I really don't understand the hate.

This is probably a frequently asked question, but why the hat? I get that the charecters choices are controversial and really fucking uncomfortable to play through, but I thought that was the point. I have never played a game that made me question my play-style in the same way. It emotionally effected me unlike any game. I thought that was what I was supposed to feel. I think it was reasonable for ellie to react that way given her experiences. Not right, but it made sense. In her poem she says something to the effect of....idk...couldn't understand the resonance of your iron...talking about Joel's hard edge view of survival....idk. the gameplay can not be insulted though. It was awesome.
