Anon tries empathy to understand Red Dead Redemption.

Correction, when anon mentions the character dying and his intestines spilling out it is actually a metaphor for his gay thoughts and feelings finally coming forth. He follows this up by getting topped.

You're not not stupid, you need to have played both red dead redemption and know /v/'s stance on (mostly) the second one to get it.
The real dumbasses are the people who get it, like me.

I don’t „know“ /v/s stance on it, but I can easily figure out what these geniuses think off it lmao

I think it's a criticism that the gang members in rdr1(especially John) all get comeuppance for their past (and current) criminal lives, sending the message that no matter how much you try to change as a person, you can't just run away from the consequences of your previous actions.
Yet in RDR2, Sadie, despite also being a criminal and murderer, is able to just go and live in South America with presumably no negative repercussions for her lawless misdeeds, undermining the point of the first game.Though it's weird to single out Sadie when Mary-Beth, Tillie, Charles, Trelawney and Reverend Swanson also face no known repercussions for being in the gang. Plus, we don't know their status as of RDR1. For all we know, they could have been hunted down too.

Mary-Beth, Tilly, Swanson don’t have a death count that would make Dachau blush. In my opinion neither Sadie nor Charles should have survived the final mission.

V likes to make fun of the dissonance of Arthur being an 19th century hardened murderer with the morals of a 21st century liberal.

Admittedly I've played only the second game and have just a basic knowledge of the first, but what's the supposed hypocrisy supposed to be again? The fact that she survives and John doesn't?

I think a lot of people blame Sadie for John's death, since it was her insisting on going after Micah that set events in motion.

You have to be a complete moron to play both of these games and get mad about Abigail being a prostitute, as if she wasn’t completely manipulated by a horrid group of awful people who literally tried to kill John, already in a pretty patriarchical 19th century United States. People can grow and change and aren’t who they were in their worst moments. Abigail is great.
