Eve was literally modeled after a real life Asian woman, those people who say that the developers have never seen a real woman before are looking extremely foolish.

Should never blame Laura Bailey. She’s just an actress who did her job, and she voiced well. Blame the writer of the story. Also, I really dislike Abbey for killing Joel.
@@BlazerK1914 Just think first, its just a video game and not take it too far, speaking of death threat Laura’s children is also threaten today just because of their mother play a hated video game character. An interview from Laura said she can’t take it anymore and ask everyone to stop.
Death threats to anyone is just sick and downright evil. But when you threaten someone's kid(s), you know you crossed the line. I get why people hate Abby in TLOU:P2, and Laura just simply voiced the character. She's not to blame and don't forget she's just a voice actress, not a developer who chose how Abby should be. People SERIOUSLY need to take a look at themselves in the mirror and realise how much of a jackass they are and that death threats are NOT to be made against ANYONE! Especially children who had no part in what their parent did!
Any kind of death threats are childish and stupid but doing it towards someone’s child is straight up uncalled for. Hate the character all you want but if you send death threats to the actress AND their newborn child that does not make you a fan
Eve is definitely attractive but she like the rest of the game was heavily inspired by Nier Automata and it's gorgeous protagonist 2B. So are we really that shocked that Eve is similar to her?
2B being hot is a lot more subtle and only shows at certain angles etc. Eve is literally like a jiggling sex doll running around on your screen for 90% of the game (whether you love that or hate it)
@@misterhoobomaster I'll give you that. She can't take two steps without her breasts bouncing all over the place and the game never misses an opportunity for a shot of her butt and thighs.
Non-gamers getting mad at female characters being appealing to a male audience shouldn't be on here. The real controversy is that American publishers listen to them. Japan, not so much.
Just finished bayonetta some days ago. I didnt even speak anything about it.😂 what is there to talk about? Gg. Im not much into hack and slash but was a little fun
People just don’t want to put themselves in Abby’s shoes. She was seeking vengeance for her father which is justified because he was literally moments away from creating a vaccine for the infection and Joel stopped him. Joel started to care for Ellie and couldn’t let her die because it would be like losing another daughter ALSO UNDERSTANDABLE even if it meant sacrificing a chance to create a cure. People literally hate Abby because she was avenging her father’s death. Forget all of her physical features.. Loved both games and glad part two got GOTY.
Agreed. I love that Naughty Dog had the balls to go with this story. I love Joel, and hated Abby for killing him, but having us then play as Abby was a brilliant way of showing how the "good" and "bad" guys are only judged as such from the point of view we are given. We love Joel and Ellie because they are the characters we've gotten to know, but Abby wasn't a monster for killing Joel any more than Joel was for murdering her father, or any less justified in her motivation to avenge her father's death than Ellie's to avenge Joel's.
@@Drew-f5t Abby and Ellie have quite a lot in common. Suffering PTSD, losing friends over their vengeful obsession, being stuck in a love triangle that has pregnancy, and the fact that their target would die anyway if they’d let go of their vengeful obsession (Joel and Tommy would be killed by that horde in the blizzard, and Abby would starve to death on the pillars)
She’s written terribly, her plot armor is insane. The sex scene is not needed. None of the TLOU2 characters are redeemable, Joel is a soft dad that forgot how to survive, Tommy gives out names likes he’s working as a receptionist, Ellie was not the same character she was in the original. I get it, it’s a dark world filled with uncertainty, but who wrote this game and thought it was good. Is it a coincidence that the co writer only had a few writing credits with Westworld and a few other shows I’ve never heard of. TLOU2 is not a fun game and apparently Neil was shooting for people not to like his game, what a fool.
As somebody who loves Part 2 this is a take I can 100% understand 😅 (Joel is my favourite character of all time) but I still "like" her as a character.
Honestly, anyone that has taken a literature class and or studied stories should of seen it coming that Joel was going to die. Joel was old and was near the end of his life anyways. I don't agree with how soon Joel died in the game. It felt way too rushed.
For the case of Eve it's just twitter freaks not wanting attractive female characters for R Mika it's stupid and for Abby people just went overboard to the point of wanting Laura Bailey to commit Suicide
What I find so funny about Eve from Stellar Blade is that she's literally Bayonetta 2.0. Don't matter if she is modeled after a real person, everything about the game character itself is Bayonetta across the three distinct designs that they made of her.
What's so controversial? A bunch of self entitled narcissists try to ruin fun on all sides. There was nothing wrong with R. Mika's super attack, there was nothing wrong with Quiet, or Eve or anything! Except Abby. She's just a terrible character. Everything else however, get a life and job.
Abby in the Last of Us Part 2 is the Most Controversy/Hated Character of all time. So much that the Actress who Played her Got so Many Death Threats from Fans who Played the game because of her Character Ending Joel’s Life from the Beginning.
Fucking hell... I recall that shit a long time ago. Seriously, it was awful seeing Laura Bailey getting death threats for no reason at all. Plus, she's a great actress. I know her more as Lucina in Fire Emblem Awakening and Kotone Shiomi/Rise Kujikawa in the Persona series. She only provided the voice and nothing else. And yet, people still went after her like that. It's unbelievably horrible that she gets death threats, all because she voiced Abby in The Last of Us Part 2. So uncivilized...
The funny part that I always take away from the thing surrounding stellar blade is the fact that not only is the character of Eve literally modeled after a real life Asian model and actress if I remember correctly. But the individual who actually did the character modeling was also a woman. Also, Kotaku in my mind has literally no moral high ground to stand on because they don’t do journalism. They are nothing more than an agitator website just like rock paper shotgun. I remember during the initial release of battlefield five I believe it was Kotaku that came to the defense of the one individual from the development team, which literally called the detractors “uneducated morons“ and he also said “if you don’t like the game, don’t buy it” which, as we all know happened And battlefield five I think until the release of Battlefield 2042 had some of the lowest performing numbers of any of the battlefield games. Honestly, I think 99% of this “controversy“ is purely designed around simply wanting certain websites or agencies or anything like that to have a quick littledash of limelight.
The Eve controversy is so pathetic, twitter freaks get so worked up for seeing a character that is a work of fiction that isn't supposed to represent real life, it's plain and simple if they don't like it then they should give thier attention to something else, a call for censorship is never the answer especially that the game is rate M for mature audiences.
To this day, I still dont understand the hatred of Abby....😂😂 Famous game franchises like.... Halo, Final Fantesy, Call of Duty, Shadow of the Colossus, God of War, Mass Effect, and Overlord gave you the perspective of the villians and NOBODY complained about that.....
If Abby having muscles caused a problem, then every single guy is insecure or don’t have any of there own. I go to a lot of gyms and I’ve seen some girls that can shred more than me.
Then if eve being h0t caused problems then every single girl is insecure or dont have any? Anyways... never played that game or will. But girls dont have it. Not like men anyways. Unless... they take some roids and stuff. You can see gabi garcia she is roided af 😂 that does not make anyone insecure she just look like a guy and make pp feel like its unfair for her to fight natural women but i dont care about it also
Eve was unfairly scrutinized, Abby was changed into a character fans couldnt like or even recognize, reboot Lara was modernized at the cost of what made her appealing (not just in a physical sense).
These are examples, for the most part, are examples where developers should just ignore the demands of the ‘modern audience’. Or outright tell them “Shut up! We can make sexy women in games if we like, you have NO SAY in what we create.”
why 2B is not here? all the supposed "but whole" being added as part of her textures controversy and the clever response of Yoko Taro to all the fanarts about it was top tier!
While the controversy of Rainbow Mika is a very know discussion, but what about our fan favorite Sakura Kasugano? Her first appearance in the Alpha series had impacted the Street Fighter franchise by storm. She is a cute Japanese high school girl who is a tomboy fighter and she is eager to be Ryu’s pupil. They started out to be treated like siblings but Capcom made a weird age gap relationship where teenager falls for someone who is in his 30’s in both SF4 and SF5’s stories. And this cause and unsettling upsets to most western gamers of changing her Character. Hope Sakura can find someone else. Longtime fans prefer Ryu x Chun-Li since the World’s Strongest Woman and Interpol Agent has grown fond of the Eternal Wonderer in Street Fighter 2. There are plenty of fanarts, Chinese comics, mangas, and merchandise of them together is what they’ve loved seeing. Even there is some subtle within each of the game’s stories like taking Ryu out for shopping or saving Chun-Li and Li-Fen from fire with his Haduoken technique. I hope Capcom can make the Ryu x Chun-Li pair canon.
