The 'Yellowjackets' star was all about the accusation ahead of her appearance in episode four of the hit HBO show.

Last Sunday's episode of The Last of Us had everyone talking. Many gushed the episode featuring the heart-wrenching love story between Bill and Frank (played by Nick Offerman and Murray Bartlett) was the greatest episode to date.

On the other end, however, homophobes flocked to review sites by the masses to share their disapproval of the episode, going as far as leaving one-star reviews on rating sites like IMDB.


Well, HBO released the trailer for the upcoming episode (E4) which features Melanie Lynskey as Kathleen, the ruthless leader of a Kansas City revolutionary movement. The bigots of course have something to say before even seeing the full episode.

Twitter account Bloody Disgusting posted the trailer along with the question, "What can you expect from this Sunday's episode of #TheLastofUs?"

They added:

"For starters, Melanie Lynskey!"

Sadly, the hate has already begun.

One person commented:

"More homosexual agenda pushing..."

Oh no, another fragile person traumatized because LGBTQ+ people exist.

Lynskey, however, hilariously responded to the negative comment as positive praise.

She tweeted:

"OMG yes let me push that homosexual agenda just by showing up!"
"An honour!"

To the dismay of triggered one-star reviewers everywhere, the twitterverse celebrated Lynskey's cheeky response and added their two cents as well.

GLAAD found it quite hilarious.

Supergirl actor Nicole Maines had her own superhero name for Lysnkey.

Other users applauded the Yellowjackets star's response and even had some of their own.










Lysnkey's episode airs Sunday on HBO.

We'll definitely be tuning in.

Even Trump's NASA Director Had To Set Kim Kardashian Straight After She Said The Moon Landing 'Didn't Happen'

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy—who is also NASA's Acting Administrator—issued the weirdest fact-check ever when he corrected reality star Kim Kardashian after she revealed herself to be a moon landing conspiracist.

Conspiracy theorists have long alleged the moon landing was fabricated by NASA in what they claim was an elaborate hoax—and Kardashian certainly made it clear where she stands in a video speaking to co-star Sarah Paulson on the set of the new Hulu drama All’s Fair.

For the average person, there isn't generally a lot of excess money to spend frivolously when they're a child, so when they hit their twenties and have their first "real" or "more important" job, they might find themselves in a position to enjoy some of the finer things in life.

Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, was speaking with Fox News host Jesse Watters when he donned a face mask and said he'd be going as a "r**ard" for Halloween. Watters had guessed he was dressed as Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who spearheaded the nation's COVID-19 pandemic response.
