So to set the stage: I am very familiar with the game, The Last of Us. It's great, if you have a PS4 or PS5, definitely play it.
The director for the game is a guy named Neil Druckman. He's a woke asshat to the Nth degree.
Mild spoilers for the games and show follow. Fair warning.
So the game revolves around the relationship between a man and a 14 year-old girl, as they go across the country in search of a cure for the zombie apocalypse. Now the first game, The Last of Us, has some mild wokeness, but it's not too severe. For instance one character, Bill, we learn is gay, but we never see him 'act' on it, and it's really only mentioned in passing, lasts about 5 mins in game.
But the sequel, The Last of Us 2, is where Druckman goes apeshit with the wokeness. First, the 14 year old girl in the first game, becomes a raging lesbian in the second game, even though she was shown enjoying looking at pics of naked guys in the first game. And the villain of the second game is a girl who is of course also a lesbian, but she is VERY muscular and is shown having a body that makes her look more like a man than a woman.
Needless to say, fans of the first game claimed Druckman ruined the second game, and he went on Twitter and mocked them and said he'd have more 'gayness' in the next game just to piss them off.
So back to the series. I started watching it a couple of nights ago. First two episodes weren't that bad at all. And I was expecting it to be much more violent than it was. And knew eventually Druckman would screw something up with woke bullshit. In the first episode, the main character (a white man)'s white daughter from the game has been changed into what appears to be a biracial girl. Ok a bit cringe, but if he doesn't get any worse I'll be ok with it.
Then comes the third episode. Above I mentioned the character Bill, who was only identified as being gay in passing in the game. Well in the series, Bill's gayness is thrown in your face and he whips out his salami and beats you in the face with it.
So sad. Could have been a fun watch, but wokeness ruined in.
