i have a feeling this is due to the lgbt characters but im surprised the violence in the game is not getting more attention. i watched a few ppl play this game on twitch and it's really gruesome, it's the kind of game that i think would make a parent/SO/etc feel very uncomfortable if they walked in on you playing it

That was a close one. Young Egyptian people almost found out gay people exist.

"Let's also preserve the rights of Egyptian families not to watch content of this dishonorable type"

That right is easily exercised by not watching or playing the damn thing, you society of bigots

i don't know if they go as far as tossing people off roofs over there, that sounds more like a Syria thing.
but it's very likely they're somewhere relatively high up on the Sharia-scale

Forreal. TLOU3 should take place in Egypt with gay characters as the survivors

"Legitimate ethics and values of Egyptian society"

Is that what they call it? Desert heat must be frying their brains.

I always love the grandiose rhetoric religious groups use to shit talk homosexuality.

Because they know if they just said the reality of "some dudes having sex" everyone would realize how bonkers they sound raging about it. So it becomes "The legitimate values of our strong society won't succum to the impertious vices that harm the fabric of our childrens futures!" crap that doesn't actually mean anything

Christ the game was about zombies eating people's faces and two dudes having sex is what they find wrong

Who cares what a 3rd world country does.

I've heard Egypt is actually quite developed with a much higher quality of life than before so this is disappointing. Although the government is very religious, probably too much for its own good.
