Question: If some POC shoots someone at a Protest, is it the individual who gets blames, or the whole group? LIke "BLACK PEOPLE AT IT AGAIN, SHOOTING EACH OTHER".
It's the INDIVIDUAL that is blamed. And rightfully so. Blaming the whole group for acts of the individual NEVER happens, if something happens on the "left" side, but ALWAYS happens, if something happens on the "right" side.
Also, on a side note: That Voice Actress, Laura Bailey, did they model the character after her? Because then it's kinda funny. She looks pretty good in real life, and that is apparently who she DECIDES to be.
In the game her character looks like some kind of Mr.Hyde Monster.
This. It’s always death threats. I get that their are mentally ill people but this always seems so convenient.
I really do prefer to trust people are telling the truth about something this serious, but with the way things have been going... I am not so willing to trust anyone anymore.
Don't believe anything there isn't appropriate evidence for. "Trust me, I know I'm toeing the line that pays me, but totes believe me" is not evidence.
For generations gamers got by with jostling and jabbing at each other. Saying all kinds of trash talk to one another and there was never this huge "death threat" problem. Sure it happened every now and then, and no one liked it and it was generally frowned upon, but for the most part it just wasnt a thing.
Then about 10-15 years ago, with the huge push to bring everyone into gaming and making video gaming the premiere form of entertainment suddenly there was this crazy issue of "death threats." No matter what was happening someone was going to kill someone else over it, and these threats were taken seriously no matter how improbable they were.
Now you have these normies, who dont have the cognitive ability to separate the messages in the media they are forced to consume from their own personal ideology, insisting that no one be allowed to disagree with them, and anyone who does needs to be "eliminated." This is where i believe this "death threat" issue is coming from. People who have been forced into media they cant properly process, lashing out at the people involved it its creation because A) they have the ability to scream into the void and B) they cant separate seeing an opposing view from having to accept that view.
You have these people who were used to getting everything they wanted exactly as they wanted it being forced into communities and media that had no interest in catering to them. Now gamer culture is used to this much of the culture is generated around being outcast from the larger society, your here because everywhere else kicked you out. So you buy a game, it is what it is, you complain about it a bit then you move on to the next. You might never go back to that game franchise, but you arent threatening the creators of the game with death, you tell your buddies the game was shit and find something that you do like. But the normies simply cant and dont do this. When they play a game they dont like, they feel personally attacked. "How dare someone make something that isnt exactly what i wanted." And its even worse in reverse, when other people dislike something they like "This media was perfect, they must be stupid to not like it."
What we are seeing here are two sides of normies arguing with each other, while both sides blame "gamers." Devs who are in it for "prestige" and "art" getting screamed at by the lowest common denominator because its "popular" and for "clout" while the actual people trying to play the games catch flak for the negligence of both.

Still looks more feminine than Abby
We need to have a dialogue about toxicity, this is unacceptable!
You deserved it, die nazi!
How many articles like this get written when shippers send death threats?
Does she though? I mean, is there any proof of this? Or is there any proof it wasn't bought and paid for by the TLOU2's marketing budget?
