Undertale is the mirror of The Last Of Us, that is sort of how im feeling rn.
Extreme pacifism where the solution is to let everyone walk all over you
Vs
Violence is the only way to ever do anything
yeah
and okay okay so
with The Last Of Us
it's slightly worse
it's violence is the only thing we trust you the player to do things
it's the only thing the player can do right. Joel has an old friend he negotiates with, and Elly can solve things without you and then getting to her is violence. Cutscenes show the characters doing the things that aren't violence.
Yeah, and we will also condemn the player for it to try and make some profound point about violence begeting violence
because god damn can you imagine if someone was doing something terrible
and you did violence to prevent it?
like punching a nazi?
Literally perpetuating violence and therefore bad.
We do not punch nazis here in Centralland
