Did you folk fall asleep and miss like the whole back half of Hellblade or did you just not pay attention to any of the themes and messages?
Also the idea that dismissing something because it's "political" is both ridiculous and idiotic since literally everything is political. How is it possible that someone still exists in 2019 with the idea that "non-political" is a thing. You complaining about something being political is a political stance.
Not only would that still be fridging it would also be a Bury Your Gays trope.
So, Joel, Uncle Ben and Faye. You see no difference between these characters? None at all? Tell me, what does Faye look like? What does she sound like? What type of personality did she have? What were her opinions?
Faye isn't a character, she's a plot device. We know nothing about her other than she lived and died to give the male characters motivation to do a thing. This is called Fridging and it is bad. It is completely irrelevant whether that thing is revenge or not.
I think Dan has a tendency to be crappy and dismissive about certain games like Dream Daddy last year and Celeste this year but I thought his argument about Red Dead 2 was pretty good.
