As I wrote <a href=" target="_blank">my review</a> of 2020′s “The Last of Us Part 2,” -creator Neil Dckmann’s work “don’t relish s gory aths or emotnal sufferg. It jt tak every opportuny to show them, over and over, and cis that unts as sayg somethg about them.” The gam’s characters are admirably diverse; a queer storyle the 2013 game was undoubtedly a leap forward for the medium at the time, and 2014′s “Left Behd” DLC and “The Last of Us Part 2” featured queer and <a href=" target="_blank">trans storyl that expand vio game narrativ</a>. But this diversy, to me, ultimately pots back to nothg but nihilism: queer people exist the worlds bee we exist the real world, and they suffer bee everyone suffers. At the risk of beg crass: I’m a queer trans man, myself. You don’t need to tell me thgs are bad out here.</p></div><div class="article-body" data-qa="article-body"><p data-ttid="drop-p-letter" data-el="text" class="wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css overriStyl font-py" dir="null">So I didn’t expect episo 3 to tell such a posive story, or as posive a story as “The Last of Us” universe n allow. Queer reprentatn media has a long, thorny history; for most of the 20th century, queer characters were portrayed as villas and loners, and their liv were <a href=" target=_blank>tragic</a> as a sort of moral stctn. In recent tim and some parts of the world, as public opn of queerns changed and muni ma stris legal regnn and rights, the queer stori available have also changed. Televisn, film and books have shown queer characters a more posive light, movg om sikicks or punchl to nuanced protagonists wh plex liv. Queer characters have been “allowed” to be <a href=" target=_blank>happy</a>, which has undoubtedly helped a new generatn of queer people see themselv and image better liv. This has led to a bate among many queer muni about whether reprentatn self is the end goal, or whether posive reprentatn ns the risk of <a href=" target=_blank>simplifyg</a> queer liv.

They’re plited characters, pecially Bill; when’s the last time you saw a queer character who was also a prepper, wh a Gadsn flag and a basement full of guns? While they fall to certa gay stereotyp — a love of fer thgs, Frank’s knowledge of antiqu, Bill’s fss about his home — the quali stand as humanizg ntrasts to their tough exterrs. (Their excellent butch beard game don’t hurt, eher.) They survive and thrive the world of “The Last of Us,” creatg an abundant life while other people we’ve met so far languish arized ci. Most notably — and most differently than the game — they go out on their own terms. They “<a href=" target=_blank>queer</a>” what ath “The Last of Us” n be; a world where everythg ends tragedy, they create the happit endg available to anyone, gay or straight.

It seems that Bill is olr than Frank, but Frank succumbs to an unspecified illns and ends up firm, which ultimately prompts his suici. If you grew up queer the 80s and 90s, the image of one gay man phg another a wheelchair might look fiercely faiar om the early days of the AIDS crisis and the storytellg that me out of . Many cis gay men of my generatn believed this kd of ath was evable, that they would die tend to by a lover or they would be the widower left behd. (Bill and Frank’s last day together particular remd me of the 1996 film “It’s My Party,” which an HIV-posive man throws a party before killg himself.) Bill rebels agast this trope by dyg alongsi Frank, but as I watched (and cried) as Bill wheeled Frank around their hoe and hand him his pills, I thought of how many tim I had seen this scene other movi and televisn.

This is, of urse, explaable: Bill is a loner by nature, pl there’s the whole apolypse thg, but the lone queer or isolated uple is another trope I’ve seen media pictns.

