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.

Elon Musk Dragged After Showing Off His Juvenile Fake Police Badge Declaring Himself 'The Dogefather'

Billionaire Elon Musk was widely ridiculed after sharing a photo of his fake law enforcement badge—complete with the badge number "69420"—that declares him "The Dogefather," flexing his authority as the leader of the advisory Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which is at the center of the ongoing slash-and-burn approach to gutting federal spending.

Musk appeared positively thrilled when he shared the photo—perhaps the most cringey thing he's done, at least thus far, since attaining unprecedented political power.

'Wuthering Heights' Film Casting Director Irks Fans After Justifying Casting Decisions By Claiming 'It's Just A Book'

It was recently announced that Wuthering Heights, the 1847 novel by Emily Brontë, is being adapted for the screen at Warner Bros. Pictures. The leading director is Emerald Fennell, and the casting director is Kharmel Cochrane, who was involved in the award-winning Nosferatu and Saltburn.

For those who got through high school and college without having to read the novel, it's a dark, psychological thriller with Gothic horror undertones—and also a love story. That's the power of Emily Brontë, who published just one novel in her lifetime.

Terrence Howard Shares Homophobic Reason He Turned Down Marvin Gaye Biopic Role—And Yikes

Howard told Bill Maher that he turned down the role of a lifetime, playing legendary musician Marvin Gaye in a biopic by director Lee Daniels, once he learned of Gaye's sexuality.

Lindsey Graham Sparks Fury After Suggesting That Trump Could Be The Next Pope

After President Donald Trump jokingly told reporters that he'd "like to be pope" following the death of Pope Francis, South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham threw himself behind Trump's remarks, which came after Trump already raised the ire of critics for seemingly falling asleep at the Pope's funeral.

Trump said that he himself "would be my number one choice" to be the next pope after he was asked who he’d like to see become the next pontiff. That would never, ever happen—and disrespects the billions of Catholics around the world who are in mourning—but Graham suggested it was a good idea in a post on X.
