Part 5/9:
The discourse reveals a prominent pattern: passionate critics of The Last of Us Part II, including Jeremy from The Quartering and others, have been targeted with accusations, yet they've never been known to endorse or incite harassment or death threats. The media, however, amplifies claims that these critics are responsible for the toxicity.
This selective outrage raises questions about media bias and the real motives behind framing critics as villains—whether to protect industry interests or to suppress dissenting opinions. It also highlights a pervasive hypocrisy, where condemning harassment is used as a shield to silence criticism, rather than addressing the root issue.
