Part 5/13:
Throughout the new episodes, there is a conspicuous presence of LGBTQ+ symbols—gay pride flags, murals, and other references—set against a post-apocalyptic backdrop where societal norms have supposedly broken down. Critics question the logic of maintaining such displays in a collapsed world where survival is paramount. They suggest that, in the original game setting, these symbols would likely have disappeared amidst chaos, yet the series seems to suggest they were ubiquitous even before the fall of civilization.
