What game or scene in a game took you the longest time before you understood the meaning behind it? (alien.top)

When I was young and had a super nintendo I loved playing Super Mario RPG.

I'm playing the remake and I'm at the scene after defeating Valentina. Mallow goes into the castle and Mario was left standing outside.

Back then I didn't know why Mario pulled out an umbrella and it rained. I just realised after 20 years of playing the original that Mario knew it was going to rain because whenever Mallow cries it rains; Mario knew that Mallow would get all emotional when meeting his parents for the first time.

Blew my mind.

I think I'm a real idiot for this but my first playthrough of The Last of Us Part II I didn't realize that Lev was trans. I just thought he shaved his head before he was a man, because he was like 12 or something and you're not a man at that age. I somehow missed that, and that he was supposed to be an elder's wife which maybe I missed or just forgot but should have been a pretty clear sign. I didn't know why everyone was all pissed off about the "woke trans agenda" people were saying was shoved down their throats. Who gives a shit that there's a trans character? That's definitely a relevant topic today so for people who played a series that previously dealt with homosexuality shouldn't be surprised that they talked about being trans as well.

I think its becuse it was only really the past five years when people started to think having any trans person meant "Pushing a agenda", If it came out in 2014 or something I don't think people would complain as much

People were upset about Borderlands:TPS shoving gay and girl power agenda down our throats in 2014.

Yes but it was much less wide spread on the internet, and typically it was from people who had no credibility or were already hated
