It is hard to parse if those people are just mysoginist or can't seperate the character from the actor. Both are not a good look obviously.

Jesus christ!I appreciate that he's defending the folks who worked with him on the game, but my God is this guy far up his own ass.
The fact that the 4+ people in this very thread are dismissing death threats to victims to further attack said victims and still haven't been banned yet kinda says it all really. Hope those making the death threats get outed.

I'm sorry if I came off abrasively.
TLoU2 threads have just been really hard to read on here lately. Or anywhere really.
Keeping the good fight I see.
Yeah but the game is too longEvery single one of you attempting to derail this thread are pathetic. Absolutely pathetic. Do you have no shame? No self-respect?
Of course not.
I really feel like the entire industry has been ignoring the months-long harassment the people involved in TLOU2 have been getting. Barely a peep of support or coverage from anyone, either Sony themselves, other publishers, or video game journos. No action taken at all. Why isn't anyone up in arms?
The industry should be galvanizing to make an effort to put an end to this shit. Somebody has to start pushing Twitter to curb this behavior, in gaming and elsewhere. Force Twitter/Facebook to reveal these garbage-people's identities and hit them with the full fucking extent of the law. These are direct threats. Closing their accounts isn't enough. No protections whatsoever for these scumbags. Because this shit is starting to feel commonplace. Sony should be making moves to protect their employees and contractors from either psychological or physical harm.
Like I literally don't understand how this is allowed to slide. It's just a thing that happens and we should all just be okay with it?
Era mods doing jack with the Druckman shit just makes me not wanna use this site anymore,The fact that the 4+ people in this very thread are dismissing death threats to victims to further attack said victims and still haven't been banned yet kinda says it all really.

This isn't even a gamer thing, it's a fandom thing. Plenty of actors on The Walking Dead series have received death threats. Actor Josh McDermitt received death threats because his character "betrayed the group by pledging loyalty to Negan". Sarah Wayne Callies was called all sorts of awful things because her character Lori caused the conflict between Rick and Shane. And if you think this is exclusively an male incel thing, Grant Gustin (The Flash on CW) received countless death threats because fans were concerned that his character was going to create a wedge between two other characters. Just type in 'celebrity death threats' on Google and you will find plenty of other examples.These gamers are clearly on the extreme end of stupidity and/or children, if they are blaming the voice actors for the story's plot.

You walked into a thread about someone who's been receiving death threats for literally no good reason and you find a way to make it about someone else who has also been receiving death threats(much more than her) AND anti-semitic insults added to it who has been doing from the beginning what you said he wasn't. What did you expect?
Yep.The fact that the 4+ people in this very thread are dismissing death threats to victims to further attack said victims and still haven't been banned yet kinda says it all really. Hope those making the death threats get outed.
Tell me about it. Imagine attacking someone who has already received multiple death threats in a thread about someone else receiving death threats. These people should be perma-banned.Era mods doing jack with the Druckman shit just makes me not wanna use this site anymore,
Don't think I've seen such a reaction to a piece of media since The Last Jedi
We literally have threads that have become ground zero for shittalking Neil, and the threads sometimes aren't even about Neil or ND. It's unacceptable.Era mods doing jack with the Druckman shit just makes me not wanna use this site anymore,
It's 100% the same anti-SJW, PC culture types that rush Youtube for their Angry Joes who just yelling back what they already believe. This is just a carbon copy repeat of The Last Jedi.Don't think I've seen such a reaction to a piece of media since The Last Jedi. I bet it's the same man-children who are throwing their toys out of the pram too.
This is the exact kind of thing that Xbox Milgrau did. Harassing women, attacking POC and LGBT+ people.People like Angry Joe enable these people, and that pisses me off.
I actually can't believe that people in James Gunn's tweets are going "Actors don't deserve this. But writers tho...."
Actually, what the fuck am I saying. Of course I can believe it. People are fucking garbage

It's sad that this game asks the player to try out a bit of empathy and in turn the developers get death threats. Asking more emotional maturity was too much for some people.Like I said in other threads, I've found that it's a lack of emotional maturity that is at the core of the toxic reaction the TLOU2.
