Neil Druckmann has been getting transphobic, homophobic, anti-Semitic messages [fake spoilers in tweets]
- Thread starter Loudninja
- Start date
I wonder how this will affect Neil or even the actors going forward?
We might not be getting games like these ever again.

"yeah, but it's his fault people are sending him and Laura Bailey death threats because the script was bad"
The fact people are actually trying to blame Neil for the horrible actions of people makes me want to puke, and I hate everytime era goes "but crunch though" to diminish
this shit.

There are spoilers in those terrible tweets by the way.
I can't believe people can spew such vitriol.

It's absolutely disgusting that people would even think about writing these things. Like it's nuts that they'd even consider typing this type of vitriol out, let along sending it.
For context.
This has been happening for months now. And practically every ND developer of some social media, actors involved, etc has been subject to the hate campaign.

EOD all that matters to publishers is revenue.
And The Last of Us Part II is making a lot of money.

Just want to say I find it incredibly satisfying on a personal level to see one of the biggest games of the year was directed by a Jewish person and features a Jewish character represented well and prominently
The scene with Dina in the Synagogue got to me
No this won't stop people from creating games with gay or trans characters in them. This isn't the first piece of media to be attacked by shit heads on the internet.
I really don't understand it...why can't people be like "I hate it", discuss why they hate it, and respect the phenomenal work the devs did despite disliking it. Like why is that so hard for these individuals lmao
Makes me glad the OT and Spoiler thread for this game in Era exist because of how lvl headed everyone is.

That doesn't make any difference. People on Twitter use their own name and profile all the time and are just as bad as this. That whole Penny Arcade idea of this just being the result of anonymity is outdated by years
All of the representation in the game is incredible. Neil has helped let so many people of different groups get to connect to characters.
And Microsoft, and Valve. These people should not be allowed into online communities until they reform.
I don't think that's the problem. Facebook has that type of shit too.
Sad part is that it will continue well until after the next Neil directed game launches.
I really insulated myself from the incel criticism of this game.
It was not until recently did I start poking around on twitter and seeing how many angry dudes trashing the game. Claiming that nobody is enjoying it, sales are bad, story is terrible, etc.

How do we officially request/petition for these asshats to be deplatformed here on era? Is there some official process?
Like do these people even care about the game anymore or are they just latching on like mindless baboons for the next upset? Not liking the story is no excuse for this kind of behaviour.
Yup. Platform holders and pubs need to make a stand, band together and finally purge these people.
Shit has been going on for way too long.
I don't get it. I mean gaming is a major hobby of mine, but I just can't fathom being that angry about a video game. And needing to express that anger in that way.
