He’s a great character, but he’s an awful awful person
Many of these chuds seem to hero worship Joel. Is it just worshipping the cult of violence and vigilante justice?

He hates the world and wants to protect his surrogate daughter and improve his relationship with her, which also represents his last remnants of humanity.
From a parental viewpoint, I don’t think I would’ve done anything different from TLOU 1 Joel, maybe aside promoting communism more to Ellie. But yes, conservatives tend to like him for the violence and vigilantism, but also they want to fuck Ellie, and they have a myopic view of their actions - regardless if his actions were understandable, killing a doctor and ruining any hope of saving humanity is objectively based.
Agree with most of this post, aside from the last bit. I think Joel murdering the doctor in order to keep ellie was him at his most selfish.
Joel got what he deserved in the end
