      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

          Replying to @arthur_affect

          I'm starting to wonder if Druckmann anticipated this backlash more than he expected and specifically included the lesbian pulp novella (which anyone who's read queer history or the PulpLibrarian account on here knows has to end with a lecture on the immorality of the characters)

          Replying to @BootlegGirl @arthur_affect

          This is the thing people are trying to call me unhinged for saying, that as soon as queer content shows up in media, it becomes expected to be didactic. Originally, it had to be homophobic didactic, hence classic BYG. But now it can be about Teaching Good Morals.
