Narrative Attack: Joel Did Nothing Wrong (The Last Of Us)

With the controversy around the SJWs taking the Last of Us to the guillotine of Wokeness for yet another beheading I thought it would be the perfect time to introduce a new blog post type: the Narrative Attack. This is where we look at stories from all walks of life in the fiction universe, but mostly modern twice hacked up garbage from yesterday’s furball they call entertainment these days to talk about my wacky, probably unpopular opinion. In this case I wish to state that Joel in The Last of Us did nothing wrong when he slaughtered the worst revolutionaries since Disney era Star Wars purple haired Rebels.

I know what you’re going to say. How does butchering people just trying to save the world from a zombie apocalypse be doing nothing wrong? Oh my sweet child. Pull up a seat. We have some lessons in reality for you today, and remember SJWs think they’re trying to save the world too.

The lesson to glean from this episode: Don’t trust people with messiah complexes. The Fireflies in the game are fighting hard and losing hard. They lose so bad legacy Conservatives jumping in bed with LGPT queers are embarrassed for them. In fact they are down to one terrorist cell while the military dictatorship they were fighting is mostly intact by the time you catch up with them. Yet they are set on saving the world with the magic cure that only they can produce that only needs Ellie’s brains ripped out to work. A fact that Joel rightly takes issue with.

I would argue that this “cure” won’t actually be made by a surgeon so eager to make it that he dissects his only living specimen before bothering to study her. Better hope you get it the first time since she’ll be dead when you're done, and you won’t be able to collect anymore samples. Still, let’s say that despite the dubious professionalism of the surgeon involved and the father of the new protagonist of the franchise does actually produce a cure through his act of mercifull murder. 

How does a group so inept that one man can wipe them out with their own guns, by himself, going to get past all the zombies, banditos, and military hardliners that are just itching to kill them? The Military types in particular are going to be interested when they start hearing about the terrorists they’d thought were properly butchered were alive and well, and developing a cure or more accurately some kind of vaccine. And as I stress, one man can kill all of them with relative ease so why wouldn’t the military remnants in Boston just kill the last cell of Terrorists, and take the cure for themselves?

Oh reality sets in! Even if you have a cure how would you get it to people with all the transportation grounded, and everyone wanting to kill you? Moreover, this won’t cure the zombies since it's a cancerous growth that filters the blood of the fungi spore turning people into cannibals with an extreme case of the munchies. If your brain is already mushroom food the filter won’t do you any good. So all the zombies are still there, the bandits are still there, and the military kills off the horribly inept rebels and takes the vaccine for themselves to force the populace ever more under their control. 

I thought the Fireflies were supposed to save the world not make things worse. For these reasons, when I heard that they were going to sacrifice Ellie to the recycling gods of feeling like you're saving the world I was totally on board Joel picking up that rifle and wasting some rebel fools. 

I know the writers wanted me to feel so conflicted about Joel choosing Ellie over the world. How dare you not get on board with sacrificing your children for the healing of the world. How dare you. I bet you don’t even recycle, and you’d be right. The problem is that just like the green earth wannabe hippies the writers at Naughty Dog, even back when they made the original The Last of Us, had and have no idea how the world works. Or how logistics work in this case. Not to mention some clear globalist leanings.

The most hilarious thing to me is the reveal in the leaks about The Last of Us 2 that a powerful cult in Seattle has such a reach that they can cross the Rockies to attack unsuspecting settlements. So, even if the Fireflies had escaped the Military boys they would’ve landed square into the hands of this cult who would then be able to use the vaccine to force everyone into the cult if they don’t want to be plant zombie brain food. Don’t join the cult no vaccine for you World Health Organization style. Well done.

So gentlemen we should all endeavor to be like the man himself Joel who didn’t allow idiotic rhetoric about saving the world stop him from protecting his family. SJWs, prometheans, globalists, the whole lot will tell you to sacrifice yourself, your wife, children, and everything you love to fix the world because that’s what good people do. Don’t listen to them. They’re either actively trying to destroy everything you love or are so naive and narcissistic that they believe their own lies.

So be real men, and kill incompetent purple armpit haired rebels wherever you find them. It’s good for the soul. I’m kidding. We are talking about video games right? Just wait for the boobabloo boys, and don’t go to jail. It’s harder to join in on the end of the world festivities that way.
