r/OutOfTheLoop on Reddit: What's The Deal With All The Bella Ramsey Hate?
May 8, 2025 -
I haven't played either of The Last Of Us games or seen the TV series bar a few clips but even as somebody not in the fandom, I can see there is an absolutely baffling level of hate towards Bella Ramsey.
Yes she doesn't look like the video game model for Ellie and from online comments I can see people think she was miscast but the response from some corners is just really nasty and personal, with people screen-grabbing awkward frames of her during action scenes as some kind of 'gotcha' that she's a bad actress, and Photoshopping her as everything from a foot to a potato to Pope Francis to a Beluga Whale.
I know she identifies as non-binary and is autistic so I suppose there could be some degree of prejudice from some people but personally I liked her in Game Of Thrones and she has two Children's BAFTAs so clearly she's got something. Plus in interviews, she generally comes across as humble, intelligent and likeable.
Is it really just her appearance causing this level of hate?

Answer: Every other answer you see on here has some truth in it. Some people are just dipshits who hate her because they think she's ugly. Some people hated the "woke" game and now the "woke" show. Some people just honestly don't think she was the correct casting choice for the character for rationally objective reasons. Some people have had no problem with her in the role and liked her during the first season, but have felt both her acting and the show's writing have dipped dramatically in season two. As far as the people making the memes you're talking about? Those are definitely the first two answers.

Answer: Two provisos. 1) This behaviour is never acceptable no matter the target or the volume of hurtful comments but 2) This isn’t unique to Bella. It happens all the time and isn’t as widespread as it can sometimes feel. So whilst keeping point 1) in mind, just remember that this is under 1% of the people aware of Bella and their work. We're seeing a microcosm of it here. At the time of this edit my answer has 460 upvotes, 20+ replies and maybe just 3 or 4 you could class as rude or aggressive But specific to their case: Bella Ramsey was cast as Ellie in the HBO drama adaptation of The Last of Us. They play a character that we meet at 13 and follow until her late teens/early 20s. The character was originally played by Ashley Johnson. The hate campaign is revolving largely around their lack of resemblance to the character, and often people say they looked too old to play her when the character was 13-14, and now looks too young to play her at 19-20. I am not going to make any comments on the attractiveness of Bella Ramsey. It’s irrelevant to their acting ability and to the character of Ellie, who wouldn’t need to have an “attractive” actor playing her, it doesn’t play into her story. There’s nothing deeper to it other than their lack of resemblance to the character being used to justify attacks on them. By all metrics they are playing the character well and the adaptation is faithful and well executed (though never above civilised, constructive criticism). EDIT: Getting some pushback on my "by all metrics" remark. I'll concede that's poor wording, you can't really have an objective final word on anything artistic. But in this instance I mean Metacritic and Rotten Tomato scores, which again aren't perfect but it's some of the only data we have. Reviewer scores are good, user scores are middling but when you dig into the data very, very few of the one star reviews have anything to say about the show, it's all just "this show is bad".
