I don't understand how people can hate Abby
I didn't want to spoil it in the title, the actual title is "I don't understand how people can hate Abby just because she killed Joel. Sure, Joel was an amazing character in the first and second game, but if TLOU was from the fireflies perspective, imagine how terrifying he would be. 1 minute, your so close to making a cure, the second, most of the fireflies are dead, the girl is gone, and the only person who had a chance to save the world is dead. I would personally be pissed at Joel. Now our leader is dead, and we aren't safe anymore. That would be pretty shitty. Imagine this though, some of your friends probably die in the attack, and the doctor who died was your own father. You can probably imagine how distraught Abby was. I feel like if you only hate Abby and her friends for killing Joel, you are childish and the message of the game didn't get across to you. Abby had plenty of reasons to kill Joel. Plus, there is other reasons to hate Abby, like fucking someone with a pregnant girlfriend perhaps. Or betraying her entire group for some scars. Abby is a likeable character, not everything about her is positive, like Ellie. You shouldn't just hate her for killing Joel, because lets be honest, you'd wanna kill Joel too if you were her.
Moral of the story: if you hate abby for killing joel, grow up.
