It isnt a big deal in and of itself. If it was an isolated incident I wouldnt think much of it at all, but Sony has replaced almost ALL of their main characters with a protagonist with a better ESG score.
Drake? Replaced in the latest Uncharted title by a brown woman.
Joel? Replaced by a lesbian character, humiliated and beaten to death by a masculine looking female to boot in Last of Us part 2.
Peter Parker? Officially replaced by half black half hispanic Miles at the end of Spider-Man 2.
Jin? Replaced by a female who's voice actor is a woke alphabet cult member.
Even Ratchet had to share time with a female variant of his in Rift Apart.
Add this into making Aloy canonically lesbian in Forbidden West's DLC. Even Kratos might get sidelined for his much less masculine son in the next title.
It isnt an accident and people arent crazy for noticing it.
