The TV adaptation of the popular video game “The Last of Us” has created a faithful recreation of its infamous gay porn magazine, known as Bearskin. The portrayal of the magazine has received high praise from fans and LGBTQ+ supporters, who are demanding an Emmy for its accuracy.
In the scene, Ellie brings out the magazine she swiped from Bill’s safe house, which features shirtless men and intriguing photos. The front cover teases segments such as ‘The Men of the Den’ and ‘College Hotties,’ showing the magazine’s editors knew what its target audience wanted.
Twitter user @TomZohar even proposed the creation of a category for the “most faithful recreation of a gay magazine from a video game” and called for Bearskin to be entered. Fans have commended the show for its accuracy to the source material, leading to speculation that it could be a contender for the next Emmy nominations.
