especially funny bc the series was so obviously extremely left leaning from the start and even more explicitly so in forbidden west. an openly trans NPC! aloy a lesbian!
And I didn't play the first one so I just assumed there was something in the backstory that you could've chosen to romance someone and if you didn't they would all just look at her like the one that got away.
I was cracking up at the DLC cut scene that replays the trope of “the cool dude smirks while the nervous chick climbs on his motorcycle and wraps her arm around his waste” but with a sunwing
The entire larger plot was "rich people destroyed the world with their lust for money and war" with nearly every scrap of media from the distant past showing what psychopaths they were, so I wouldn't even say "leaning." The main villains in FW are a handful of super-rich people with high technology.
i deeply believed aloy was a lesbian in the first game since the only time she ever got close to flustered was when women hit on her (specifically the big oseram lady and talanah), but the confirmation in the second game and aloy finally allowing like. another relationship in her life… fantastic
