Good lesson. Words have power, my friend.

Thanks for the info.

I haven't read this, but I can't help but feel like I'm being shown a pivotal scene of a complex and intellectual story without the full context. I'd have rather seen something less major to pique my interest.

All art is meant to be interpreted, I couldn't agree with that more.

I am trying to keep it in context. The context, to me, is the end of humans vs not the end of humans. I think the mere fact that Joel might not have done what he did if he had got to say goodbye makes it all the worse. Again, I agree they should have…

I'm not sure what you mean about more useful alive than dead. Dead her use was saving countless from horror and allowing humanity to go on. Alive her use was quality hunting and murdering skills. So...

I understand there was no "guarantee", but come on. If you read the notes, you see that Marlene was very conflicted…

And just to be clear, I'm happy I didn't like Joel's choice. I don't think characters' choices, even main characters, have to agree with mine. It's about serving the story. Great ending.

I don't know what I would do, though I would probably be incapable of stopping the Fireflies regardless. I'd certainly be confused by their refusal to let me speak with her. Chain me up if you must, but let me see the girl and comfort her one last time.

I don't know with what Joel claimed to be has to do with…

This is an intensely selfish line of thinking. I do not agree with it.

I thought she didn't know. I thought he preyed on her trust in him and her "okay" was the sad acceptance that Joel will be the only person who ever knew he ended the world, and no one will remedy this. If Ellie knew, she could still find someone willing to do the procedure on her.

"But those calling Joel bad have a very christian sense of morality and need to realize what world Joel is in."

And Ellie knew, didn't she?

...to save humanity. They were going to cut open one little girl's head to save all future little girls, little boys, big girls, and big boys from turning into mushroom people. Yeah, fuck 'em.

Dooming humanity solely to escape personal pain. This is a good thing?

I think this might actually be about too large a number of people acting like children throwing a tantrum. I don't think there's any justification for threats, or random written attacks on car companies or the President. I don't care if Valve turned off Steam and every single user lost all their games forever, it…

I can't decide which of those three teams I'd most like to be a part of, but I'm in for sure.

You're speaking of individuals when you say that people dismiss critisisms. I can't speak for them. There are plenty of people who agree, for the most part, with Sarkeesian who have no problem with discussion and criticism. I'm happy to discus and answer questions. I don't think if one doesn't agree with her about…

Sorry for my misunderstanding of how you used "white knight". I do find it so odd that you assume that a person who disagrees with you doesn't do so based on the merits of their arguments, but based on a label that can't be proven in one way or the other.

I didn't say anything about less or more important. So, no, I don't mean anything like that.

It blows that it doesn't work that way. If you figure it out, let everyone know, okay?

Of course it is, but she's not dealing with the larger issue. At least, not directly. Both of these truths are "uncomfortable" in the context you imply, but this video and Sarkeesian's videos are dealing with the subject as it relates to the sub-culture of gaming.

Are you suggesting that if one deals with any part of…
