Bloodborne Has No Subtext

Bro really took Gehrman's words to heart. Bloodborne is at its core about stopping a beast plague by killing as many of them as you can before you eventually wake up, you're a hunter, the entire plot does not consist of "motherhood, girls, and women" that's blatantly false, stop with the feminism bullshit "You're sure to be in a fine haze about now, but don't think too hard about all of this." "Just go out and kill a few beasts. It's for your own good." "You know, it's just what hunters do! You'll get used to it..." Villain: Don't think too hard about what you're doing. Heh heh heh..... Player: See? Bloodborne has no subtext

The meme shows a screenshot of Bloodborne dialogue paired with a post insisting that the game has no feminist or gender-related subtext. A villain tells the player not to think too hard, and the player jokingly treats this as proof that the game has no subtext, even though the exchange itself is clearly satirical and loaded with irony.
