Ok, that leads to the second part: would you continue to feel that way if you were given explicit meta knowledge that said power would be only used for the advancement of her people?
Take of the faction glasses and judge from a neutral player stance.
You know that this is purely moral relativism at this point?
No, it is not evil.
Why?
Because from neutral point of view, evil does not exist.
Nothing is good and nothing is evil, these are abstract concepts.
I was VERY hurt. True story.
I can replace every âEvilâ in my posts with âfrom my very subjective point of view and basing that assumption on my cultural preferences, this act is perceived as evilâ
Then, couldnât it be possible that an action, any action, could be seen good or bad depending on the eye of the beholder?
And that maybe, the reaction against Sylvanas (if mirrored to the tiniest detail with this scenario) wouldnât be as much about the actions themselves but about the character that is being judged with someoneâs personal lenses in a negative light influenced by some past experience?
Essentially, I feel like many wouldnât feel good about Sylvanas doing this because of their prejudices against her character. And that detaches itself from the actions as such.
Because she has been shown as a person capable of major feats of evil in the past? You can twist this as much as you want, your entire premise is flawed.
The act of killing is not better when I do it, but my previous track record allows people doubt. I didnât kill anyone before, did I not? Meanwhile, you already killed several people, no one will be surprised.
At this point, I feel he would need to do something extremely OOC for me to reconcile with him.
That doesnât mean I can be capable of judging in a detached fashion some of his punctual acts.
Are you aware what baggage is? Me witnessing a bombing campaign is baggage. Me killing someone is not baggage, it is an atrocity. Further more, you are bla-bla-blaing and talking about vacuums, shifting several logical positions and making an absolute mess in order for your example to work.
If you are that clever, go hire a Nanny with a track record for stealing for your kid, its easy babbling on the internet.
Why should I trust a liar to tell the truth? I can not even decipher where you are going with this, speak plainly.
