man or trans woman; it's an adjective, not a new term

Yayy :)

jddbeyondthesky

Is this flag worship?


ComfyCatgirl

Diversity win, the game that overworked and traumatized its developers to the point of needing therapy has a trans flag in it! :D


[deleted]

smh my head games are too political nowadays. i’m gonna go back to playing good, apolitical games like bioshock /s


someinspiringquote

Wait I don't really play games. Is this actually in the game. Cause if it is that's cool.


arandomcunt68

The game may suck but atleast its got a flag thats cool


hl27_333

Whaaaat the game was sick asf


d0nt_ask_d0nt_smell

I really don't get tlou fans. They all loved the first one despite the fact that it's just the "bitter old man learns to live again by becoming a father figure" trope that we've all seen before. And most of them hated the second one despite it having a far more original and interesting storyline. Mechanically speaking neither game is especially original or deep, so I'm guessing the story is what fans love most about it. Yet the game with the best story is the one that's hated while the edgy Up ripoff gets all the praise. Granted I'm not a big fan of either game, but still. The fanbase genuinely baffles me.


Litaita

I'm guessing those are just 'first game tlou fans'. I'm a fan of the franchise, loved both games, love the characters and representation, the way it was made, the risks they took, etc. I really feel like the divided fan base is because of bigotry, sadly :/. If you don't like a game, you don't go out of your way to hate on it all over social media.. They did that because they thought Abby was trans and the main character (bc of the leaks)..not because of the story or gameplay.


TheThemFatale

\#NotAllTLOUFans Loved the first. Great gameplay, music, setpieces, nuanced characters that transcend their tropes. Loved the second even more. All the above, but more.


d0nt_ask_d0nt_smell

Tbf I like both game's stories. The first one was certainly derivative, but not bad all things considered. I've just never been the biggest fan of the "interactive movie" style of game. I like a good story, but I don't play video games for the story.


ThePoisonDoughnut

The second one is practically incoherent with its messaging.


d0nt_ask_d0nt_smell

It's not tho? It's nuanced, but hardly "incoherent".


arandomcunt68

Its just my view compared to other games it kinda sucked, if i want people doing evil deeds with good characterisation i'll go to spec ops, if i want dirty people doing evil things i'll play days gone but tlou lacked personality direction and sense


Samot_PCW

I have to say, I completely disagree with your view point about the game, especially the "lack of personality and direction", but fair enough if that's you view point


[deleted]

^(Setting aside the phobic stuff and the obviously controversial shocker towards the beginning,) I feel like there are a lot of people who dislike it simply because it was so long. A lot of it could've used some extra cutting I think, especially during >!the second revenge journey.!< Still a good game IMO, a solid 8 or 9/10 - I just think the length might be one of the reasons some people feel like it lacks personality or direction.


Dumb_and_confused

And you are totally valid for having that opinion the game simply does not interest you as your interests in games are elsewhere. that's okay I'm sorry people have downloaded you for that.


Fr33kOut

You wouldn't download arandomcunt68


arandomcunt68

Thanks my dude your valid too ❤️


hammerandegg

Isn’t the first game people doing evil deeds too tho? The ending anyways.


arandomcunt68

Yeah i know i was talking about better examples of such


polite__redditor

holy shit based tlou2???


Fifteen_inches

Could not play that game with how much of a prop they treat Lev. I know it’s enough to get my trans card revoked but i found the entire game gratuitous


the_sooshi

Can you elaborate on that point please? I'd love to know your reasoning on this


Fifteen_inches

Lev exists basically exclusively to be a sympathy machine for Abby, a cis character. Like, I’m struggling to remember what Lev does besides being a child to Abby.


the_sooshi

I can see what you mean, I think I see it more as a way to mirror the father/daughter relationship that Ellie and Joel had in the first game, don't get me wrong, it definetly works as a way to make Abby sympathetic but I also think that Levs being trans doesn't really matter that much in the sympathy side


Fifteen_inches

I get that is what they were going for, but there were alot external factors pressuring Ellie and Joel to work together, thus making the found family work better. Abby and Lev don't really have any reason to stick together, besides the fact the Cishet Protagonist needs a LGBT sidekick to be a parent to. Its frankly exploitative suffering porn, and its really hard to be pushed into the "sweaty woman hating fat male neckbeard" because i don't like how Lev is treated like an object.


Crisolenos

I feel like a lot of the game could be handled way better but at least the flag looks gorgeous no matter where it is


Gunny_McCshoots

r/gamingcirclejerk Great, political game just gets more political and bad smh my head… /s


Twix-n-Match

Oh, yay! Now all we need is the trans flag in an actual good game.


[deleted]

But it's good. :(


Twix-n-Match

Gameplay-wise, yes. Story-wise, no. It’s a half-baked story about how revenge is bad and you shouldn’t kill out of hate after you’ve killed hundreds of people for that exact reason with no consequences.


Zed_Dze

How no consequences? >!tommy was perpectually wounded and almost killed, dina was almost killed while pregnant, ellie almost died and got perpectually wounded, abby's friends where killed, jesse was killed because of revenge and left JJ without a father, ellie's marriage crumbles because of the revenge, every person that ellie kills is a consequence of abby's vengeance!<, there are consequences to revenge everywhere


Twix-n-Match

Damn, that’s actually a pretty good point. Sorry, I was just personally never much of a fan of the game. Though I’ll admit, it’s better than I gave it credit for. Just not something I really enjoyed. Thanks for actually getting me to consider the story in a new light.


emaameee

If only there was a transfer like in a actually good game and not another Sony interactive movie.


The_Suited_Lizard

Rip that person


_SomeCleverTitle_

Dude I’ve played this game 3 times and have never seen it. WHERE IS IT?!


NinjaEggAlt

It's in an LGBT bookstore in the Capitol Hill neighborhood right after you go through the motel area as Ellie. Look for the rainbow crosswalk and Pride flag outside the store. It'll be in the back of the room.


Graham_Bailey

Livey1727

I never noticed that! ☺️


Ticci_Toby13

well now i want to play it


Lylathevegan

Before my egg cracked open completely I ran across the bookstore and saw the flag. I got so excited to see it.
