I remember Critical Drinker praised this episode as not doing it for political reasons. I’m a fan of Drinker but this opinion surprised me because the showrunner literally said it was done to “make people mad” or something like that. I didn’t play the game much but I’m told that them being gay is only hinted at in the game. I was gonna play the game but then I heard the dlc forces you to be in a lesbian relationship and I hit the point a while back where I’m tired of lgbt content. Not saying it shouldn’t exist but I’m personally not interested. I do find it ridiculous how they expand on stuff that is just hinted at. The wheel of time showrunner said the same thing about lgbt characters, yet the books specically describes the main characters but he ignores that ad well as the fact Perrin has no wife on the beginning
I’ll say it, it SHOULDNT exist. My post apocalyptic zombie game should be about zombies, not normalising weird sexual fetishes that drive down birth rates and collapse demographics because it makes our society’s loudest retards happy.
If they want to make ““art”” that’s ““representative of the world around us””, it should reflect that the vast majority of normal people are straight and still line up along LONG-established gender norms.
This is why, as much as I enjoyed Days Gone, I’m glad there won’t be a sequel. It wasn’t a perfect game at all, but at least it was a simple story about a guy trying to find his wife across a wasteland. Could you imagine how horribly they’d fuck a potential sequel up with THE MESSAGE?
Is Days Gone the one that critics whines about because it “lacked diversity”? Good to hear. I’ll check it out.
You bring up a good point because with all the talk about “reflecting the modern world” you would still have a vast majority of straight characters. I’ve said for years that lgbt donors should have their own channel or streaming service to appeal to that niche market. Same with other groups. One of the dumbest strategies in entertainment was the idea that everything must appeal to everyone. This has also caused the obsession with pushing females into genres that appeal to guys
Days Gone is probably the best zombie game ever made. Accidentally coming up on a horde of zombies will scare the shit out of you.
