I never played the game, but I did know about the first game's ending and about Joel's fate in the second one, due to the controversy. I really liked the first season, but the second one just ruined it. It had its moments—sure. However, the entire story hinges on an extremely flawed premise. I just couldn't get immersed being reminded of it at every step.

I decided to take a peek at the fandom reactions and thought I was taking the crazy pills. Gamers loved it, and of course anyone who disagreed was a bigot or a hater. I guess it's just my luck to stumble into shows that turn into shit and then get gaslighted by the fandom into believing I'm somehow the crazy one.

For TLOU S2 in particular, Abby can go get fucked, for all I care, and the writers can shove the victim blaming up their ass.

From what I have heard, that scene wasn't adapted very well into tv

Which scene exactly? I've read a lot of complaints about different parts, but my biggest issue is

Tap for spoilerat least in the show, they made it look like I should give a shit about Abby's revenge, when her father and his science buddies were literally about to kill a child who couldn't consent to this procedure even if she wanted to. For something that would have most likely failed, because if I'm not mistaken, according to the game, they had failed multiple times to to produce a working vaccine at that point. So all that whining about Joel taking away her choice is bullshit drama, because she was too young to consent anyway. That's why I'm firmly in the fuck Part 2 camp.

Putting this in a seperate comment because it is unrelated but that is a completely acceptable reason to hate part 2. (Like most good stories) it's not made for everyone.

I think the reason you (and others who dislike part 2) were (wrongfully) labeled as a bigot is because most the hate for the game came after the leaks and before the release, so all people knew was that

spoilerThey're killing off the male main character, that's so woke!!!!

and all reasonable criticism that came after were unfortunately assumed to be in that group.
