The “Why can’t we all just get along and forgive one another instead of taking revenge?” is a position that only benefits the oppressor. We’ve seen what happens when slave owners and nazis were forgiven and they’ve done nothing but fester and spread their ideas.
Zionists spout the same rhetoric. They’ll kill your entire family, including children by shooting/stabbing, then ask you to just move on and stop being so hateful. The show’s creators have drawn parallels to the genocide in Palestine in favor of the Israelis. Some of these themes were present in the video game, but I’ve never played it so I wouldn’t know. I have, however, seen the show and it has bad vibes all over the place.
Idk Season 2 so far is a pretty good condemnation against this. I imagine it will get worst but
spoiler
I walked away from the last episode feeling pretty upset about the council in Jackson not backing Ellie and the reasons were told by the homophobe for why they shouldn’t do nothing.
Also we are made to feel like we should hate Abby because Joel is the main protagonist, but even that there’s some moral dilemma in what would you do if some one point blank murdered your father who was trying to cure the world from an apocalyptic disease. The killing of the religious group by the WLFs will be interesting to see how they play that out, but they did that thing of look they even killed the children. Which is bad vibes as you said.
