The Homophobic Misfire of Ben Shapiro's 'The Last of Us' Criticism Ben Shapiro, co founder of the Daily Wire and conservative commentator, recently demonstrated a staggering lack of understanding in his critique of Nick Offerman's character in HBO's The Last of Us.
In a cringeworthy display, Shapiro reduced Offerman's nuanced portrayal of Bill to a simplistic "gay Ron Swanson," implying that the actor was playing a caricatured version of himself.
This misfire is not merely a gaffe; it speaks to a pervasive discomfort with LGBTQ+ representation in media, particularly when it comes to men and masculinity.
