To be fair, the true nature of the vengeance quest leaked, some of us have just been avoiding it. And there are homo/transphobe enemies, they just happen to also be the enemies of Ellie's enemies

Honestly, as a side note and as a person who doesn't really think he's in the right headspace for this game atm, the "they have NAAAAAAMES!" thing honestly sounds kinda artificial in dramatic terms?

Like conversely the easiest way to make you feel okay about killing mooks is making them unnaturally fearless (if they don't care about their lives why should I)
