As Bella said when episode 3 came out: if you don’t like it, don’t watch it,” Reid explains in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. “We are telling important stories. We are telling stories of people’s experiences and that’s what I live for. That’s what makes a good story because we’re telling stories of people who are taking up space in the world.
Bella Ramsey already talked about homophobic people who are criticizing The Last of Us for only introducing LGBTQ+ characters in an interview with British GQ:
I know people will think what they want to think. But they will have to get used to it,” explains Ramsey. If you don’t want to watch the series because it has LGBT stories, because it has a trans character, that’s up to you and you’re missing out.

Regarding the relationship between Riley and Ellie, Storm Reid has some advice for those who are homophobic and don’t see further:
It’s 2023. If you’re worried about who I love, then I need you to get your priorities straight. There are so many other things to worry about in life. Why are you worried about these girls or anyone loving each other? Love is beautiful and the fact that people have things to say about it is just silly.
