While I certainly don’t think it makes the show/game worse… having played both games, it’s not untrue that gay/queer folks are overrepresented in TLOU. Considering they are generally less than 10% of the population.

But given that historically, gays have been underrepresented in media, this might be a good thing.

In the second game especially though, there is a sense of “wait, he/she is also gay?”
