Rainn Wilson posted a series of tweets accusing Hollywood of having an "anti-Christian bias." He specifically called out HBO's "The Last of Us" for having a villainous Christian character. Fox News later wrote about his tweets, and Wilson criticized the news agency.

"I do think there is an anti-Christian bias in Hollywood," Wilson posted on Twitter over the weekend. "As soon as the David character in 'The Last of Us' started reading from the Bible I knew that he was going to be a horrific villain. Could there be a Bible-reading preacher on a show who is actually loving and kind?"

Wilson's tweet sparked a lengthy debate on the social media platform with over 3,500 comments piling up in the post's comments section.

Only if he’s homosexual.

Then of course he’s a loving and kind.

Hollywood is no more than 24/7 social-engineering propaganda by leftists. Now all your action heros or strong man roles are filled with women while men stay at home and do the dishes or cower behind the strong female lead character.

Dude could have been a hero, but then he folds like a cheap suit and attacks Christianity himself.

If you need a serious laugh, watch him in Mom 2020 Season 9 Episode 19 Texas Pete and a parking lot carnival. He is hysterical in that episode.

The original 'Last Of Us' was a good and popular video game without any wokeness. The sequel 'Last of Us 2' was totally woke. The hero in the first game (a white man) was brutally killed off (unnecessarily brutal) by the lesbian villain. The girl the hero saved in the first game was a lesbian in the second game and was out to avenge the killing of the former hero. It went all downhill from there. It became more and more ugly, vicious and woke.

My husband and I enjoy story-driven video games, but we swore we would never buy another 'Last of Us' game. Then they came out with the TV show. We have not watched one nanosecond of it.

I’m really tired of zombies. You’d think people would want something new.

IMHO - Hollywood's history has been schizophrenic in how it portrays Christians. Last night I watched Quo Vadas, which portrayed an evil Nero, a godly St. Peter and the innocent Christian martyrs he tortured and murdered. On the other hand, Hollywood has produced a number of movies where the Christian character(s) is portrayed as evil, legalistic, mean and hypocritical. Old Hollywood portrayed Christians as virtuous or vile depending on the movie.

Sadly, I see today's Hollywood (producers/directors/actors) and its products as mostly anti-Christian.

“most Christians that I know are kind, accepting and loving and seeking to make the world a better place. “

Which the bible is clear they cannot and will not do.

They can help lead others to Christ and the life and afterlife benefits of that, making life better for individuals. But “save the world”. The bible is clear, the world will increasingly be setting itself against Christ until the final battle between Satan and Christ is totally out in the open for the world to see, which they will, and then Christ will end this world as we know it. You can be saved, the world cannot be.

She was a lesbian in the first one.

The show became a caricature of wokeness. I watched them all…and laughed.

You have to remind yourself that the premise of the story is zombies with mushroom heads. And that’s the “peak.” It merely spirals down from there.

There are 2 “affinity groups” that hate Christianity. One of the groups comprises a large minority, if not the majority, of the denizens of that cesspool referred to as ‘Hollywood’. I leave the determination of the identity of that group as an exercise for the reader.
Hint:Members of said group think child sexual grooming is a good thing.

To be fair, it was evident pretty quickly that the “Christian” character of David was a charlatan, a psycho, and…

…SPOILER ALERT…

a cannibal.

He would also not be a recurring character.
