HBO has officially announced thatKaitlyn Dever will be playing Abbyin the second season ofThe Last of Us.
Who is she exactly and what makes her so controversial among fans of the game?
Allow us to explain.
To put it mildly, some people werent too thrilled by this exercise in empathy.
It also makes sense that they would be frustrated that he was killed so early on in the sequel.
Abby Was Subject to Online Misogyny
The hate for Abby goesbeyond just plot and gameplay, though.
Some people hate Abby because shes a woman, and/or because shes too muscular and not traditionally attractive.
Playing as Ellie is acceptable, but adding another female protagonist is apparently going too far.
Or this part of the story could follow the gameplay closely for the shock value.
The Last of Usseason 2 will go into production later this year.
