“The Last of Us” newcomer Storm Reid “will never understand” the homophobic backlash to the hit HBO series inspired by the video game of the same name.
In an interview with Variety published on Sunday, Reid preemptively dismissed anyone who might take issue with the young-love story at the heart of her debut episode. Her remarks echoed those of her “Last of Us” co-star, Bella Ramsey, who previously told GQ that haters who disapprove of the show’s LGBTQ storylines are “missing out.”
“I think Bella put it perfectly a couple of weeks ago: ‘If you don’t like it, don’t watch,’” Reid told Variety.
