The conclusion to 2013’s The Last of Us, in which Joel refuses to sacrifice Ellie (whose body would have been used to try to stop the virus), is inspired by Israeli history. On the official PlayStation podcast for the game, Druckmann referenced the 2011 exchange of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit for 1,027 prisoners. Druckmann said of the choice Joel makes, “If it was to save a strange kid, maybe Joel would have made a very different decision. But when it was his tribe, his daughter, there was no question about what he was going to do.”
I hate TLOU for being Zionist propaganda but I also hate it because the story is shitty and has this trope at the end of game 2.
zionist propaganda?
I would also like to know more
It’s a bunch of horseshit about how Druckmann has dual citizenship so anything he has to say about tribalist violence is Zionist propaganda
I see

According to Neil Druckman

“It was inspired by, not based on,” Druckmann said of The Last of Us Part II and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Ok, sure.
