People who complain about the ending of TLOU2 being about Ellie forgiving Joel's killer are kind of missing the point in my opinion. I think there's a fair argument that Ellie doesn't actually forgive Abby, nor is the ending about the triumph of forgiveness. It's more so about Ellie honoring Joel's memory by not taking away a parental figure (Abby) from a lonely kid (Lev).
Joel fought for Ellie's survival to Salt Lake City in part 1, and then fought like hell to save her at the end of the game even though it would potentially cost the vaccine. This is also what sealed his fate. Debate about rather or not this was the right thing to do aside, he saved Ellie's life.
So, when she's helpless to return the favor, especially after they've made plans to try to patch things up, she gets caught up in avenging her perceived failure. She is fixated on the part of Joel that was fearless and did things like torture and kill people. The Joel before their falling out. These memories and thoughts help motivate her to carry out the revenge plot.
It's only when she remembers her final memory of Joel - the caring parental figure who prioritized and jeopardized everything just to save a kid he'd grown attached to, that she realizes that Joel probably wouldn't want this. Lev is a kid who, like Ellie, lost everything - mother, sister/best friend, and community. No matter how oppressive Seraphite culture or F.E.D.R.A QZs are, that was all Lev and Ellie knew, and it hurt to essentially be ran out even if it was ultimately for the best. Abby is like Joel - dangerous, lethal, hardened, and fiercely protective. When the first thing Abby does after being freed from her restraints by Ellie is to save Lev and cradle him, that's when it starts to click for Ellie, that much like how Joel's chosen purpose became to protect Ellie, Abby's chosen purpose is to protect Lev.
It's also why Ellie threatening Lev's life in order to get Abby to fight her is also symbolic. On this trip Ellie has become extremely detached from who she was before Joel's death. Lev in this context represents the Ellie we knew before all of this happened, so Ellie threatening Lev, an innocent child that has nothing to do with Abby and Ellie's fight and was even the reason why Abby let Dina live earlier in the game, symbolizes the risk of her going beyond the point of no return: that she will loose herself. Become unrecognizable. She's not just holding a knife to Lev, but to her old self.
But, when she recollects that final memory of Joel, that was so full of warmth, how he said he would save her all over again if given another chance even though he knew they would still eventually fallout, because he cares about her and wants her to be able to live her life on her terms, she remembers that Abby is doing that for Lev, and that just like herself, Lev deserves someone who will fight for him.
And that honors Joel memory more than killing Abby would have.

thereβs an overlap between a handful of fandoms where the common denominator is that thereβs an unconfirmed homoerotic relationship with toxic elements involved somewhere at its core.
