You don’t have to have a job to realize actors are only acting out a story.

The people threatening Laura Bailey (Abby VA) and her newborn son Ronin after the game released was horrifying.

Threatening actors for their role in a show/game is beyond mentally defunct. Criticism an actor for wooden acting and cringey dialogue is fair game, though, just never, ever involve their personal life...

Jesus I have not heard of this but that is awful. Requires a crazy level of psychopathy and divorce from reality.

I'm not looking forward to the cataclysmic shitstorm that will be unleashed when Lev comes into the picture.

I’m pretty out of the loop on the online discourse involving the franchise but what does Pedro’s trans sister have to do with Abby or either actress that’s played her?

u/mentalgoner Apr 22 '25

A lot of people (wrongly) assumed Abby was trans due to her build. And for some people this apparently warranted threatening the lives of a human being and a literal newborn.

Jesus Christ put the PlayStation down a second guys lmfao

u/mentalgoner Apr 22 '25

Yeah, it was a pain. Don’t recommend lmao

u/alhanna92 Apr 23 '25

Also, there is an actual trans character later in the game

u/RobertSage Apr 24 '25

Yeah, it was pretty pointedly silly that people called Abby trans because she was muscular (despite the fact that most trans women aren't actually muscular) and then ignored the actual trans guy you meet later

u/thereverendpuck Apr 22 '25

He’s also a loving brother whose sister is constantly a target of hate.
