I see that everyone apart from you and a few other people really want to hit Gabe, so to mKe it fair I'll be on your side. I mean, how the hell will child abuse solve anything? Knowing Gabe, he'll probably just swing back at javi as he's starting to take after David.
Well hitting Sarah allowed us to snap out of it, and she was hit by another child so it was completely fair. Besides, it she didn't get slapped she'd get eaten by walkers. Would you rather be slapped by an 11 year old or devoured alive by the undead?
I don't think that a slap/backhand is abuse. I mean, at least I don't talk of constant slapping/hitting.
Was it abuse to hit Sarah with Clem to get her to move? I don't think so.
If Gabe doesn't listen, maybe a smack gets his attention. And listens. If not, well, there goes Gabe. If he keeps going the direction he's heading, I simply view him as an antagonist. And antagonists are usually your enemy in games. And if that antagonist is your family member and you're supposed to be nice to him, we got a problem.

how is it abuse? gabe was in many situations where he deserves to get backhanded like how carlos did to sarah especially since he is from a cuban family
Yes, I can see that but it seems a bit too... Sexual and uncomfortably awkward right now. I'm only 2 years older than clem so I can't get arrested if I did want it to look like that but even I have to say: wtf has this world become?
Yes but Sarah was slapped by clem and let's be honest, clem was weak af in season 2 so it probably lay didn't feel like much. But Javier, on the other hand, you saw how jacked he was in episode 4 so getting a slap from that guy will send you right down from Virginia to Oregon, Lbh.

What have we seen that you can accurately label Gabe as a "horny" teenager. The way you talk you'd think he taught Clem to play spin the bottle and not a game of cards.

I love how almost every time I come on the forum now, there's a new discussion about how much people hate/love Gabe or what they want to do … moreto him. Listen, I hate Gabe as much as the next guy, but even I'm starting to think these threads are getting a bit old, especially the ones that in some way relate to...the ship that shall not be named.
I really liked that choice, out of ALL the ways to bring a kid, who saw her father die in front of her, the ONLY way to get her back on planet Earth is to bitch slap her.
Okay, that's crap. Don't use Chuck as a way to justify this. I don't recall Lee ever hitting Clementine to teach her how to survive and even… more if Clem was 10 times worse than Gabe, or the same age, it wouldn't be okay. Gabe has fucked up pretty bad a couple times sure, but hitting kids isn't the way to solve things.

I didn't think I needed to answer that as that's not the part I cared about but fine. In fact we'll even talk about really taking things out of context.
You know how the media goes completely mad about the smallest things in video games and takes them completely out of context? Yeah Imagine the shitstorm if games started letting you literally abuse kids. And they wouldn't even have to take it out of context. But again I literally don't care about that part of your comment
i agree, they were like "let's just leave this bitch here, i mean she's clearly not in her right mind considering that her dad just fuckin died, but like lmao"
Gabe needs to be slapped but for a good reason; and not because we don't like him. It all matters in the situation they'll be in. If Gabe decides to do something stupid again without our approval and makes things even worse, than slapping him will be the right thing to do. He needs to know that everything HE does isn't the right thing to do, no matter how it sounds in his head.
I'm not in the crowd that say "I'll hit him just to hit him". I understand their hatred towards him, but that's kind of a "dick move".
And to those who say "That's abuse". It's not abuse, its discipline.
For the people who really hate Gabe the 2 best things to hope for is he is the cause of his dad's brutal death and Clementine viciously rejecting him afterwards.
Sorry, but like how Chuck said in season 1, there is no such thing as a "kid" in this time. In the apocalypse, you are either alive or dead. If you want to live then you cannot afford to be a kid. You have to grow up. And Gabe simply refuses to grow up, so he really should be long dead by now.
Getting to call him a "little fucking shit" in episode four is more than enough, don't you think? Yeah the guy can be annoying, but he's your nephew, plus he's still just a kid...
If you even need to ask the question then there's a problem
Um dude, this is the apocalypse. People do more than just hit kids. They get murdered and raped. This isn't normal civilization where they can afford to be kids. So, they have to grow up. Otherwise, they deserve to have the crap beat outta them.
In the end of episode 4 Gabe seems to finally change and listen to Javi.
When Javi tells Gabe revenge isn't worth his life, Gabe will stay with Javi. The Gabe we knew before would run together with David after Joan/Clint like a moron.
So I guess there is still hope for Gabe.
"I don't know much about you folks, but you keep goin' on like this, and that girl ain't gonna make it. You've got to think of her as a livi… moreng person. That's it. You ain't little. You ain't a girl, you ain't a boy. You ain't strong... or smart. You're alive."
Gabe has been acting like a reckless moron and he WILL die soon if he keeps it up, guaranteed. He storms off alone and pouts in dangerous areas, pulled the gun on Conrad in front of the whole group, attacks a guy five times his size and gets Javi stabbed, fractured the group by telling them about Conrad just to prove a point, refuses to be lookout duty at first during a perilous mission, and his first plan to save David was for him to just run in with a gun.
Javier and Kate's words have not gotten through to him and the consequences of his actions haven't shaken him at all either, even when it got Javi stabbed. He simply doesn't listen and he WILL get himself or other people k… [view original content]
Nah. Make Clementine playable in the next episode and give an option to friend zone him. Emotionally hurting him would be way more satisfying that physically hurting him.

How isn't it abuse? You hit a kid because you don't like him or what he's saying, it's abuse, plain and simple. There's no dancing around that.

top ten anime deaths
It's a video game!
XDXDXDXDXDXDXDXD
Top 10 ways for Gabe to die in Episode 5.
I like how you ignored the 3rd sentence/question, because you make it look like it's out of context...
I remember Clem slapping Walter if he let Nick die...
And that slap sounded like it hurt.
Neither because Sarah shouldn't have even been "snapped out of it."
It was old before Above the Law came out.
Because he ordered him to.
They normally sound worse than they actually are.
Well she would have been eaten alive, then.
I really liked that choice, out of ALL the ways to bring a kid, who saw her father die in front of her, the ONLY way to get her back on planet Earth is to bitch slap her.
Amazing.
Couldn't have founded another way around it, huh?
But it's Gabe. Gabe is love. Gabe is life.
Yeah, I've seen that quote spammed so many times that I forgot the real meaning of it myself for a while.
There are so many things wrong with this sentence.
still a child regardless
So is Pedo meme Shrek.
How about C. have the fuckin' able-bodied young adult take charge and actually do something selfless.

Slapping Sarah was way more about getting her to be alert to what's going on than allowing some players to take out their frustration.
With that said, Gabe actually does need a smack for both reasons if it actually comes to that.
i agree, they were like "let's just leave this bitch here, i mean she's clearly not in her right mind considering that her dad just fuckin died, but like lmao"

Disgusting, and now this picture is in my inbox. This is worse than all that Clementine porn I've been spammed with in the past.
"You can 99.4% of players slapped the shit out of Gabe."
Exactly. Someone needs to make this a Gabentine animation. Or a GabexJavi. What ever will be funnier

It's a fucking game and we're talking about hitting a FICTIONAL character
Um dude, this is the apocalypse. People do more than just hit kids. They get murdered and raped. This isn't normal civilization where they can afford to be kids. So, they have to grow up. Otherwise, they deserve to have the crap beat outta them.
Nope sorry. Gabe is not a child. He just acts like one.