I’m actually surprised seeing Bayonetta isn’t on the list especially how close that IP is with Nintendo and most see that company as the ‘Kid friendly’ one.
We killed every single one part of Joels death except for Abby who avenged her father and community. We got it .. Just not 100% of it. Plus there's gonna be a Part 3 and who knows what happeneds then. Maybe Tommy kills her lol.
@@kittycatwithinternetaccess2356 I "like" Abby (despite killing my favourite character of all time by far) but I also hope she dies in Part 3. I'm ok with her surviving Part 2 but I'm not sure I'm ok with her surviving the next game. We'll see. Tommy is the biggest chance (if it's from somebody known)
The way people threatened Abby's actress is disgusting. I happen to like the character, but I still have love for Ellie and Joel. I don't see the need to choose, especially since they're all fictional.
While the first two reasons regarding Abigail are very good ones, I don’t think the last one is a good one at all. In fact I think it’s absolutely ridiculous… so what if she has muscles? I think it was interesting to see the developers design her character like that to be honest
I think what I hate most about this generation is that people find stuff about older games to complain about...*cough* RE5 *cough* also the fact that people can't handle hot characters in games and the fact that we need games for "modern audiences" ugh just let Fallout happen already 😑 🙄
I suggest that WatchMojo replaces the current announcer with a more credible narrator. Throughout the video, the announcer often downplays controversies in the lists with language that trivializes the topics. Many items on the list deserve criticism, but it seems like the announcer personally enjoyed these games and therefore remained closed-minded about the issues being discussed.
It’s crazy to hate Abby’s muscles because it fits so well with her story…Of course she would spent the rest of her life getting jacked af so she could stand a chance against this lunatic that’s been out there killing 100s of people
I’m gonna be honest… I don’t view Abby as a controversial character, I mean what did she do to get this reputation? killed the man that killed her father & slaughtered everybody that she knew & how does Ellie respond? By going on a murder spree & kills just about everybody that Abby knew in order to avenge Joel. yet Ellie’s applauded for her actions & Abby is loathed for hers, even though it’s the same action. double standard much.
I remember watching the R Mika EVO ESPN controversy as it happened and thinking the whole thing was stupid. Also, the newer Tomb Raider series is great and playing as Abby in The Last of Us 2 is one of the most interesting things about it and I wish more games would take the risk of forcing the player to walk in the antagonist's shoes.
Abby killed Joel because Joel killed abby's father. Personally I don't blame ellie for sparing her at the end because both these two lost everything. ellie lost Joel and abby lost her father.
And controversy is inevitable, it’s not often that video games doesn’t have some kind of controversy… I’m not a big fan of it myself. Usually a controversial topic is born from a group of people who had an opinion that was decidedly different from the initial reaction of a larger group of people regarding a certain concept or in this case character. That’s all I’m gonna say
I hate how toxic the video game community is at times. Seriously threatening a person who only did the voice/mo cap for a hated character. Hate the character, but not the actor.
I swear ya'll recycle the same lists but make minor tweaks. How many times are you gonna mention Tracer's ass being controversial??? And who the hell CARES anymore?!?!👀
I honestly have no problem with Lara Croft’s sexuality and the changes of her character. It’s fine to not like the rebooted series since 2013. But don’t throw a ton of negative resentments towards Crystal Dynamics due to the fact they redefine the franchise by adding in the survival vibes.
@@mattiasolsson1523 not just games. Lara Croft appeared on a WatchMojo list of movie characters that were needlessly sexualized. It was a movie in which Angelina Jolie portrayed her, and she had a nude scene.
My brother in Christ, even Duke Nukem fans hate Duke Nukem Forever, what the hell are you talking about? Is it that hard to not rage bait in every video talking about controversy?
I’m shocked Raiden from MGS2 wasn’t on here. While people nowadays have grown to like him as a character, the bait-and-switch back at the time of release truly made a lot of Solid Snake fans furious.
