The Last Of Us is set in a post-apocalyptic 2023, with a world ravaged by pandemic and zombie-like creatures around every corner. So why have some fans been more shocked by the show's queer content than its sci-fi storylines?
Ramsey, who has previously spoken about her dislike of being gendered, and doesn't mind which pronouns people use when talking to her, says it's all about diversity of representation when it comes to actors taking on LGBTQ+ roles.
She explained:"I think it's important that queer people are given opportunities to play queer roles, of course. But I also don't think there's any issue either with, like, straight people playing queer roles or cisgender roles. "I personally don't have a problem with it whatsoever. I just think as long as people are given equal opportunities... I think that's the most important thing. And not being persecuted when it comes to roles."
Episode seven of the show, titled Left Behind, introduces Ellie's best friend Riley, played by Storm Reid.Reid, 19, who had her breakout role in Oscar-winning film 12 Years A Slave, told Sky News:"We all see the comments and whether they're good or they're bad or the sentiments are warm or not. At the end of the day, we know what we're doing, and we know what the purpose is.
She went on:"People love each other, and love is love. So, if you can't accept that, then I don't know where you're going to be able to find space of comfortability anywhere in the world, because people are people and are living in their truth. And I think that's beautiful."In the face of any criticism, and unlike most video game adaptations that came before it, the show is proving a storming success.
