      Arthur Chu Retweeted Polygon

      God there's layers of frustration here The author doesn't like the idea that a good person can do bad things and still be the good guy? But then slams Bioshock Infinite for saying Daisy Fitzroy and Comstock are the same? BUT THAT'S WHY IT SAYS THAT THEY AGREE WITH YOUhttps://twitter.com/Polygon/status/1290338042822242304 …

      The author never actually defines what the hell they mean by "black-and-white morality" and what makes it different from "gray morality" Because, guess what, "killing another person is always wrong, and therefore all killers are the same" IS BLACK AND WHITE MORALITY

      From the POV of someone who actually believes that and applies it consistently, rooting for Daisy Fitzroy IS the "gray" morality "Violence is bad, but the world is complicated, so sometimes it's okay" And they'd then dismiss your explanations as "shades of gray"

      It's just fucking asinine It's not that some people simply refuse to do the right thing because of a perverse weakness, an unwillingness to commit (a very Christian idea of what sin is, which is why it discomforts me) They DISAGREE ON WHAT RIGHT AND WRONG ARE

      Acknowledging that isn't "morally gray", it's just acknowledging reality I'm not saying the other people are right, or that I agree with them, or even that I tolerate them and I wouldn't shoot them to stop them, if it came to that But I understand that's how they think

          Christ, that's why they misread The Last of Us so fucking badly They say it's a story about a hero who gives in to evil at the last minute and expects us to continue sympathizing with him despite his lapse into sin It's the OPPOSITE of that

          Joel is an asshole throughout the entirety of the previous parts of the game who only slowly comes to give a shit about morality again over time From his perspective, his betrayal of the Fireflies is the first *truly* good thing he's done since after the prologue

          You don't have to agree that what he did was objectively right -- in fact the game kind of expects you not to That's why it's interesting, two different moral systems clash, it causes arguments to erupt among people who've played it

          What matters more, the chance to save the world or to save the one person you care about? Which direction do you send the trolley? That's why it's *dramatically interesting*, that Joel fully becomes a hero to some at the moment he becomes a monster to others

          He could be a "good guy" in the eyes of the Fireflies if he WEREN'T GOOD They hired him because they thought he was an amoral mercenary who takes orders and gets paid And if he were that, then from a utilitarian POV the greatest good for greatest number could be accomplished

          It is because of the whims of individual conscience, of a single person discovering he really cares about something and is unwilling to compromise to social pressure, that the world is damned That's the point Do you even dramatic irony bro

          Jesus Christ if that's what you mean by "morally gray" being bad then I'm out I don't know how you would revise The Last of Us to be an edifying "black and white" story but compared to the actual ending it would be an obvious, stupid cop-out

          ("It is *morally correct* that the cure could not have worked and Jerry was delusional! MORALITY demands that we rewrite the setting so this is true!" Or "It is *morally correct* that saving Ellie is wrong so it can't work -- she must immediately die anyway")

          Same fucking logic where the moral guardians would demand that if you showed someone cheating on their spouse, the new relationship would have to turn out abusive and tragic so people wouldn't get the wrong idea Garbage
