Intergalactic actor reveals Neil Druckmann’s coaching on overcoming online harassment

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?


The star of Naughty Dog's next game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, has said that Neil Druckmann has been "bootcamping" her on dealing with online backlash.

Tati Gabrielle, who plays Jordan, the protagonist of Naughty Dog's next game, has said that Naughty Dog's Druckmann has been coaching her on how to deal with online backlash, based on the experience of The Last of Us's cast.

"Neil's been bootcamp-ing me," she told EW. "I know Troy's experience, I know Ashley's experience…I know Laura Bailey's experience.

"I got a lot of love, but there was a lot of hate over me being a woman, me being a woman of color, me having my head shaved, all these things that I didn't even actually initially see — I'm out of the social media zeitgeist for that reason — but once I did, Neil was like, 'Ignore it. No matter what, me and you, we're going to make something beautiful. We're going to make something that we're proud of.'"

Harassing a woman on social media because she's bald is pathetic tbh. And why is it ok for a man to be bald in games but not a woman? We don't know even know how the story is going to unfold either so hating on an actress before it even comes out is insane.

You're leaving out lots of context.

I'm pretty sure this is the one that went and made posts talking shit to people and gaslighting them online which invited the blowback.

You don't get to play the victim when you partake in the mudslinging.

I hated TLOU2, Druckmann for ruining TLOU and refuse to play this game. I don't sink to their level by ever talking to anyone about this shit, but if you want to talk about being harassed, I was harassed when Joel was killed.

That is all.
 
You're supposed to shower them with unconditional love and admiration. How dare you critique the work of the "ar-teeeest" !!!
Yeah man, besides not taking criticism well, they HATE it when you call them artsy-fartsy for some reason. I think it delegitimizes their core persona.

Edit: I don't think some here appreciate the level of restraint us Intergalactic dislikers have shown so far on page 1. We could have immediately went into hating on the game but did not. We simply responded to the actress here. Do you think we don't have material? There's plenty of material.

Oh, it's yet another one of *these* threads.

Anyone who has harassed this woman for the crime of having a role in a videogame is just totally pathetic and an embarrassment to gaming.
 
Hahaha!

But here's a tip. Don't have attitude with a sinead o Connor shaved head sipping a straw like a brat. Your problems would had dropped 95%.

Lesson learned. Perception is reality.

When baldness is not a medical condition but a fashion statement, I'm not surprised at all at the negative responses. Any woman who think a shaved head looks cool is sorely mistaken.

I agree in the fact that she shouldn't be giving people ammunition to hate on her but at the same time she's correct in that both her character and ciri were hated on immediately when both of them were revealed. The Witcher 4 trailer had people calling ciri ugly and saying CD Projekt Red toned her looks down etc and people were absolutely shitting all over intergalactics character when it came out to the point that X was full of posts just railing on both of them.

Threads like this kinda prove the point of whether its merited or not.

Look, face it, some of you guys are gunning for this game already, based on remarkably little; A trailer and your dislike for some of the creative choices in TLOU2.

Do what you want, just don't pretend that them receiving tons of shit from internet reactionaries isn't basically a certainty already.
 
I wonder if the majority of threads like this are started by the same few posters here. Just constantly, furiously angry every day about something or other and running straight to GAF to shit-stir and get people riled up.

It's so easy to stay away from certain games these days.

People who treat their potential audience/customers with contempt like that don't deserve a penny.

What is there valid to cricitise her for? That you don't like her HAIRCUT and you don't want to fuck her?

Ooh, very important views to get out there. What a joke.
Can't speak for everyone else but in my case, I don't care who she is or what she does with her hair or her life or whatever.

Problem I see here is that they are trying to promote a videogame featured by yet another ugly, muscular female and people seem to really don't like that. It's not a matter of hating or being angry, but more like I don't spend my money on ugly stuff. After all, looking at myself in the mirror is free.

I imagine that most of the hate (complaints) have been directed towards the game and the in-game model and not the actress, but I might be wrong since I don't follow social media stuff.

She can leave her colour and her shaved head out of this.
Her tweet and her stupid woke opinions (that got popular after the trailer) brought the backlash she got.
It's over. Society had a retarded phase. Its done. We have moved on.

Neil should get a coach for overcoming his cuckness.

First impressions count. The protagonist in the Intergalactic trailer came off as immensely unlikable. This could be a picture on the Wikipedia article on "Punchable face".

I have gotten so tired of people and their feel feels. She is an ugly bitch with a shaved head and I'm not spending money on ugly. No one, I repeat no one tries to get ugly cars, houses, wives, girlfriends, etc.

I've been called a murderer, baby killer, spit on repeatedly, got punched in the face by a Westboro Baptist Church guy while the others called me a gay lover and I'm going to hell, that I need to be murdered, that my friends deaths made them happy, ah yada, yada, yada. Oh, well.

Stop being little bitches, folks. Also, stay in school or whatever.

There was a torrent of open hostility towards her, the game and the studio the second she was shown in the trailer.

We all know why. Trying to justify the open sewer of shit that was aimed at her because of some comments she made later is just ridiculous.

It's similar to fairgames. The know it all gen z'er against the older establishment kind of game.

You'd think maybe young gamers would love it. But I don't the sense even young people who think they are the biggest brain in the room even like that kind of attitude in games.

Is there something wrong with that? Videogames are products they are trying to sell at a high price. I'd say we as consumers have all the right in the world to complain. Same as if I don't like the gameplay or the graphics, if the characters are fugly I will complain.

Maybe it's due to knowing how Neil likes to gaslight a certain base through his works? It's okay to be critical of that tired circular manipulation.

It's the internet. Everyone gets shit, and sadly there is no way to curb that other than self care. We shit on each other all day long here. Then it all goes away when we close the browser.

Jesus Christ. Everyone has some mean things said about them online.

Don't try to get pity points for it, especially after you mocked and antagonized your audience.

Oh really? What's your name then, do you want to tell the whole forum? Can you link us to all your socials?

She is a public figure, with her basic details out in the open. If you've got criticised on a forum you are in no way in the same position she or somebody like her is.

I don't think that is true at all. The Witcher 4 got tons of upvotes. It wasn't badly ratioed at all on YT. At least that's from what i remember.

People loved the trailer because it was a simple kick the monster's ass trailer. And also ciri is better looking than whomever shaved head attitude actress is intergalactic.

I think people can criticize a character as much as they want too but attacking the actress is when you're going too far. Bullying in any form is wrong no matter if someone is 12 or 80.
