So it’s true: Feminists have started ruining video games with all their feminism. At least according to some dude called pullupjumper on MGTOWforums who recently wrote a post warning his fellow red pill dudebros about a little game called The Last of Us, which is not only filled with zombies but, get this, girls.
For anyone who plays video games as one of their hobbies, The Last of Us is a pretty fun game…. but…. The feminist messages were close to ruining a game I waited a year for… The game’s setting is in a zombie apocalyptic world and the basic story (no spoilers) is that this guy has to take a 14 year old girl across the country during the zombie apocalypse. Almost as soon as the story started, I knew pretty much every female character in the game (except for the main protagonists daughter) would be portrayed as a”bad ass” character. The message was clear, women are as strong as men… Even when they are only 14.
Also, there were some adult ladies in positions of authority!
During the game , the two main characters meet different survivor groups. Every group leader was a woman. The only group leader who was a man, was a bad guy. The main protagonist even said yes ma’am, no ma’am to these women.
CAN YOU IMAGINE.
Now before you all go, but isn’t this sort of complaining a little hypocritical, given that all these video game dudes got mad when that chick Anita Sarkeesian who isn’t even a real gamer because of boobies made those videos she totally stole all that money for because IT’S ONLY A GAME, LADY JEEZ DON’T RUIN EVERYTHING WITH YOUR STUPID GENDER ANALYSIS.
Well, no, it’s not totally hypocritical because, get this, the girls in The Last of Us are portrayed as being unnaturally strong and capable.
What was pretty funny though is that the 14 year old girl is able to fire a rifle THAT IS BIGGER THAN HER and fire it accurately.
This is a clear affront to the extreme naturalism and realism of a game about a ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE.
And clearly never before in video game history has any male character been portrayed as unnaturally strong or capable.
Oh but it gets worse:
On the other hand, (not funny) another boy who was about the 14 year old girls age, was portrayed as weak, could not fight, could not shoot a gun and was just made to seem very weak. The Fems cant even leave their “girl power” out of the games.
A male character who is helpless and in need of rescue?
OH NO!
SAVE ME PRINCESS PEACH!
Happily, pullupjumper has an idea for a way to confront this creeping feminism:
Maybe, if any of you are interested, a couple of us can get together and start making our own games after these games become unbearable. What do you guys think?
Grimlock is right there with him:
I’m currently going to school for media arts and animation and am considering starting a small indy animation/film studio with a couple of guys from class. I also happen to be getting pretty good at 3d modeling … and even though i want to start with animation and film video games are my end game.
I don’t think I’d ever put an obvious message into a game, since I find pushing your belief onto others through mediums like videogames more than a little cunty, but will my games be misogynist? You better fucking believe it. Misogyny The likes of which will make duke nukem blush. I won’t need to tell you guys when I break into the industry, you’ll know it from the sheer uproar it’ll cause.
Misogyny … in video games? Now there’s a novel idea!

Oh, by the way, for new and/or extremely literal readers, I would like to point out that this post contains
You can’t mock him, cloudiah, because his penis and his weaboo name make him important. It is inconceivable that you would fail to admire him and acknowledge his natural superiority, therefore there must be something else going on.
Are you referring to cowardly, selfish liars who just happen to be pedophiles (and if so, why is “liars” the main problem here?), or are you suggesting that being a cowardly, selfish liar automatically makes you a pedophile?
Try not to lick your mockery, folks. You don’t know where it’s been.
Don’t lick the mockery, Rui, your tongue will freeze to it!
I love how he’s so “above it all” but still has to keep coming back to try to get the last word (and tell us we have no effect on him, he totally doesn’t care what we think).
Me dumb and mean, I get it.
That doesn’t change the game, though.
I’m also hairy. Maybe that can be you guys’ next subject.
CassandraSays ninja’d me.
We get it Rui, you totally don’t care how anyone here sees you. So you will tell us that about ten more times before flouncing off into the sunset.
Yeah, I already said what I came here for. Now the subject has been changed to my name, a typo, and stuff like that.
I’m now just enjoying being more awesome than all of you guys together lol.
Well you have to admit it was a pretty funny typo.
Sigh. Yeah, alright.
Ok, maybe this dipshit will tell us 15 more times how “awesome” he is and how we are totes inferior for laughing at some douche who needed to necro a dead thread to prove, to himself only, how above it all he is.
Wow. Your life must suck.
Son, I have belly-button lint that had a more exciting life than you.
If you have to keep saying that you are a thing…
Nope, you guys are inferior at mockery. And to be honest these last posts were the worst examples. C’mon, people! “Misogyny. I mock it”! Honor the motto!
My life not suck. My life cool, ok? Damn, Alice just out-awesomed me.
I guess now that I’m defeated The Last of Us is not an explicitly feminist game anymore.
Well, I tried. Now I’ll go back to my sucky, sucky life. Another week of mockery-licking 🙁
It’s interesting to see what passes as “argumentation” in a smug echo chamber community of feminists. Ad hom.
Fascinating
I suppose it’s possible that two random MRAs happened to stumble onto this month-old dead thread right at the same time, yet…
Dude and sock of dude, you are not arguing anything, you have only asserted that you are awesome and then flew around for your victory flounce.
You pretty much mock yourselves at this point.
I am not a sock of Rui. You do realize that there’s a “Recent Comments” bar, right? It took me right to this particular “argument” such as it is.
Aw, bless. He’s trying so hard.
Now I just feel sorry for him. 🙁
Why?
Hahaha now people think this guy is me, and NOTHING will convince them otherwise! Now it actually got literally funny.
Bostonian, did you read my posts? I described the characters in the game to show how it was a feminist game. Then came the high-level mockery like “your name funny” and I played along.
It’s cute when they try to keep up.
Wait, did I read the description of the game right (I haven’t played it) that the main character was a guy trying to get the girl across the US? Isn’t this a good guy, not a bad guy?
I mean even if there is only one good strong male character, that is already more than many games have in terms of female characters.
