Honestly, I don't buy that, because they can't possibly have have the fight and not known they were killing people.

Do you notice the ants that you trod underfoot? Of course not. They're the same way. Compared to them, everyone else is an ant. Why notice an ant?

Or, to put it with more style, "Do you know how many breads you've eaten in your life?"

I put it quite clearly in Karna's thoughts that loss of human life has become so routine to him that he cannot really be affected by it anymore.

And Gilgamesh is... well, he's Gilgamesh. I really can't put it much better than how Arch said it, I suppose.

I evaluate it based on current views of heroes, they are not heroes, they are killers who killed in the name of dick measuring. I'm not applying the character's thoughts to this because every well written character believes themselves good to some degree.

This is basically it Lantz. If you were in a fight with someone would you focus on them, or make sure not to step on every anthill near you?

[Brahmastra]

Am just gonna give up this argument because lantz will pull some new stupid shit (Like how he supposedly knows multiple vets or that there's an established "modern view of heroes") out of his Mountain Dew-crusted fedora until I tear my hair out in rage.

You are naive, Lantz. Do you realize how many heroes killed tons of people to do their job? Like Sherman pillaging the South to put the end to the Civil War, or Henry H. Arnold who firebombed German cities to crush Third Reich's spirit?

[lantzblades]

Not heroes, not objectively. They are only heroes in a national sense.

[Brahmastra]

National sens-whuh? Like what the fuck does that even mean. Are you trying to loophole your way through the term "National hero", because such a hero is still a hero.

[Kat]

Villains to Nazis and slave owners, heroes to the Free World.

And there is no objective definition of hero, if you claim otherwise you are pretentious. Because one's hero is other's villain.

[lantzblades]

Doctors, paramedics, firemen rl, superman etcetera fictionally. All heroes.

[Brahmastra]

Minus the last one, merely people with a job.

Also good to know that's why you slapped those jobs on your faux-messiah SI

[YOLF]

Brah, Moon and co: discussing morality applied to their characters and said characters' individual standpoints
Lantz: trying to pin arbitrary judgements of general morality and apply them to the RP and the characters within

You lot were having two different conversations from the start. I suggest you desist now, for everyone's benefit. XD

[Kat]

desist

Bad lingustic habit, -1 point from me.

[lantzblades]

Never been a self insert Brah, not that you actually pay attention.

sure YOLF, np.

I pick up odd expressions and do strange adaptations from my own tongue to english sometimes. I think I can be forgiven for this, given it's not my first language.

What's wrong with "desist" anyways? I actually have no idea.