In the experience of many queer people the real world, myself clud, queer people might face hardship, but we have a muny around ; we know people like ourselv. “The Last of Us” picts queer people when a viewer might not expect to see them, but still shows them the same old ways.</p></div><div class="article-body" data-qa="article-body"><p data-ttid="drop-p-letter" data-el="text" class="wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css overriStyl font-py" dir="null">I’m not gog to fely clare this “good” or “bad.” A more tradnally happy endg isn’t the rds for Bill and Frank bee isn’t the rds for <i>anyone</i> “The Last of Us.” And queer characters don’t necsarily need happy endgs to be nuanced characters or to tell meangful stori. But while watchg the episo, I thought about Ellie’s nonil queerns om the gam. Joel and the viewer know so much about Bill and Frank’s queer liv, but Ellie don’t. Bill’s suici note asks whoever fds not to e to the bedroom, and so she never even se them. If Ellie is queer this universe, I wonred what would have been like for her to meet them, the way she meets Bill the game. Would help her image the horizons of her own life, the way has helped so many real-world queer people? I wonred if she uld see clu of queerns, hts of herself, Bill and Frank’s hoe. Bill’s suici note is left to “whoever but probably Joel,” and Ellie says “I figured I fell to whoever” — she do, perhaps more ways than one.</p></div><div class="article-body" data-qa="article-body"><div class="cb dn db-ns" data-qa="article-body-ad" data-ttid="article-body-ad-sktop"><div aria-hidn="te" class="hi-for-prt relative flex jtify-center ntent-box ems-center b bh mb-md mt-none pt-lg pb-lg" style="m-height:250px;borr-top-lor:;borr-bottom-lor:"><div class="center absolute w-100 borr-box" style="top:"><div class="dib gray-dark pl-xs pr-xs font-sans-serif light font-xxxxs lh-md" style="--primary-borr-lor:"></div></div><div data-ttid="placeholr-box" class="w-100 h-100 absolute flex flex-lumn jtify-center borr-box bg-offwhe" style="width:300px;height:250px"><div class="flex flex-lumn jtify-center font-sans-serif center font-xxs light gray-dark lh-md"><div>Advertisement</div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="article-body" data-qa="article-body"><div class="cb db dn-ns" data-qa="article-body-ad" data-ttid="article-body-ad-mobile"><div aria-hidn="te" class="hi-for-prt relative flex jtify-center ntent-box ems-center b bh mb-md mt-sm pt-sm pb-sm" style="m-height:250px;borr-top-lor:;borr-bottom-lor:"><div class="center absolute w-100 borr-box" style="top:"><div class="dib gray-dark pl-xs pr-xs font-sans-serif light font-xxxxs lh-md" style="--primary-borr-lor:"></div></div><div data-ttid="placeholr-box" class="w-100 h-100 absolute flex flex-lumn jtify-center borr-box bg-offwhe" style="width:300px;height:250px"><div class="flex flex-lumn jtify-center font-sans-serif center font-xxs light gray-dark lh-md"></div></div></div></div></div><div class="article-body" data-qa="article-body"><p data-ttid="drop-p-letter" data-el="text" class="wpds-c-cYdRxM wpds-c-cYdRxM-iPJLV-css overriStyl font-py" dir="null">“I ed to hate the world and I was happy when everyone died,” Ellie reads. “But I was wrong, bee there was one person worth savg.” Bella Ramsey as Ellie stumbl over the send part here.

Sce 1991 and ntug through the middle of the first of the twentyfirst century, there has been a steady crease the rate of unprotected anal terurse among homosexuals who largely scribe themselv as “burned out” on safer sex or rigned to the fact that they will eher bee fected or fect their primary partners. In a 2000 Brish NATSAL survey, a random and populatn-based sample, men wh a homosexual partner durg the past 5 years reported havg 110 sex partners durg that time, pared wh 8 sexual partners among those men who reported havg no homosexual partnerships (9).

And what mak the suatn plited is the fact that, although many people hold the explic belief that ’s okay for gay people to be affectnate wh one another public (that is to say, if you were to ask them whether ’s okay for gay people to kiss public, they’d say of urse is), the same people neverthels hold implic negative attus on the subject. It was strsed to participants both ndns that the director knew the vio was likely to duce public French–kissg but this was not his primary goal makg the participants were then asked the followg qutns: (1) Did the director tentnally enurage homosexual men [or straight upl] to French–kiss public? Intrigugly, however, rponse to the first qutn, participants viewed the director’s actns as beg more tentnal when he enuraged gays to kiss public than peculiar fdg is terpreted relatn to the well-documented “Knobe Effect, ” a phenomenon first disvered by Yale philosopher Joshua Knobe whereby people are more cled to say that a behavr was performed tentnally when they regard that behavr as beg morally wrong.

) To Inbar and his thors, this ngo fdg regardg the director’s tentns therefore reflects a visceral, tuive and largely unnsc moral judgg of homosexualy by otherwise open- and fair-md what mak the thors’ posn even more pellg is the fdg that participants who were easily disgted (as measured by the Disgt Sensivy Sle, which asss dividual differenc aversn to thgs such as fec, rottg meat, bodily secretns, blood, gore and rps) were pecially likely to see the director’s actns as tentnal—but only the gay-kissg ndn. However, bee the implic (often unnsc) moral judgments are often nflict wh social prcriptns of fairns and equaly for gay upl, such dividuals are ually pletely unaware of their own prejudiced specific lk between disgt sensivy and tuive attus toward gays, however, isn’t entirely unrstood at prent. Bee gay people almost by fn engage “unual” sexual behavr, one would expect more negative reactns to this outgroup on the part of those who are particularly disgt may not be entirely apparent om readg the fdgs, but all of this is actually very good news for gay people.
