But if you're going that route, knowing most people aren't open minded, then you have to go the extra extra mile to justify that criticism and the eventual death sentence.

Reframing the encounter between Joel and Abby's dad works for open minded people, they can interpret that as a different point of view from Abby and her father. But if you're not, you're not going to appreciate the game essentially gaslighting you into retconning how the encounter was setup.

In part 1 I believe the firefly doctors actually tried multiple times to create a vaccine with people just like Ellie (people who were immune to the infection) and they failed. So Joel was right all along saving her life. Not only that it just goes against the principles of doctors, like they couldn't find another way to create a vaccine without sacrificing someone's life? People hate the game because they ruined the characters particularly Ellie. Ellie was completely unlikable towards the end, and many people have said that is a huge reason why they hate the game or dislike the story.
