Considering she would have otherwise absolutely 100% died, yeah, betrayal is a Bad Deed. Doesn't mean it's not understandable, just that it's contemptible nonetheless.

Dude, you cannot genuinely tell me that Abby “betrayed” Joel. They knew each other for like 10 minutes. And yes, her murder of Joel was obviously bad, just like Joel’s murder of her dad was bad. That’s like the whole point.

"Knowing that I am only alive because this man saved my life for no gain of his own and explicitly offered me and my friends shelter, I then led him to his torture and death." That is WAY THE FUCK WORSE than "you killed my dad while rescuing a girl whom he was about to murder"

Joel also prevented the creation of a cure, presumably killing thousands upon thousands of people. Trying to weigh morality to make judgements on people is exactly what this game is arguing against. Because if you do that, Ellie and Tommy are WAY THE FUCK WORSE than Abby.

Again, I'm just gonna keep saying this. There is a profound difference between killing in self defense or even killing in pursuit of an objective and deliberate entrapment and death.

Joel is to Abby as David is to Ellie. David doesn't get absolution and trust because he helped Ellie with a horde, once he revealed who he was and what he was responsible for. And no, Joel is not the moral wretch that David was, but to Abby he might as well be.

So again, we're back at the whole "Abby is a self-centered person." I really do not actually consider there moral parity, not remotely. Hell if *absolutely* nothing else, Joel killed Jerry, Abby *tortured and killed* Joel.

Are we really just deciding that no one in good faith could've possibly actually believed Jerry's cure would have worked and everyone who supported him in that goal was just a delusional narcissist

Abby isn't the only one who hates Joel, EVERYONE from the Fireflies hates Joel, because Joel destroyed their community, killed the leaders they most admire, and destroyed all hope for the future and damned the human race EVEN ELLIE hates Joel for this

Ellie, herself, is obsessed with the idea of a cure Even if it wouldn't save the world, it would save many, many people she personally knew from the agonizing hell of choosing between suicide and conversion

This is the whole inciting incident that makes her go off to find the truth in the first place
