Joel being a murderously toxic father figure that lies to his daughter figure and potentially dooms the human race under pretense of "protecting" her with some extra murder :so-true:
Joel being a piece of shit eventually catches up with him and karma whacks him with a golf club :wojak-nooo:
Mention of SA in the context of edgy gamer bullshit
It's especially ridiculous because I remember a reddit post years ago where the toxic side of TLOU community were all soyfacing about how in a world so brutal it would be totally unrealistic for the Fireflies to have a woman as a leader because women would all be breeding stock, and that in an apocalyptic setting anyone should be able to die horribly, and then their vidya game stoic father figure gets got and they're all super upset about it and talking about how unfair it is.
This is beside the point, but I stand by that even if it’s possible they would’ve had to kill Ellie to make a cure, they had no way of knowing that yet and really all they were going to do was kill a child and destroy any hope of ever making a cure. That was the kind of research that would’ve needed a large team and years of study, you don’t just go straight to “well let’s get that brain out shall we!”

When I had my issues about the no-choice asshole ending in TLOU1, I was told "when you're a father you will understand" which is some bullshit.
"Because zombies, let's be edgy sociopathic assholes" was a horrid pop cultural phenomenon for too many years.
