My experience with this game is personally extremely limited. I was never going to play it, because I'm not buying another console, especially not from woke-ass Sony. The leaks only added hilarity to how badly the game's plot was going to be, and because I don't want to spend 20+ hours watching boring footage of another one of Naughty Dog's interactive movies, I've avoided any let's plays.

But, man, every time I do catch some footage or an analysis of the plot, it only further supports my decision to divorce myself from this game.

Druckmann has clearly forgotten that the setting takes place in a post-apocalypse, or rather conveniently ignored as such when it would interfere with injecting his left-leaning perspective into the story. Jackson is an amazingly diverse local, despite being in Wyoming, which according to census data is whiter than a WASPy Christmas in Aspen. Attitudes towards 'alternative sexuality' are pretty "woke" considering the game takes place 20 years after a societal collapse, where more traditional male and female roles would most assuredly become the norm again. Most laughably exemplified with Mel being cleared for field duty despite being heavily-pregnant, plus the whole 'ultra-religious murder cult is progressive enough to sacrifice healthy potential childbearers as foot soldiers, but regressive enough to want to murder a transgendered kid'; if you're going to feature religious nutjob cultists then just go full tilt, and show them practicing the 'evils' of having women fulfill traditionalist roles as wives, child rearers, and homemakers. Throw in Abby's PED-grade physique and every straight male getting fucked over in some fashion, and you have yet another woke circus of a narrative with an Anita stamp of approval.

Also, on a lighter note, I kinda felt the 4 rounds from a revolver sin was a bit of a reach; it's a resource-scarce post-apocalypse, and the gun in in the hands of a member of a militant Luddite cult. She probably was only to scavenge so many rounds, or even fired one or two off prior to the attempted ritualistic execution of Abby.
