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.

Ngl I was the same exact way. I heard people saying there was a trans character is the Last of Us Part 2 and I was confused thinking maybe it was just a character I somehow missed even tho it's a linear game? And then I learned it was Lev and I genuinely completely missed that when I played it
