They’re only 21 right now and was only 17 while filming the last of us. They’re young very young just starting their life and they’re well a human being and was only a teenager while filming that damn show!
I find it absolutely disgusting the amount of hate I see grown men be posting about Bella. So they’re not attractive according to our current society’s standard so what I wasn’t aware that you had to be sexy to play a child from a video game? And you know what who is anyone to say that Bella isn’t beautiful! Beauty is subjective and beauty standards change like weekly. Also may I add that y’all love to say you love natural beauty and hate plastic surgery but also love to bully peoples looks on the internet…?
Also might I add that Bella is apart of the LGBT+ community and with us our fashion is different and so are what we find attractive I mention this because I’ve also seen hate for their fashion choices like y’all don’t even know how good their outfits are bc y’all aren’t apart of that.
I have seen the argument that she doesn’t look like her video game character counterpart and that’s true but also does it really matter? She has the clothes and the hair and the vibe and video games aren’t real btw and she’s a good actress. But also are you telling me that say you’re 17 and you’ve just been offered the huge acting role are you gonna turn it down? Say oops sorry I don’t look like that.
Lastly I don’t see anyone talking about what all this online bullying could do to the mental health of this young sweet actor. Can you imagine being that age and having thousands of people on the internet calling you ugly? It’s extremely hurtful and y’all have no idea what they could be going through right now and it’s been going on for years!
Just stfu if you have nothing nice to say about Bella like they’re so unproblematic and sweet and humble? Maybe watch an interview of Bella or one of their ukulele vidoes to get it into your mind that that’s a real person with real feelings just starting out in life.

The Last of Us game fandom is so notorious, I think this is basically what I would expect. IDK if Bella Ramsey did any research for the role before accepting it but hopefully they had some idea of what they were signing up for.
Funnily enough we don’t see the same amount of hate for Pedro even though he doesn’t resemble his character in the video game either. Nor does Kaitlyn Dever.
That said, they both are great at their role. Just look at scene by scene comparisons with the game.
It’s the child actor curse. Cute kids don’t necessarily make cute adults. So many tragic child actor stories in Hollywood
(I have not played the games)
I think Bella is doing an amazing job as Ellie. . . however, I also can’t take them serious in the role because they look so so so young.
But again, they’re doing an amazing job in their role, plan on watching weekly.
guys have always and will always be gross. Remember when ‘Stranger Things’ came out? There were newspaper articles with a calendar counting down when Natalie Portman and Britney Spears were going to turn 18, like 30 years ago.
Can’t just enjoy a thing without it turning sexual. Fucking sad.
It is not Bella’s job as an actor playing Ellie to make you want to have sex with them.
Same..people are cruel
The hate goes way too far but they are very wrong for the role and not a great actor. Come on stop acting like they are some baby that can’t get criticized. Bella is an adult.
For some reason I keep getting recommended posts from the TLOU2 subreddit and it’s just a bunch of people trying to convince themselves that it’s okay to hate Bella as Ellie based on her acting and looks because “she just doesn’t fit the character.” The echo chamber is pretty sad at this point.
Firstly: Bella has been SO SICK this season. Literally had to pause on Episode 3. And I agree with you 100% on her mental health. I can’t even begin to imagine what she’s going through.
Second: I do think it’s a stretch to label people not thrilled by the casting as pedophiles. A lot of characters got flack for casting.
Kaytlin got it.
Rutina got it.
Even Gabriel got it.
Also Ellie was clearly a lesbian since the first game and has always dressed like that, so im not too sure what you mean at that point in your post. Her attire has never been a topic of vitriol.
I think making fun of her is wrong, but the kiddy d*ddler narrative is kind of a lot.
They are such a good Ellie. I don´t see the problem lol I almost like them better.
So they use they now?
I hate all the hate for her. She’s a fantastic actress.
I’m not sure how much closer you can get to a video game character?? Teen, petite, brown hair, pony tail.
People are idiots.
Men hate everyone because they are jealous and know they have zero chance with these wonderful actresses.
Look at Millie Bobby Brown who is conventionally attractive and routinely torn apart for her looks by the media. Saying she’s aging poorly (she’s 21 for God sakes) to the point where she had to speak out about the impact it has had on her mental health. For both being sexualized she was like 12 and then bullying her for not staying youthful.
There is no winning. Because neck beards are going to find some way to drag successful women down, regardless of what they look like.
I understand why people wouldn’t be happy with her cast as Ellie but also people need to spend more time outside if she’s still getting grief. Take it to whoever cast Bella if you are really that bothered. Can’t blame a person for taking such an opportunity when it comes to them. Not this much.
These same people constantly pull the “it’s not about attractiveness, it’s about likeness🤓” while only ever commenting on Bella and not the other actors where 9/10 are literally not even the same race, but they’re conveniently attractive.
Protect Hilda!
