Over the last 100 years, yeah. What about the last 5-10?

apparently, the series goes further in depth with the characters than the game does. does the game play make it that much better an experience?

That's what I didn't like about the show being remade and about the part 2 game. The first game was so perfectly done that expanding on it would only oversaturate it. It never needed to be messed with.

different mediums have to focus on different things. i really enjoyed the show. maybe we just approach media differently.

I do agree with Jason's statement about it being overplayed. In that past 10 years it seems like just about every movie or TV show has a gay character shoehorned in and it feels soo forced that it's annoying. I've seen reboots where a character is suddenly gay when he wasn't in the original. Now I can understand the marketing to that audience or whatever but it's played out at this point.

All that said I do not allow my opinion of this determine if a watch a movies/TV show or not. If i drop a show it's because the show either just sucks from the start or becomes boring over time.

and before that "gay" was used to mock and shame. trans was something gross and insidious etc in mainstream media. times change and people over-fixate on the prevalence or "agenda". just watch what you want to watch or not and try to make sure it's because of the show or movie and not baggage that you're bringing into it.

I understand that and as I stated I watch whatever I want but it does get annoying when the gay issue is obviously shoehorned in so often.
