Naughty Dog veteran Kurt Margenau took to Twitter to lament toxic behavior displayed by the gaming community, especially towards vulnerable groups.
In response to a Kotaku article that interviewed popular streamer Emme ?Negaoryx? Montgomery and highlighted the abuse and death threats she continues to receive, Margenau said that ?we can never overestimate how hard it is to be a woman in this industry.? With reference to The Last of Us Part II, Margenau said that a lot of the abuse and threats that Naughty Dog received from angry gamers were directed at developers who belong to vulnerable groups. He wrote:
