>game has to retroactively make Joel 'le bad guy' by killing whatsherface's dad to justify its own existence
He was always a bad guy, you'd have known that if you played the first game. It's not spelled out directly but you're given enough clues about it (nuance is lost on morons)
>Ellie goes on a retarded murderhobo spree just to kill whatsherface only for the game to hit you with 'revenge is le bad' after murdering hundreds of dudes
She most certainly does not spare Abby because "revenge is bad", that's just a moral you come up with because you didn't understand the story and its themes and because it's easier for you to attack it from that (made up) angle
>forced Jewish persecution bullshit and trannydykefag bullshit in the post-apocalypse when these are very first-world problems that anyone with common sense would realize stop being significant issues when you're trying not to die to fungus zombies or bandit rapists
You get one (1) optional conversation with Dina about Jews getting killed and another (optional) letter where a rabbi reminds of the good will of other people that allowed him and his family to survive. Is that what you call "persecution bullshit"? Are you going to claim Jews weren't persecuted for hundreds of years (earliest pogroms took place in the 12th century iirc)?
Also Lev's story is less about gender and more about the role in a society. I know of at least one right-wing YT grifter who admitted that it was done quite tastefully
