| TheProphet said: Certainly the most coherent argument so far. However, do you think these characters affect society as role models? And do they aim for standards that are the best for society or the worst? |
They could affect our society, but creators can't censor themselves because of what some people might take away from their games/books/movies.
I don't think they aim for any standard, I think they're just telling a story. Some stories are about people rising to great heights in adversity, while others are about how the situation you're in can totally change you for the worse and what's nomal in this world would be reprehensible in our own comfortable lives, but without having ever been in a situation similar to Ellie and Joel it's impossible for any of us to say how we would act. Then again that's the point of a fictional story.
