    They’re exceptionally upset that the rough-and-tumble female bounty hunter lead character of the 80’s cassette-retro-futurism sci-fi action game isn’t some generic-looking 80’s supermodel type, instead of someone who you’d actually expect to be a space-bounty hunter. I have no doubt Naughty Dog has made another banger game, but sexist coomers are gonna be sexist coomers, and there’s not a whole lot you can do for them.

      Yeah, like when was there ever a heroine in 80s action sci fi that was a no-nonsense rough & tumble ass-kicking type? I can’t think of a single one, let alone multiple iconic characters that headlined my favourite movies from the era.

        First I can think of is Ellen Ripley from Alien and Aliens. Didn’t start out badass or ass-kicking, but sure as shit ended up doing so.

          Her and Sarah Connor were the main ones. T2 wasn’t technically 80s but it’s close, and the character started in the 80s.
