There are other tells that some of you might PM me about and I'll tell you.
Here's a dude released a video about this propaganda.
There's nothing woke about the second game. A trans character exists and is central to the story being told. It doesn't steer you to be pro trans, or anti anything. It's a great story.
And to bitch about Pedro playing Joel is stupid. Look at side by sides from him as Joel in the game. He is pretty damn spot on for the look. [Reply]

Pretty much. Is a girl, doesn't want to be forced into a girl's role in their version of a post apocalyptic society, cuts off her hair and changed to a boy's name. It never says trans but is highly implied. [Reply]
They are filming part of this in Kansas City right now. Parts of 435 were shut down yesterday for it. I have been trying to find out the casting situation around here. If I could be find a way to be an extra or a background zombie for this it would be awesome. One of my favorite video game series ever. [Reply]
