I mean this as respectfully as possible, but I really think you need to either get over or separate the motivations of some random group of critics of either Druckmann or TLOU2 from comments people are making on CalgaryPuck which, from my experience, have overwhelmingly been completely devoid of anything to do with anti-semitism, incels, homophobia, etc.

I get it, it was hurtful specifically to read reviews elsewhere that were clearly coming from a place of homophobic and anti-trans bigotry, but you have to know what you’re doing every time you bring those people up in response to someone making a completely valid, honest, and hate-free criticism of the game or the producer. You can’t tell a poster to be mindful while not being mindful yourself. It’s like someone telling you they love adidas sneakers and you saying, “You should be more mindful about expressing your love for adidas because the Nazi’s also loved adidas.”

Sorry, again I mean zero disrespect by it and don’t mean for it to be a big distraction, I just noticed it in the other thread and noticed it again here and I think it’s kind of a ####ty thing to do when it’s completely unearned.
