The Last of Us review-bombed by homophobes – again – after Ellie and Dina’s sex scene

Not for the first time, hit post-apocalyptic drama The Last of Us has been review-bombed online. A common thread of the criticism is the inclusion of fully fleshed-out queer characters and narratives.

Most recently, the fourth episode of season two featured Ellie, played by Bella Ramsey, and Dina (Isabela Merced) being open about their feelings for each other and having sex.

Dina also revealed that she was pregnant, prompting Ellie to say: “I’m going to be a dad.”

That moment has drawn criticism from viewers and contributed to the series getting a “generally unfavourable” score from, at time of reporting, 500 ratings on review aggregator Metacritic.
