  • that bandit woman

    Jolene. Also, I'm not sure she was a bandit herself; I think she and Danielle were just captured by the SaveLots Bandits, she was kept around as their [insert non-offensive/triggering term here], Danielle was walked off into the woods to never see her mama again, and then Jolene was just left to fend for herself when they got bored of her.

    Molly who I guess you could argue was being sexually harassed since that creepy doctor was using her for sex to give her sister insulin for diabetes which is gross and awful.

    Not sure how that counts as harassment, but whatever. I'm not an expert on that.

  • It would be a really intense scene if a character that Clem became really attached to like she was with Kenny or Lee made got real pushy in a secluded and isolated area. It would be interesting to see how many people would decide to keep him (or her) alive.

  • It's a very difficult subject to handle. Not only pedophilia, but rape in general has very rarely been brought up in twd games. I wouldn't be mad at telltale for including it if it was handled right...I mean realistically it would be a problem in this setting on occasion which is difficult to even think about. It would also be a new level of darkness in an already extremely dark, grim, emotionally involved game. I don't know if they will ever go there.

  • When in the game does it say bandits raped students at Ben's school? I don't remember that being brought up at all, but maybe I just missed it.

    Anyway, you are right, it has been brought up a few times, and there are implications of it at other times, but like you said it's never been used as a plot device. It's never truely shown the impact on a major character. It's hinted that Rebecca and Jane were raped, and one tiny voice clip from Danny St.John indicating he's a pedo(the rest were deleted) but it is never focused on or actually talked about, which is why I think telltale are hesitant to actually show the impact of it or even have characters actually talk about it to each other. It's all extremely vague or one simple reference like Jolene/Danielle and 400 days Danny.

    So yeah I should have worded it better in my previous post. I didn't mean to imply that either had never happened.

  • A girl that, if turned and scratched Luke, would turn him into a grown-up zombie. That's the thing about zombies. No matter the size of it, it can cause a chain of transformation that causes the death of entire communities. Like the girl that killed herself in the school's gym Ben tried to take shelter in.

    I understand your logic, but what I am saying is that Luke didn't do that because he was mean or heartless. He did that because he was very much of a scared cat, especially on the early episodes, and that reaction makes sense in the context. I don't know, when I played the episode, the impression I got was that the entire group was inexperienced and scared, but not really bad people.

    It is in unused voice clips where Ben have a different voice/accent. However, given that they actually do so to Jolene and the fact that Ben was drawn into making a deal with them under the pretense that they were holding one of his classmates captive due to previously attacking them, I think its safe to assume it probably happened anyway.

    Yeah, that was definitely the point. Unfortunately, people tended to hold grudges, Carlos not clearing Clementine's name immediately was a huge disappointment that he still hasn't lived down, and Rebecca in particular wasn't doing the group any favors with how vindictive she was. Even with my sketchy attempt to avoid spoilers, I was always aware of the poor reception the Cabin Group as a collective were getting to the point that Carver was hailed the best new character in part due to spite.

  • I was more thinking of a infected wound than a literal scratch, but fine. Replace that by "A girl that could turn and bite Luke before he realized what was happening".

    But, elaborating on scratches. Scratches were a problem not because they sped up the turning process, but because people feared they would. It was heavily speculated by the characters themselves at the beginning of the apocalypse that scratches, cuts, anything could be enough, so their reaction still makes sense even though they do not offer more risk than any other kind of wound. The cabin group didn't have nearly as much information on zombies as we have.

  • I fell that people often judge characters based on our own knowledge of the world and the other characters instead of putting themselves in their shoes. I actually really liked the cabin group, most of them were nice almost to a fault and their actions made a lot of sense for people like them, with their personalities and way of life. Carver, well, I don't really like him because it's not like violent power-hungry psychos with delusions of grandeur are something rare in The Walking Dead.

  • I fell that people often judge characters based on our own knowledge of the world and the other characters instead of putting themselves in their shoes.

    I'm inclined to say Sarah was one of the bigger examples of that. I mean, I knew she and Luke weren't as popular as they were likely meant to be at first going in and while I can understand some apprehension towards her in particular at first, I was legitimately shocked to read just how much some people seemed to hate her. I think that has to do with people refused to empathize with her perspective, unfairly comparing her to Clementine(and especially Jane, who I was almost completely unaware even existed), and people over accentuating her flaws(though admittedly In Harm's Way and, to a degree, the first third Amid the Ruins didn't help). That last one in particular was clearly on the writers and development teams' agenda when they were finishing production on Amid the Ruins, which contains arguably the worst moment of the Season(if not the Series) writing/storytelling wise. :unamused:

    Carver, well, I don't really like him because it's not like violent power-hungry psychos with delusions of grandeur are something rare in The Walking Dead.

    Okay, with him, I tried to just ignore it and just judge him for myself, only to be set up for disappointment when the story itself kept talking him up. Thus, a significant part of my hatred for him(above Justin, but below Jane) is based around the fact that so much of the Season's premise and hype was centered around him and the Cabin Group's histories with him, implying them to be these deep characters of gray/grey morality whose past mistakes turned them against each other. Of course, he ended up being little more than a smug archetype that flaunted having this greatness and mystique around him but was really just a one-note psychopath whose purpose is to make Kenny simultaneously look good(and turn "bad"), hide the fact that Clementine didn't really matter by poorly using the "we're alike" cliche, and have a villain overlay the story for the sake of having a villian.

  • I really do not think that bounding her wrists and legs in a corner is more humane than locking her in a shed, but I guess that's a matter of opinion. It would certainly have been more effective, though, since leaving her free to walk around inside the shed unsupervised didn't do much for restricting her and stopping her from going in the house anyway xD

    I imagine they also didn't want her to have any contact with Sarah, who was extremely sheltered, until they knew she was not bitten.
