Could you stop trying to demonize people who disagree with your sense of morality in a video game? If you want to keep at it then we can work out how you're wrong on this in terms of morality.

To answer your question: NO I won't stop. Murdering a child is wrong no matter what.

And if you wish to question my "moral" decisions, by all means go ahead. I'd love to hear your opinion on my wrongs about respecting a child's life, no matter what.

Ellie is not a child and she's not a daughter to the MC. Even if everyone accepts that she's a child, she's killed plenty of people so she's not innocent by any measurement. Saving her is the selfish choice in that scenario. Joel chose one girl over a potential reversal of humankind's likely extinction because of his bond with her and not getting past losing his daughter. Joel possibly sacrificed everyone for her. Not because she was a young teenager/kid or a woman but because he cared for her and didn't want to lose her.

Evil is not a synonym for something you don't like. It's inherently selfishness at extreme levels. Basically, the more harm you cause or harm you're willing to cause to others in pursuit of your interests, the more evil you are. There's alot of greyness involved. Morality is not black or white.  Killing a kid in every single possible situation is not evil. Saving a kid no matter what is not absolutely a good or righteous act no matter what. There's alot of grey. I do understand the other side of this and I don't see anyone as evil.

I think that you really agree with the vaccine people's morality and you're calling everyone evil to muddy your own misgivings about choosing Ellie over humanity.
