I have the blessing of miss-madam-404, so prepare for battle. In the Free! fandom, sorta. You aren’t getting rid of me that easily.

I know he is an asshole, and think he is entitled to hate women because he is a csa victim, but please don’t send him death threats. Please block him if you have a problem with him.
the word your looking for is lesbophobia
It wouldn’t let me type it, but my point still stands.
I’m literally counting the seconds until this beautiful show comes back because the hype is so unreal
Finally we have a trailer from season three, Free! Dive to the future
Watch it here: https://youtu.be/avfD_1KZc90
Ayeeeee! Thank you for all following me! I love you guys!

The people who say shit like this probably haven’t played many games. Because the option to play as a female character has been there for decades. It’s not uncommon in the slightest.
And the inverse, the people who say all gamers hate female characters have probably never played games or met gamers either.
Boon Cotter works at Naughty Dog, who is releasing the newest The Last of Us.
People have issues with the marketing. And as a lesbian, so do I. Because something like a third of the trailer is dedicated to Ellie awkwardly flirting with, then kissing, another girl. Which is likely a minor or irrelevant aspect to the entire game, rather than an overarching plot.
And people are upset that the game is now starring Ellie and not Joel, who was a fan favorite.
They’re using social justice to shield themselves from criticism. They’re using the fact that Ellie’s a lesbian to hide from anything anyone says about their game they don’t like.
It’s such a blatant fucking misrepresentation because people are fucking hyped for Beyond Good and Evil 2, which has a female protagonist. And people seemed interested in Sea of Solitude, which stars a girl.
These fucking cancerous people need to be excised from the industry. I’m so sick of these ideologues shitting on gamers and trying to push the “gamerbro” label on people.
Fuck off, Boon Cotter. And I’ll go as far as to say fuck Naughty Dog too.
It actually has a lot more ties, as fans have been digging. Ellie has an inert, but still transmittable form of cordyceps, and cordyceps in the The Last of Us universe can be transmitted by saliva. Reasonably so, it seems there’s more to it than just gaining brownie points, which wouldn’t do much either. Naughty Dog is possibly planning something deeper i.e. Ellie possibly infects the town, fireflies are cultists, as Ellie says “she’ll kill them all.” Basing something like that off of a 2 minute cutscene is odd.
They really arent using that. Most peoples criticisms are either blatant bigotry or not understanding what a trailer is.
Have you forgotten about the whole gamerbro fits caused over Battlefield V? Or people saying Ellie can’t fight in TLOU, etc. There has been a lot of that toxic attitude spreading.
Okay, I want you to go on the tweet Boon put up himself. There are toooons of gamerbro replies. That, itself, is only a fragment of the comments on YT, /v/ etc. Ignoring that toxicity has led to movements like GamerGate, allowing it to build up without challenge.
1. That has absolutely no bearing on her showing the romance scene because if this was the case, they be able to show it within the game’s opening moments. They did not need to dedicate as much time as they did to romance as they did in the trailer. If this was a heterosexual couple under the same premise, it would’ve been just as stupid.
2. Incorrect. I’ve seen plenty of actual criticism because showing so much romance is a red flag for a trailer, as there should be other things a trailer should be showing. The fact that people can’t criticize this without being called bigots kinda proves the point.
3. It is not ‘gamerbro’ to call out a blatant historical untruth, which is what Battlefield V’s situation was. I agree with the criticism. Disabled women were not on the front line of WW2 as snipers.
4. Gamergate was not a toxic movement. I was part of Gamergate. It was about ethics in gaming. Quit attempting to create this ‘gamerbro’ narrative that has been spun out in the last few months and stop using it to erase everyone who is not a straight, white, cis man from the criticisms of these games and gaming as a whole.
Apparently even game developers have femnesia these days
Ok so yesterday my friend told me I had a “straight aura” to me. I came out to her as bi a few months ago and she really supported me in that and I really appreciated it. But now she’s convinced I’m actually straight.
A few weeks ago I went to a Pride Club Meeting for the first time. I’d just gotten the guts to do it. I introduced myself a bisexual. Later in the meeting I was called “another questioning lesbian”.
Stop discrediting bisexuals. Stop telling us we’re straights looking for attention or gays to unsure to come out “completely”. Stop telling me I’m wrong about my own sexuality, when it has taken me years to become comfortable with it and accept it.
FUCKING HELL
