Your tags in that trauma depiction post, the difference between Joel's murdering spree in tlou1 and Ellie's in tlou2, and the reactions from gamers who could accept one but not the other. Not realising essentially they have both created trauma but also failing at dealing with their own.
that's interesting bc i didn't think of them as an example!! but you're right, people were so outraged at joel dying for the consequences of his actions, meanwhile ellie is treated like a monster when really she's just a traumatized 19 year old who already lost everyone in her life before joel came along
and abby!! abby is villainized more for her body type than anything else but she's still treated like she's evil despite the amount of people joel killed to get to where he was. i swear people don't have comprehension skills of any kind when it comes to that game.
