On the one hand it's an inspiring story of hope and escapist fantasy to cling to for members of the underclass who have never seen power wielded other than to oppress etc etc etc On the other hand, it's *fucked up*

(That's slightly unfair, since after all this is all fiction anyway Even so though It's a trite point but I think it's a true one -- if showing you a full biopic about this enemy soldier's life would make it unacceptable to kill him, then you need to quit the Army)

It's just, like Sure, if I try to rub your nose in every negative moral consequence your choices have, after a certain point I'm being an asshole We all need a little bit of obliviousness to get through the day But it's not a good look to be *that* allergic to knowing things

Yup! On the other hand it also is itself a very artificial thing, because it's demanding the player have a higher sense of empathy & humanization than literally any participant in the plot. So it's a bit of a wash.

Like this is the really big cheat for at least softhearted people like me. The game *doesn't* let you slip into Ellie's head. At all. Ellie is a killer. She has been killing since she was a young teen. Almost everyone in her world is a killer. She *is used to it*.
