Bella Ramsey isn't concerned with the culture war over queer characters in The Last of Us.

Ramsey, who plays Ellie in the series based on the hit videogame, recently told British GQ that backlash over a gay relationship in the show is disappointing, especially with how beautifully she believes it was portrayed.

Episode three of the series showcases the romance between Bill and Frank (Nick Offerman and Murray Bartlett), a story Ramsey found incredibly touching.

“I love that episode," she said. "I was on the verge of tears throughout it, and cried at the bit in the montage when they got married."

Despite receiving critical acclaim, the episode was also review-bombed online, with several posters giving the show negative ratings simply because of its queer representation.

The Last of Us has been renewed for a season two, which is said to follow the events of the game's sequel, The Last of Us Part II, which explores Ellie's sexuality and introduces a transgender character.

Though Ramsey continued to say she's not worried about the backlash that may follow when the series introduces more queer stories.

“I’m not particularly anxious about it. I know people will think what they want to think," she said. "But they’re gonna have to get used to it. If you don’t want to watch the show because it has gay storylines, because it has a trans character, that’s on you, and you’re missing out.”

Ramsey, who is genderfluid and opted to use she/her pronouns for the interview, added that she's discussed gender and sexuality at lengths with her co-star, Pedro Pascal, who has been vocal in his support for his transgender sister.

"They weren’t always deep: they could be funny and humorous, the whole spectrum," Ramsey said. "We were just very honest and open with each other.”

Though Ramsey doesn't identify as a woman, she says portraying women characters is fun as an actor because it provides her the opportunity to explore different mentalities and experiences.

“This is what bothers me more than pronouns: being called a ‘young woman’ or a ‘powerful young woman’, ‘young lady,’ but I'm just not," she explained, continuing, "Playing these more feminine characters is a chance to be something so opposite to myself, and it’s really fun.”

Ramsey said she is not scared to be her authentic self as The Last of Us progresses.

“It isn’t gonna make me afraid," she stated. "I think that comes from a place of defiance.”
