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

No, it isn't. I was abundantly clear the character is ugly bald and that I couldn't care less about her feelings. People can call her an ugly bitch all they want.

She apparently is online, so she has chosen to put herself out in the public and the peasants on the tweeters and the facebooks aren't going to just eat cake apparently.

That's their God given right as long as it doesn't become physical.

Going online, on a women's social media page to call her "an ugly bitch" is small dick behavior. And that goes for any man to be honest. It's one of the weakest things a man can do.

Out of curiosity. Why is that? Why pretty much mainly him? Why does he get such fervor where others tend to not?
He did what every hack creative does: destroys a product people love because their audience interpreted their art differently than they envisioned.

We have great examples of this like Neil doing Joel dirty just because he hated the idea of the audience sympathizing with Joel. No white male patriarchal power fantasy for you!

Those who watched "Barry" can also related to this. First two seasons were absolute TV perfection. But he grew disgusted with his audiences' reaction to Barry becoming celebrated, and proceeded to spend 2 more seasons tearing him apart.

God, this scene was so pathetically on the nose I'm surprised my eyes didn't fall out of my face from rolling them so hard. Idiots on the internet thinking this is the perfect encapsulation on guns in America.

No I do like his games. I'll be buying this day one. I'm just confused by how she was not online and he showed her what was said or was she online and then stopped. That timeline makes a difference. Was it in reaction to the first video you mentioned because she had to be online or in the zeitgeist at that time. I didn't read the article just the comments in the OP so I was actually asking

Gotcha.

The way I read her comments, I assume she was online initiatally, saw all the reactions to the first trailer and then went all in on that fucking pathetic response meme, essentially insulting her audience. She's a Hollywood actress and that's been the Hollywood playbook for the past 4 to 5 years of them churning out woke slop and then shitting on the audience for not going to see it.

Anyway, it seems like after that is when she removed herself from social media. Possibly as a direct result of the vociferous hate she would have received for posted her ill-advised meme.

So since then, it seems Druckman has approached her and given her coaching on ignoring online hate until the game is done. He should have done that prior to the first trailer dropping and he's probably kicking himself that he didn't.

Sure is. Just so happens free speech is for everyone. Not just those going online calling others incels, racists, and phones of every color of the rainbow.

Again, they have every right. Even if morally repugnant.

It's all allowed and I care, not.
 
I'm not some idiot that will tell a car salesman your car is horrible and they call me names and I still say, "sure I'll bend over and buy that from you".
If you tell a car salesman that their car is horrible, then you aren't going to buy the car even if they don't call you names. Hence, you aren't a "potential customer" anyway. Their response to your comment is irrelevant. Avoidable, yes. But irrelevant as far as car sales goes.
 
Main characters, main characters everywhere. These people have such high opinions of themselves that of course anyone who criticises them must be dumb, evil, racist, incels. Anything else would break their worldview where they're the center of the fucking world.

Tati literally being the main character of this game makes this post especially special.

This.

Being mean to someone on that level reauires putting in effort, and that makes you an asshole.

People here confuse criticism with bullying. I am sure there is valid criticism for the game out there, but it does not start with "Cuckmann" or "bald bitch".
Just because someone is on social media, it doesn't mean that you should spam them with hate. I am not a native english spraker, yet i can articulate my criticism better than the "but cuckmann" crowd out there.

No1 has to go to her social media, bro, deep down she knows she is ugly as a sin and got the job coz of DEI and cuckman liking women that look like men, TLOU2 is proof of that :D

Dealers have other models vehicles, just like developers have multiple games, ding dong. Are we living in the real world at this point? Instead of looking at other models "games for you", I just don't buy anything from the developer.

Jesus, we have hit peak Idiocracy.

The problem nowadays is, once a small percentage makes this comment any other criticism gets lumped in with it. The creatives are aware and then exploit it and make themselves victims and seek it out. The valid criticism then gets lost in the outrage.

This is how I read and understood it too.

Women do this to each other far more than men.

This isn't a "men" issue.

This is very true. I just can't speak to that, since I'm a man. It's terrible either way, but feels 100x worse when men do it to women. Especially to the women that if they were to get any rhythm from in the real world, they'd be in the sack with them chicks in seconds.
 
