The delightful Jeff Cannata (TDS aside) on Twitter expressed his feelings on the Last of Us 2 by metaphorically comparing the game; if most games are John Wick, TLOU2 is Schindlers List. It is an artistic contrast.

Schreire attacks Jeff on how dare he make such comparisons triggering potential cancelation of Jeff via his sjw devotees.

Neill Drukmann comes to the defence of Jeff. Is told by Jason, of course you'd defend your game....

The drama unfolds. What are your thoughts, should we be censoring our thoughts on art in case the art represents horrid historical events?

The outrage mob eats itself with their purity tests.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Shreier is probably getting 3 hours of sleep per night due to having a kid.

He's essentially retarded until that kid starts sleeping through the night.

 

[Droxcy]

The whole woke setting of Last Of Us 2 isn't for everyone, Neil's opinions and ideas aren't for everyone. I personally don't like both of these fellas lol.

 

[pr0cs]

He's essentially retarded

Agreed

 

[Mobile Suit Gooch]

Clown world. *Honk honk*

 

[Gamerguy84]

I think Neil could kick his ass, maybe its the hair.

Jokes aside I dont care if the game is woke or whatever, im buying it. Sitting at a 96 and I loved TLOU.

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

This is so funny you can't make that up. How do they not see the stupidity in all of this?

 

[Bryank75]

Glad to see Druckman and Cannata seeing sense....
I was at odds with Cannata on twitter years ago but he was more or less a decent guy, nowhere near as extreme as Schreier has become.

He will only end up alienating himself in the end.

 

[Explosive Zombie]

Schindler's List isn't a fucking documentary, Jason, settle down.

 

[Enjay]

And these are the people being catered to by the industry now.

 

[Shmunter]

How long till Jeff bends the knee and apologises for his criminal analogy?

 

[Raonak]

Lol. How why is Jason getting so upset about standard game hyperbole.

 

[Saint Boot]

This is mostly why social media like twitter is a mistake. it's largely become Jerry Springer, minus Jerry springer. Never did like those types of shows like springer or Steve Wilkos.

 

[DeeDogg_]

Jason looks like an uncircumcised penis with where's Waldo glasses.

 

[Shmunter]

Colin Moriarty comes out in support of Jeff....

 

[GreyHorace]

So a bunch of cucks are getting all whiny on social media? Why am I not surprised?

The fact that it's a game developer from one of the biggest releases of the year arguing with a 'game journalist' makes it even more hilarious. I thought these people were supposed to be professional?

Why can't these idiots keep this drama to themselves? It's like Adam Orth all over again.

 

[bitbydeath]

Schlinders list getting book burned next?

 

[GhostOfTsu]

How much do you bet that Jason never thought about his ancestors that died in Auschwitz before today? Neil is also Jewish so that makes this whole thing even more stupid.

 

[Chiggs]

Jason Schreier is a pure shitscrape of a human being. Glad to see him getting his ass handed to him in a Twitter spat he definitely thought he'd be the hero in. Douchebag.

Colin Moriarty comes out in support of Jeff....

Love it.

 

[Flash Junkins]

Could not agree more. JS is past due on his receipts.

 

[EviLore]

The whole woke setting of Last Of 2 isn't for everyone, Neil's opinions and ideas aren't for everyone. I personally don't like both of these fellas lol.

Even if they're both male feminists, one's a disgusting TMZ reject and the other builds things of value to millions of people. There's no comparison.

It sounds like Sony may have blackballed him after the Naughty Dog story.

 

[Raven117]

So long as it's a good story told in a different way, I don't give a flying fuck if it's "woke."

 

[Shmunter]

You should go in there for some moral support to Jeff.

 

[Stiflers Mom]

Life must be so complicated for these people if a comparison like this creates tension.

 

[GreyHorace]

Even if they're both male feminists, one's a disgusting TMZ reject and the other builds things of value to millions of people. There's no comparison.

Exactly. I may not like Druckmann but at least he put the time and effort to creating something. Whether or not it's of any worth will be up to the public to decide.

What the hell has Schreier created of note? A book detailing developer sob stories?

 

[DeepEnigma]

You're a weasel sneak fuck, Jason. Even some people who share your ideology stack can see that.

 

[SirKicksalot]

Imagine asking to review this game when Sony has clauses stopping you from speaking about its story. Check out Kotaku's review, they say a lot about these retarded conditions. Every review written under these circumstances is suspect.

 

[farmerboy]

Much like "nazi" the term "woke" is also overused.

I literally just bought you NeoGAF gold for that post.

Haven't read kotaku review, but it sounds like clauses against spoilers? Nothing stopping a final good/bad/avg opinion from a publication.

 

[Shmunter]

The feeble minds have re-wired themselves through prolonged exposure to social media.

How are they suspect? They can still write the review and feel how they felt about the game, then include the story spoiler elements after. Holding off spoilers doesn't change how they felt about the game or their review/score, etc..

The same thing happens with books and cinema all the time.

It does help curb trolls for spoiling it for the rest of the people out there.

 

[The Alien]

Ya hate to see it. Just kidding.

Love seeing smug, self righteous douches have a little spat....and yeah, Schrier was trying to get a mob going.

F that little shitstain.

 

[Xplainin]

I can just smell the estrogen coming from this Twitter war.

 

[darth.shrimp]

Shreier is probably getting 3 hours of sleep per night due to having a kid.

due to having a kid

Wait, Jason Shreier has... how did... what... who....

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

I'm a fu*king conservative and I'm powerful enough to not only forgive Jason Shreier, but to also value his small but noteworthy contributions to the industry (and country) I love! Who wants some of this?! Fight me you cowards!!

 

[M1chl]

So now is not Citizen Kane, but Shinder's List....

 

[Echelon]

Wait, Jason Shreier has... how did... what... who....

Using that sweet Bloomberg [opinion][contributor][we have a video games section?] money to pay for a surrogate.

 

[Makoto-Yuki]

I think I've made it clear that I'm not Druckmann's biggest fan but I support him. Good to see people stand up to that weasle of character. Jason is toxic cancer.

 

[rofif]

What does that even mean

 

[BadBurger]

I saw this exchange on Twitter this afternoon. Schreire's mock rage, performative wokeness was so funny and banal. Cannata was obviously comparing his response to the game to a movie, not the holocaust. To even make that wild leap of logic that he was is mind numbing. Glad to see Druckmann standing up for Jeff.

 

[Jaguar Victory]

I try not to shit on people for a bad take unless it's hurtful to others. Hopefully he sleeps on it and realizes he overreacted. Schreier needs to sit down for a bit and reflect on how he treats people.

 

[Business]

I'm so glad I don't give a fuck about the problems they create.

 

[Breakfast at Noon]

Shreier is probably getting 3 hours of sleep per night due to having a kid.

I've got 3 kids, this comment right here is bullshit.

 

[Xplainin]

Surely the guy who impregnated Jasons wife would also be helping with looking after it as well?

 

[Mr Hyde]

Would be nice if OP contained the entire Twitter exchange so you could get some more context. Anyway I read most of it and it's definitely a case of manufactured outrage. I understood the analogy Cannata was making about Schindler's list immediately, as should anyone with a functioning brain. To think that some people want to dogpile him for that is straight up embarrassing.

Twitter is without a doubt, the worst fucking social media platform I've seen. I nearly vomited trying to navigate through this exchange. It's nothing more than stroking your ego, chasing likes and give yourself a pat on your back. All of that within 140 characters. How the fuck can you even have a serious conversation with such a limit?

If I had a Twitter account, or any social media account for that matter, I would become mentally insane within a month.
