As Someone Who Never Played The Last Of Us, I Don't Understand The Abby Outrage Despite What She Did

WARNING! This article contains SPOILERS for The Last of Us season 2, episode 2!As someone who never played The Last of Us games, I came into the HBO adaptation knowing little about the plot and characters. After being incredibly impressed with season 1’s storytelling, and only catching onto the fun video game Easter eggs like Ashley Johnson’s cameo later on, I decided I would still try going into season 2 as blind as possible. However, with avoiding spoilers being nearly impossible today, I entered The Last of Us season 2 already knowing two major things: Joel was going to die brutally, and it seemed like everyone hated the new character Abby.
