To be fair to her, the kind of world that she grew up in was cold, raw, and unforgiving, and the experiences she had most likely made her empathetic to it.
Naughty Dog *does* know how to write, the second game just happened to have some rather unfortunately poor writing, which includes Abby.

The "old man" that you speak of murdered her father and doomed humanity as a whole. Why would she feel remorse for hunting him down and ending him?

Quick, google "Murder" for me and tell me the key word you're missing here.

Mr. Bunce lähetti viestin:

She’s not a normal person in a not normal time. It’s fiction.

Okay, just doing a quick consistency- and sincerity-check.

Say there was a fictional story that plays out in a world very similar to real life where the protagonist is openly racist, sexist, xenophobic, violent, hateful and fascist yet every time they and their values get tested, they are proven right and their viewpoint as universally correct.

Your position on this hypothetical work of fiction would be: "I see nothing wrong with this. That's their character. That's how they are written and supposed to be. They're not a normal person in a not normal time. It's fiction.", and you'd be just as fine with that as with anything else fictitious.

Correct?

Fair position to have, freedom of art and all, just probing if the standard is applied equally.

The public response around this issue is incredibly childish. Abby is a character living in a post apocalyptic world where any stranger may be a legitimate danger. Joel is the man who killed her family. I hate to break this to everybody, but Abby, unlike you, wasn't there to see Joel teach Elle how to play the guitar and all that. Your inability to understand how her character could be the way she is is either disingenuous or coming from the mentally stunted.

Not liking her is understandable, but you all acting like you all would feel morally conflicted about icing the man who murdered your family is kind of disturbing.

Then you’ve played one video game.

Unearthing the Abby dialog with an anti-woke person in 2024 in the dragon age veilguard forums, a game the anti-woke also hate, is so hilariously meta.

Bro just can’t make his logic consistent. What a double standard hypocrite

It's a comment more than a week old and here you are seething about it. Cope harder.

[Stragus Macleod]

Sounds like you you lack the empathy neccessary to understand the character.
By the way, it's spelled "Taash," not "Trash."

So.. you hate them.. 'cause they're nonbinary?

Got it. Moving on.

I think some people just "hate" them because their friends and favourite streamers tell them they should, and they think they can farm awards by telling everyone on the steam forums that they too object to this video game character. It's all very middle school peer pressure stuff.

In reality, this much ire directed at a fictional character is just plain bizarre and creepy.

Yeah, a week went by and you’re still afraid of answering the question

While I have no idea what you're talking about I can't imagine seething this long over what a stranger may or may not have answered on the internet in a video game forum on steam. Exponentially so if you're someone posting in a forum for a game you hate.

I'm horrified that an LGBT writer wrote an LGBT character that has every stereotypical trait that people mock LGBT for.

She's intolerant, loud, aggressive, opinionated, hypocritical etc. My head cannon is that patrick weeks or whatever his name is was a secret trump supporter and this was done to mock.

Seen it mentioned elsewhere too.
But it wasn't a Trump supporter mocking angle it was protest against capitalism and Blackrock angle.
Not that we will ever know for sure.
Trick Weeks might be a deep cover anti trans agent lol.
He even gives a clue to it with his new name "Trick"

[knguyen]

She's the mirror image of that trans game director dude. He inserted himself into the game via this tassh character. See how everyone in the game have to agree with this character? That what he wants in real life, me me me.

Sounds like you could probably relate, then!

Still afraid to answer that question? Since you're still willing to spend your time engaging with me, surely you have time to answer that question? Or are you willing to admit I was right?

Honestly I have no idea what you’re talking about. This is a thread revived after almost two weeks. One of us clearly lives their life and touches grass.

pauloaom lähetti viestin:

Abby from The Last of Us 2 is worse. She never feels any remorse or shame for killing an unarmed old man in cold blood. Normal people would at least feel bad, she doesn't. And you're forced to play her half of the game.

I see nothing wrong with this. That's her character. That's how she's written and supposed to be.

The issue is... in the face of war, let alone world ending conflict against GODS.... the last thing people are going to be thinking about (especially when they're on the front lines) are whether or not they are a male or female or something else in between. Her story is the only story that didn't actually contribute to the overall plot.
