So I think just, maybe be more mindful of that in the larger context of the discourse around the game. There were a lot of people who worked on this game, including Halley Gross who co-created the story.
People can be upset that it wasn't the story they want, and I think that's really fair. I don't have any criticism on that, as that's personal taste. But I think it's really difficult to deny that it was very well done.

The orientation of the characters has nothing to do with my argument. As the main producer of the series, if he didn't instigate this type of plot, he has full responsibility for it. If you can't make argument because it is somehow off limits since others are leveraging it for discrimination and bigotry then that is an even bigger travesty. There are plenty of people who dislike the game who have no hateful inclinations whatsoever to specific groups of people. Only to Druckmann as a storyteller. I honestly think he saw the great reaction to the twist of Joel killing the doctors and decided to make a whole game made of moments like Joel killing the doctors.
