Tomb Raider has a huge, diverse fandom, but Lara Croft has always been especially iconic in queer fan spaces because of her confidence, style, and larger than life vibe. Alix is not wrong by saying that. I really don’t see the problem because there isn’t one.
Lara looks good in Legacy of Atlantis, in my opinion. Tell me that she doesn't look badass in this one.
The story, dialogue, etc., are completely different; we haven't seen any of that yet. It just doesn't sound very promising when the developers say it's for gays.