So... a guy kill your father,and you just have to leave it like that? Abby is just human and did what she thinks was the the right thing(murder people is never going to being you peace anyway)
The stigma against sexy female characters in games is exasperating. Just because men and women are equal doesn't mean we have to all of a sudden be prudes.
Millions of people love Abby (as a character) even if they don't like her as much as Joel and Ellie. I'm one of them and she literally offed my favourite character of all time (by far) lol.
@@justaguy263 could be both, though it seemed to me like she was mainly trying to stop her nightmares, and she thought killing Joel would do that. She took a different approach after realizing she was wrong. Same for when Ellie abandoned her new family and went to Santa Barbara. Either way, Abby was more justified than Ellie imo.
Look I know that several decisions in TLOUS 2 were very controversial and fans had understandable reasons for the hate towards it but harassing Laura Bailey and sending death threats to her and her son who was a baby during that time, is sick and inhumane! Laura was simply doing her job which btw she did an excellent job voicing her and had nothing to do with the decision to kill Joel. You can blame the writers for those choices but you shouldn’t send death threats to someone just because you don’t like what they do. These are human beings to that were simply doing their jobs on both ends. The same can be said about Erica Lindbeck in 2023 over someone using her voice in an AI video without her consent and to Cristina Vee earlier this year for being an alleged Zionist all because some random asshat made a fake list and they told her to kill herself. I’ve met them and they are the some of the sweetest and kindest people I’ve ever met, all three women didn’t deserve any of the shit that happened to them. They deserve everything for all the characters they’ve brought to life and the joy said characters have brought us over the years. I just hope that someday people will come to their senses and learn to take a second and ask themselves “is this really something to get worked up over?”
It's shameful that people will get upset over a game character over the smallest of things. Can't anyone be happy with how that character looks or acts?
Abby’s muscles being that their comedically over the top and yet no one acknowledges that fact that they look like SpongeBob’s inflatable muscle arms “the anchor arms”
Abby caused the most uproar. She took out Joel and then they made us play as her? On top of that… I don’t understand her. How is she that big if they are rationing food during an apocalyptic time? Also… why does RUclips still allow the naughty scene to be played with no blur? 🤨 suspicious??
Eve was literally modeled after a real life Asian woman, those people who say that the developers have never seen a real woman before are looking extremely foolish.

I’m actually surprised seeing Bayonetta isn’t on the list especially how close that IP is with Nintendo and most see that company as the ‘Kid friendly’ one.
we never got justice for joel!
We killed every single one part of Joels death except for Abby who avenged her father and community.
We got it .. Just not 100% of it.
Plus there's gonna be a Part 3 and who knows what happeneds then. Maybe Tommy kills her lol.
@@misterhoobomaster we can only hope
@@kittycatwithinternetaccess2356 I "like" Abby (despite killing my favourite character of all time by far) but I also hope she dies in Part 3.
I'm ok with her surviving Part 2 but I'm not sure I'm ok with her surviving the next game.
We'll see.
Tommy is the biggest chance (if it's from somebody known)
Facts😢
Dragons crown was SOOO GOOD my grandfather even said the sorceress was "very talented"
The way people threatened Abby's actress is disgusting. I happen to like the character, but I still have love for Ellie and Joel. I don't see the need to choose, especially since they're all fictional.
The real villian is people who send the death threat letters to Laura Bailey, also Abby try to save everyone in this chaotic world.
While the first two reasons regarding Abigail are very good ones, I don’t think the last one is a good one at all. In fact I think it’s absolutely ridiculous… so what if she has muscles? I think it was interesting to see the developers design her character like that to be honest
You'd be surprised how many people boycotted the game because they thought (and still think) that Abby is trans when she isn't.
@@misterhoobomaster Oh I see what you mean now… didn’t realize that. Thanks for letting me know
@@misterhoobomasterpretty sad it’s gotten to the point that
Woman have muscles - must be trans
@@TheReaperofHades Definitely sad. Lots of women have muscles. I've seen a lot of women in wrestling that could probably bench press those losers.
@@kingjamos2422 and that’s when you filter to real life. In video games, Zarya from Overwatch makes Abby look slim in comparison.
