Please don't praise this weak attempt at representation. touting something like this as a win in a decade spanning 23 film franchise that has shaped modern cinema is just so insulting. Its one of the Russos playing the role of a gay easter egg ffs
The LGBT are the cryptids of blockbuster cinema. Lots of articles on how they exist, no really they do! My grandad saw one in Iron Man in '08. If you just look hard enough you too might be lucky enough to see a long armed blurry gay run past the camera
Oh no this is so wrong and I’m coming at you as a classic TR fan. Its real disingenuous to re-frame what the Lara Craze of the 90s was all about. It was marketing to men by way of the male gaze. That much is true no matter what Lara meant to you personally
Often times when the original Lara Croft comes up in discussion, people are quick to say that she was created for the "male gaze." I'm making this thread to clear the air on this misunderstanding, which mostly comes from those who didn't play the games tbh 1/?
Pride events in games would just be another example of the capitalist appropriation of Gay Pride. Hollow superficial use of Pride motifs to distract from the complete lack of LGBT+ characters and narratives in the medium
Millions of people celebrate Pride every year, so why don’t we observe it in our favorite games?
@Hunter_Wolfe
makes a case for why we should see Pride celebrated alongside other seasonal events for Easter, Christmas, and Valentine’s Day.
Since we are talking accessibility in games as it pertains to subtitles/font size I'd like to recommend Can I Play That dot com. An accessibility review site for by and for disabled gamers that lists the accessibility options available for games as well as their pros and cons
Oh. my. god
"Nowadays there are lots of games for women. These include Barbie Race and Ride, Final Fantasy 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 10 2, and all puzzle games"

Who is TLOU2 for exactly?? I've heard that Ellie gets spat on and called a dyke, and now this on top of all the brutality. Like at this stage its just a carnival of misery directed specifically at the LGBTQ?
“Representation is really important,” Joe Russo told Deadline
what a disingenuous coward. all of this is marketing spin and once we accept it as enough or worse let the straights accept it as enough for us we've lost. LGBT+ representation is important and we don't have it

@Hbomberguy
her face was slightly obscured by Lesbian A so I didn't feel I got to connect with her character in the same way. hopefully the comics will fix that later on
“That relationship to me is a far deeper one than a romantic one,”
how come this excuse is only trotted out to when its about specifically LGBT love in mainstream media
Why do we get articles like this where studio heads glorify crunch before big tentpole releases. acting like its a stamp of quality instead of what it really is, a failure of project management that decimates the physical and mental health of their employees
Rockstar has been “working 100-hour weeks” on Red Dead Redemption 2
Studio co-founder Dan Houser details the effort put into the upcoming Wild West epic
The people in the comments of this have no idea just how few examples of lesbians there are in main stream media, let alone main characters and think they are being real clever with their thinly veiled homophobia. "why does it matter" it matters because she is a lesbian. die mad
Why would you change a perfectly good animation??? Would you like Kratos to do a little spin first? He got in the boat. Job done. Now Animation can focus on the many new animations they have to do.
The emotional whiplash of being online is a lot. Here's a fun meme. Here's a horrible atrocity. Here's a new track for my shipping playlist. I joke but I feel like im going insane
all the LFAB hype was too much for even me so i retired to my fainting couch to get high for two days. today im ready to say; its good to be back and I missed fighting with my friends over video games, thanks for all the love ❤️
I can't get over the number of cyberpunk apologist freaks that are like "heh, you expected a video game to run well and look good on the console it was released for... idiot"
wHaT abOuT pRooF of sTake 🤪 well first, "green" Capitalism is an oxymoron so jot that one down.
Second, PoS COULD mean less wasted energy IF it's widely adopted. Less waste isn't "green"
My relationship to the Queen was primarily hearing pals in Scotland and Ireland describe which wrestling finishers they'd like to perform on her and I extend my deepest condolences to them specifically that they never got the opportunity.
Right now TLOU2 looks like it's about a bunch of LGBTQ people brutalising each other. You know, the LGBTQ community, who famously don't understand the concept of community and found families in response to a hostile world
This is what Spiderman should be. I'm cautiously optimistic for Miles but insomniac were on some real cop loving BS with Peter that I wouldn't be surprised if they made Miles hug a cop
