Yeah like—if you're going to write trash then just write trash. If you need for all men to be gone to write your story, just say that somebody unleashed something Lovecraftian into the world and the souls of men were reaped

Causal reminder that this was the initial pitch for The Last of Us, that the fungus only turned women into zombies and Ellie was special because her womb was the future of the human race

They changed it because every single woman who heard the idea got upset about it The complaints focusing on the fact that "This is just a setting about men killing women, even if the women are zombies" But wow what a terrible premise

Not only that, but the only reason one deserves to survive was her womb? That's sick.

I mean it's not the ONLY reason The point was that men are completely safe from becoming zombies but the plague means the human race will die out in one generation (a la Cuarón's Children of Men) unless they can find a cure So Ellie represents hope

Well yes obviously she cannot personally repopulate the planet It was probably already planned to have the ending it does in the final version (they hope to use her to make a cure but this requires killing her)

For the record the game in its final form does not have a gender-specific plague and its imaginary future is almost unrealistically gender-egalitarian But it's really weird looking at it thinking this was the idea it started from and they took it seriously for a while

They tried to rectify this in the sequel Which itself is kind of distracting, like the analogue of a fundamentalist Christian cult has no problem at all with women as leaders and soldiers

The Fantasy Evil Religion being way more gender egalitarian than the rl one they're clearly referencing is a common trope But it's still distracting to see it laid out so starkly
