Abby’s voice from The Last of Us Part 2 is the target of online bullying. She turned to Twitter in an attempt to stop this madness.
The internet can be a dark and sinister place. Users receive anonymity on certain platforms, which can lead to horrible behavior. This is the case in the current wave of hatred that is thrown towards the voice actress Laura Bailey. Her role as Abby in The Last of Us Part 2 has sparked the ire of some of the worst people on the internet, and they’re taking it too far as only a rebellious online mob can. Laura shared some of the death threats she has been receiving online in a tweet earlier today. Take a look at the insert below.
Man. I try to post only positive things here … but sometimes this gets a little overwhelming. I deleted some of the words because, you know, spoilers.
Marginal note. Thanks to all the people who sent me positive messages to balance it. It means more than I can say .❤️ pic.twitter.com/kGyULWPpNu

No one should have to endure this level of hatred online or in person. It seems that most of the comments revolve around the character he played in The Last of Us Part 2. That’s right, a fictional character in an invented world. These people are willing to tell voice actor Laura Bailey that they will kill her.
About a video game.
Our own Josh Hawkins reviewed the game and also sat down to talk about some of the big events in the game that have divided the community. Be sure to check out Josh’s feature, The Last of Us, I didn’t need a sequel, but I’m glad we have one to read more on that topic.
The Last of Us Part 2 has been bombarded by a cohort of players who are very upset about something that happened in the game. This is likely exacerbated by the leaking of the game earlier this year. It’s really unfortunate that all of this is happening as Laura’s performance is truly a highlight in one of the best games to be released this year. It would be nice if the Internet stopped being terrible for a minute. It’s not like that?