Didn't this actress invite a bunch of hate at the reveal. I don't think Drukman invites it, but I think people are tired of his general smugness. Being mean or rude to people on the internet is pretty dumb anyway. But I can see that having people just constantly say terrible things about you can be difficult.
 
Idk why you would even create a product that you know is gonna piss off a good chunk of the audience. Who is clamoring for more gurl boss lesbian games. If that's what you want you already have a million options and more than one from Neil himself. Hardest pass ever on this junk.

Tati is actually a very pretty girl. I don't like the bald look on her personally, but she's had hair for most of her life. Those pics show me a very pretty girl.

He saw the recent Zegler example and had to reel that shit in.

Yup, they absolutely do this on purpose. Try to get the CHUDs to say something stupid, make a big deal about how much hate and harassment you're getting, then people start withholding criticism because they don't want to be seen on the same side as the deplorable.

Same culture war bullshit that Hollywood has been doing for the last decade. I thought Snow White was the last dying gasp but I guess Druckman thinks he can still get some more mileage out of it.

A person needs to work on what interest them, and when they do that their internal bias and ideas will leak out naturally. His personal ideology will be built in since he is the creative force. Same as with Ken Levine or Kojima or any other creative force. Other people on the team will influence things as well, but overall it will have his worldview. It is the natural outflow of creative work.
 
GAF's loud minority hatred of Neil Druckmann is always funny to see.

Druckmann is a genius game director and has elevated our medium. Yet people want to tear him down just to keep the status quo.

Guess what bro, women get much more ugly w/o hair, healthy long hair is one of major give aways and attraction trigger for men where they recognise young fertile woman, if we-guys were attracted to ugly bald biatches u would have top males fucking 90yo women who cant keep their hair anymore, which obviously isnt the case- human species would die out in that case- males are attracted to young feminine healthy women, thats basics of biology :D

If you cancel a developer altogether because one hypersensitive, activist voice actor (aka "ugly bitch") shares a cartoon meme that isn't necessarily even directed at you unless you identify with said meme, then yes, we have indeed hit peak idiocracy. It's totally your prerogative though.
 
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.

With all due respect that's a terrible comparison. The reality is that most women have long hair or wear extensions because it's culturally tied to femininity and beauty. Meanwhile short hair or no hair on a man is completely normalized. A bald woman stands out precisely because it defies those expectations. That's just how society sees it.

I'm not defending online bullying but let's not pretend the two scenarios are the same. Your argument ignores basic social norms to make a false equivalence.

Not buying a game = "canceling"?

That's the issue too. I don't want to assume everyone is doing it. Unfortunately, you have to raise an eyebrow because it's become somewhat of a playbook.

If we are counting the last 5 years, what is the status quo? Heaven forbid someone creating a product for an existing audience they actually enjoy. Does Vogue need to dedicate a quarter of their magazine to sports?

At an individual level, yes it is. But feel free to use another word in there as that's not the core of my argument.
I got tired of Pepsi and switched back to Coke. Am I canceling them?

If by pattern recognition I realize that a company no longer makes game targeted at me, I don't see as a crazy thing to say that I won't be buying any more of their games.

Nah, you're trying to do that "HA you always complain about cancel culture but you're just as guilty as they are" thing. Better luck next time.

Exactly, ND stopped making games targeted to males, thats their choice, expect lay offs tho coz males are majority of the gamers :D
Rockstar knows it hence we got both protags really goodlooking, traditionally goodlooking too, aka game will have additional sales :D
We know how concord ended up when they bet on woke agenda and ugly characters roster =D

You don't think TLOU2 is targeted to males?

If you vow to never have Pepsi, yes?

But then you are canceling them for a valid reason. A voice actor's personal opinion is not a valid reason as it says nothing about the game itself, let alone other games. Tarantino has very specific political opinions that many here will despise. If you refuse to watch his movies because of his personal opinions, it's a terrible reason to cancel. If you don't like his movies and have decided to not bother watching any more in the future, it's a valid reason. One is idiocracy and the other isn't.

Nopes, most males hate playing as abby, hate joel getting golf club pass and hate tons other shit that promotes stupid and untrue agenda of men and women being equal, we as men know best women and men arent equal at all, both physically and mentally.
