As much as people (rightly) rag on Abbey, I’m just as pissed at what Cuckmann did to Ellie.
From an innocent child brimming with hope and empathy to nothing but a lesbian lesbian who lesbians harder than any lesbian ever lesbianed. Uglified, arrogant, speaking in constant leftist idioms; there wasn’t a second of her on screen that didn’t make me cringe or roll my eyes.
Fuck that game and fuck their upcoming new epic tale of the mixed-race space cancer patient and her friend with the eye patch. I’ll stay right here in my nice cosy backlog while the industry comes crashing down.
Let's not forget that Abbey gets to have her revenge and its "righteous consequences for Joel's actions" but Ellie's revenge is evil and bad and everyone leaves her over it only for her to not get it anyway because "its the right thing to do."
Which considering how much Cuckmann threw literal Jewish writing in the game by name, almost feels directly out of their "I can hit you but if you hit me oy vey Nazis!" playbook.
Well, now that you mention it...
Yeah, that's why I felt zero shame in making that reach of a comparison.
Cuckmann himself put the Jewishness very front and center and developed the game with them being given special consideration. Which means it could be in every aspect of his decision making around it.
Write what you know.
You see it in Ken Levine's work as well. Midwits think BioShock is about extremism or capitalism, when it's really about a Jewish paradise being destroyed by the goy, Frank Fontaine.
BioShock Infinite is even less subtle, where the only solution (despite infinite parallel universes) to stop a Hitler-like figure is to smother him in the crib (or river, in this case).
I want to know how much of an influence amy hennig had on the last of us
wokepedia does not mention the last of us on her page but she left in 2014 and the last of us was 2013 and its been cuckmans (not so) thinly veiled fetishes ever since
