The Last of Us Part 2 developer Naughty Dog put out a statement over the weekend condemning harassment and threats made against those who worked on the game as director Neil Druckman and others shared some of the vile messages they’ve received following the game’s release.
“You can love or hate the game and share your thoughts about it,” Druckman wrote on Twitter yesterday . “Unfortunately too many of the messages I’ve been getting are vile, hateful, & violent.” Based on screenshots he shared the messages contained homophobic, transphobic, antisemetic, and other hateful remarks. “Hopefully covid 19 kills your whole toxic feminist studio,” read part of one of the messages.
Druckman wasn’t the only one though. Last Friday, July 3 Laura Bailey, who voices one of the game’s main characters, Abby, tweeted out screenshots of some of the awful messages she’s received. “Man,” she wrote, “I try to only post positive stuff on here...but sometimes this just gets a little overwhelming.”

Abby’s character in particular seems to have become something of a sore point for reactionary fans who can’t seem to deal with the idea of a woman having big muscles . Without getting into spoilers, she also factors big into one of the game’s major plot points . But The Last of Us Part 2 as a whole has been the target of harassment and abuse going back to when some of the game’s story beats leaked in April .
