      idk, at what point are people allowed to speak up when someone has been shouting falsehoods about them & their work for weeks?

      Nah NitW is bad and even though Ellie feels more strongly about it than I do her analysis is broadly correct

      The big sticking point that got everyone to say she was "lying" -- "She said Mae solves the town's problems by starting a union and that never happens!" -- was itself a misrepresentation

      Ellie was referring, hyperbolically, to Mae talking about her dad getting into organizing at his job in the epilogue, which while it does not "solve everything" is clearly presented as being a glimmer of hope It is the whole tone of the epilogue that she rightly objects to

      Ellie may have been guilty to some degree of hyperbole in her criticism but her own critics were FAR MORE GUILTY She did not in fact say "You're not allowed to portray small towns without showing them to be fundamentalist fascist hellscapes"

      I mean, i disagree here. She very definitely has said exactly that. Hell, i probably have at least one screencap of her saying that everyone who lives in rural America should be FORCIBLY RELOCATED TO A CITY.

      Years later, in another context, when she was losing her temper at yet another news article about federal farm subsidies going to prop up failing rural communities

      Years later, yes. I think there's an important throughline though, which is that she is so angry about her personal small-town experiences that she cannot even tolerate the idea of them continuing to exist.

      It's not just about that, it's not like small town *aesthetics* are a "trauma trigger" like she's upset about tractors and the smell of compost and shit It's some pretty fundamental stuff that people in our society don't question but is deeply fucked up

      The way low density and isolation fundamentally rob human beings of *freedom of choice*, that they enable petty tyranny -- every man's home is his castle, and therefore every man a tinpot dictator over his household

      Something that, in theory, is the whole thing NitW is about -- the bittersweetness of being lost and alone and forgotten etc etc -- but that Ellie is right to be angry about because the game very much *does* softpedal the issue

          I am completely on board with her hobbyhorse about how a twisted consequence of "diversity mandates" in casting and the uwu Internet culture of saying "portraying trauma is causing trauma" is a whitewashing of what society is still actually like

          The reluctance to just go black-and-white morality and show how bad things actually still are To censor out the actual gay-bashing and open phobia and discrimination and the people still living whole lives in the closet
