      but also Last of Us 1/2 is specifically trying to SAY something about humanity and internal identity, it's teeing itself up to be of a higher quality & standard than the game where you press X to fuck in a potato suit with a severed head flashlight

      Also like, importantly, there's never an assumption Kratos is supposed to be a good person. These communities seem to very much want their protagonists to be Aspirational Good People.

      Like that's the gist of it; it is a moralistic criticism, bc these communities think Media Should Be Moral, they think violent shlock is Bad For Society and Should Not Be Encouraged.

      You're saving "why can't I have my Bad People Doing Bad Things Who Are Gay" and the answer is "Because it's Bad People and We Think Media Glamorizes Bad People Too Much."

      You're in stark disagreement with the basic premise because *you want what they think is something media should have less of period, queer or cishet*

      Now there's a whole bunch of questionable assumptions in this perspective! It's an assumption that Violent Media Makes Violent People, that Media Consumption is a direct 1:1 with real harm, and that our systems of oppression come from generic "violence" or mental health issues!

      (As opposed to "most exploitation and violence comes because of scarcity, tribalism, and personal benefit. This is the dirty secret of the Uwu crowd; the redemptive media they want rarely portrays any risks or costs or loss as a result of said Gentler World.)

      It's the same argument as "we need to ~transform the way we interact with each other~" which is basically a nonsense buzzword said in place of concrete plans for how to deal with the portion of human beings who, by circumstance or temperament, prey upon each other.

      "~transform the way we interact with each other~" and "~provide therapy and address peoples' needs~" should be seen as the - sigh, ok, gonna say it - virtue signaling they are. They're not real statements, they're ideological shibboleths.

      I don't think I've ever seen anyone say "provide therapy" just "go to therapy" like it's a free car wash

      In this specific example it's "she could literally fix her problem [desire for violent revenge] by reading about cognitive behavioral therapy." It's ASSUMED no one is providing it

          oh whoa. i believe it was either polywaygone or rps (or both?) who were at the forefront of the backlash against cyberpunk 2077 last year, because it. . . is going to have trans representation? but, not the RIGHT kinda of representation -- says two cis guys. shit's fukt.

          Yeah that's ridiculous on many many many many many many MANY fucking levels for one if revenge did not viscerally feel satisfying human society would not need to tell us so loudly it doesn't!

          Revenge can be *disastrous* and socially corrosive, but like many socially corrosive things, the path that feels best in the moment is *not the good path*, it's the destructive one.

          That's SO much worse! Like honestly this just sounds like a garbage review, also I just remembered how Naughty Dog caught everyone's ire for it's crunch policy recently so I have to assume people just have their knives out for it