I think what I hate most about this generation is that people find stuff about older games to complain about...*cough* RE5 *cough* also the fact that people can't handle hot characters in games and the fact that we need games for "modern audiences" ugh just let Fallout happen already 😑 🙄
I suggest that WatchMojo replaces the current announcer with a more credible narrator. Throughout the video, the announcer often downplays controversies in the lists with language that trivializes the topics. Many items on the list deserve criticism, but it seems like the announcer personally enjoyed these games and therefore remained closed-minded about the issues being discussed.
Woketaku is a joke
Was Bridget (Guilty Gear Strive) and Vivian (Paper Mario TTYD) not controversial enough? :/
It’s crazy to hate Abby’s muscles because it fits so well with her story…Of course she would spent the rest of her life getting jacked af so she could stand a chance against this lunatic that’s been out there killing 100s of people
they even gave her acne across her back from shoulder to shoulder. a possible sign of steroid use
The real monster is her father and the Firefly cultists. Seriously, you find someone immune and you immediately want to dissect them?
Really?
Controversy just cos Female characters either had their....stuff showing
Or looked hot
Grow up
Funny thing about duke Nuken, his first 2 games was family friendly run and gun Platformer on pcs , haha
I’m gonna be honest… I don’t view Abby as a controversial character, I mean what did she do to get this reputation? killed the man that killed her father & slaughtered everybody that she knew & how does Ellie respond? By going on a murder spree & kills just about everybody that Abby knew in order to avenge Joel. yet Ellie’s applauded for her actions & Abby is loathed for hers, even though it’s the same action. double standard much.
Nah Ellie sucks in this game too, didn’t pick up the PS vita, no funny jokes or puns, I didn’t even care if she died or lived by the end.
@@TheforealDanDan that’s ok it’s often lonely being right
Mario stomping out the goombas?😂
I remember watching the R Mika EVO ESPN controversy as it happened and thinking the whole thing was stupid. Also, the newer Tomb Raider series is great and playing as Abby in The Last of Us 2 is one of the most interesting things about it and I wish more games would take the risk of forcing the player to walk in the antagonist's shoes.
Abby killed Joel because Joel killed abby's father. Personally I don't blame ellie for sparing her at the end because both these two lost everything. ellie lost Joel and abby lost her father.
And controversy is inevitable, it’s not often that video games doesn’t have some kind of controversy… I’m not a big fan of it myself. Usually a controversial topic is born from a group of people who had an opinion that was decidedly different from the initial reaction of a larger group of people regarding a certain concept or in this case character.
That’s all I’m gonna say
Oh....and i like the character of Abby and found her and her arc believable, for all other parts than how quick she turned on her own.
How did cammy passed Nintendo
Censorship?
I hate how toxic the video game community is at times. Seriously threatening a person who only did the voice/mo cap for a hated character. Hate the character, but not the actor.
Today the fanbase continuity getting worse. All the death threat letters is the true villains here.
I swear ya'll recycle the same lists but make minor tweaks.
How many times are you gonna mention Tracer's ass being controversial???
And who the hell CARES anymore?!?!👀
I honestly have no problem with Lara Croft’s sexuality and the changes of her character. It’s fine to not like the rebooted series since 2013. But don’t throw a ton of negative resentments towards Crystal Dynamics due to the fact they redefine the franchise by adding in the survival vibes.
Everytime Tomb raider is on a controversial list from Mojoplays, they always gonna mention her sexy realistic design not in a good way.
@@mattiasolsson1523 Maybe Mojoplay had the wrong idea about Lara.
@@mattiasolsson1523 not just games. Lara Croft appeared on a WatchMojo list of movie characters that were needlessly sexualized. It was a movie in which Angelina Jolie portrayed her, and she had a nude scene.
My brother in Christ, even Duke Nukem fans hate Duke Nukem Forever, what the hell are you talking about? Is it that hard to not rage bait in every video talking about controversy?
1)the postal guy.
2)every GTA protagonist.
3)hatred guy.
I’m shocked Raiden from MGS2 wasn’t on here. While people nowadays have grown to like him as a character, the bait-and-switch back at the time of release truly made a lot of Solid Snake fans furious.
