r/gaming • 4 yr. ago garnak123 SPOILER The Last of Us 2 VS Terminator Dark Fate Comparing. (Spoilers Discussion) םו Hi, i am just curious and i want to see what you guys think about this but is not the last of us 2 very similar to terminator dark fate? i haven't play the game just yet, and i really enjoy the first one. But what do you guys think about this 2 aren't they similar?? They both start by killing their protagonist. John Connor and Joel. This is the starting point but what others things they have in common? like i said i haven't play it and this is just my opinion but i did not like the way how they implemented his or their death. If we sit to compare them what others things do those two have in common?

What Happened Behind the Scenes

Less feminine = Trans friendly

Naughty Dog made female characters less feminine to be trans friendly New screenshots reveal that all the female characters in The Last of Us Part II have been made to look more androgynous allegedly to not offend trans women. "The team is very much divided on the game, and even voicing your concerns on its story will upset certain individuals; it usually results in said person being called closed- minded or even phobic, or some such nonsense. Some people literally have to bite their tongues or fear losing their jobs, even careers, to an outrage mob." Our source also alleged that the high turnover in staff is because of the reasons mentioned above. "What's really sad is that nobody is allowed to talk about any of this. Many employees have left Naughty Dog because in-house politics and they are under a strict NDA and absolutely cannot discuss the studio's 'productions practices' secrets. Oops!"
