In a depressingly predictable turn of events, the reveal God of War Laufey came under fire from certain corners of the Internet, as it centres around a female protagonist rather than mad lad turned sad dad Kratos.
Much of this negative reaction has centred around Laufey’s actor Deborah Ann Woll, who also played Laufey in the 2018 reboot. But Woll, who also plays Karen Page in Marvel’s Daredevil and its reboot Daredevil: Born Again, isn’t phased by the impotent rage of misogynistic online trolls:
Woll was asked about the backlash to the game’s reveal by TikTok influencer quinnphobic at Florida Supercon (via Eurogamer) who recorded the actor’s response for TikTok:
“Genuinely, I thought I was going to be much more affected by it, but one, I’m not on social media, so that helps, and two, I don’t know, I feel totally unbothered,” Woll replied. “Because I just know it’s great. It’s okay if it’s not your cup of tea, but in no universe is it bad.”
