The Game Differs For Everyone!
I just wanted to say that people shouldn't draw conclusions and tell others why a certain character is the opposite of what they think.
You see, we are given decisions in these games and the decisions we make let us see different sides of a character. For some people one character was always nice to them and did everything for them, while for others that same character only proved to be a nuisance.
We each make different choices that help understand a character OUR way, so there's really no point in being upset about how someone dislikes a character if that character was... well... dislikeable in THEIR story.
I'm glad that there aren't too many character debates now since they only create conflict within a Community, I just wanted to remind people that we each think of character in a different way because of how we empathise with them and how we understand them and the decisions we make which help us in judging those characters.
Just like how you can choose what kind of characters Lee and Clementine are, you can also, in a way, choose who the characters around the protagonist are because we all know that we see different sides of characters depending on how we treat them or our interactions with them.
Well thanks for reading, here's a cookie!

Oh really? Great! I didn't know that...

We will all be in the same boat at the start of season 3 and eventually on the same page again.
People don't share perspectives or differ in opinions over the story itself, it's how the story is told to each person that shapes their views of a certain character or ending.
Simply put, minor changes in the decisions you make throughout the game carve a unique universe to you, and some of those decisions can cause significant alterations in the behaviours and dispositions of other characters towards Clem and the player. One person might see Kenny in a redeemable light due to certain decisions they make which reveals some redeemable traits in him - or they make some decisions that provokes the worst in him - but another player's game universe might not see these traits come to light based on some of the conversational decisions they make, and thus view the character from THEIR world differently, because it's a different world to your own.
Same story, different storytelling.
To argue that one ending is better than another is a foolish and naive discussion to have, and a waste of everybody's time. You made your decision, and someone else made a different decision based on a different game universe to your own. Neither of you where wrong, so don't bother arguing over it.
Well some people seem to forget it.
Well for some people, everything is taken into consideration.
Exactly, arguing just causes conflicts, it would be better if people praised each other for their decisions instead of arguing about how it alters from their own.