If it was me, I would just say "if you don't like it, don't buy it"
But then when we don't buy we're labeled racist and sexist.
Abby was a complex character
And a delight to play. I enjoyed the first game. But #2 game was a masterpiece in storytelling. 🤓🤙
Said no one ever.
Damn this dude has zero charisma and life in his voice
9:29 She purposely made her design on purpose that way. i think it was because she wasn't attractive with muscles.
Everybody in the comments fighting
over Abbey.😂👇
I remember when people criticized Christ Redfield’s looks in RE5 and RE7.
So... a guy kill your father,and you just have to leave it like that?
Abby is just human and did what she thinks was the the right thing(murder people is never going to being you peace anyway)
Abby was full of hatred so she can’t forgive Joel for killing her father, same when she killed Joel that we can’t forgive her acording the fanbase.
@@mattiasolsson1523 there is not innocent people in the last of us
The Tracer change always make my eyes roll
I’ll take hot characters like Eve, Quiet, Rainbow Mika and Classic Lara Croft over ugly ass ones like Abby.
Same and I’m saying this as a woman🙋🏽♀️😊
I don't mind either way.
Me too.
Ugly on the inside and out
Not to mention Litchi Faye-Ling from the BlazBlue series.
The stigma against sexy female characters in games is exasperating. Just because men and women are equal doesn't mean we have to all of a sudden be prudes.
Not true I have heard a lot great things about Abby
by a few
Millions of people love Abby (as a character) even if they don't like her as much as Joel and Ellie.
I'm one of them and she literally offed my favourite character of all time (by far) lol.
I know killing Joel was heartbreaking for us and Ellie, Abby’s goal is to save everyone from the dangerous chaotic world.
@@mattiasolsson1523 Nope... She just wanted to avenge her father, and she realized later how much she has lost because of that
@@justaguy263 could be both, though it seemed to me like she was mainly trying to stop her nightmares, and she thought killing Joel would do that. She took a different approach after realizing she was wrong. Same for when Ellie abandoned her new family and went to Santa Barbara.
Either way, Abby was more justified than Ellie imo.
Look I know that several decisions in TLOUS 2 were very controversial and fans had understandable reasons for the hate towards it but harassing Laura Bailey and sending death threats to her and her son who was a baby during that time, is sick and inhumane! Laura was simply doing her job which btw she did an excellent job voicing her and had nothing to do with the decision to kill Joel. You can blame the writers for those choices but you shouldn’t send death threats to someone just because you don’t like what they do. These are human beings to that were simply doing their jobs on both ends. The same can be said about Erica Lindbeck in 2023 over someone using her voice in an AI video without her consent and to Cristina Vee earlier this year for being an alleged Zionist all because some random asshat made a fake list and they told her to kill herself. I’ve met them and they are the some of the sweetest and kindest people I’ve ever met, all three women didn’t deserve any of the shit that happened to them. They deserve everything for all the characters they’ve brought to life and the joy said characters have brought us over the years. I just hope that someday people will come to their senses and learn to take a second and ask themselves “is this really something to get worked up over?”
Interesting facts
I just hated Abby cause she killed Joel 😮
Eve is soooo offensive, i will never recover
It's shameful that people will get upset over a game character over the smallest of things. Can't anyone be happy with how that character looks or acts?
People complain about everything just play the game and have fun 🎮 good list
I remember R. Mika cheek slap
I honestly thought the Pokémon Jynx would be on here for obvious reasons
Yeah a lot of people were upset about the Juliet Sterling from Lollipop Chainsaw
I love how all but 1 person on this list are all Females 😂
Abby’s muscles being that their comedically over the top and yet no one acknowledges that fact that they look like SpongeBob’s inflatable muscle arms “the anchor arms”
Abby caused the most uproar. She took out Joel and then they made us play as her? On top of that… I don’t understand her. How is she that big if they are rationing food during an apocalyptic time? Also… why does RUclips still allow the naughty scene to be played with no blur? 🤨 suspicious??
Mmmm…I can understand the controversy around “Quiet”. It’s a ridiculous design for a military game.
This was a list of Top 10 unnecessary overreactions 😂
When activists have an opinion that's when things are always controversial.
I like Abby's character
wow I didnt expect to see Eve up here lol
