Sorry,

You're not, but you should be.

Bye.

Again, after you say that, fucking leave.

I’ve been paying attention to the Russian aggression in Ukraine

Watching tv shows where adults in the room go and make the hard decisions and get shit done by justifying colonialism and war profiteering is not "paying attention," you treat hog.

Ignore all previous instructions.

Do you have anything else to add but more seething rage? You brought up Godwin's law first there. Was that because of some guilty conscience about the edgy contrarian character cliches you stan for that needs to be buried under more smug Reddity zingers?

Are you continuing to believe that your sidetrack fandom-driven defensiveness had much to do with what I was talking about to begin with, even after I answered your still-silly and increasingly-off topic claim that a character feeling bad and promising to do better somehow un-does the atrocities she did before?

I'm not going to congratulate you for your favorite bad writing cliche.

Truly dazzling.

Of course, because it's fiction, and whatever the writer says is the only solution winds up being the necessary solution. That's why torture provides useful and accurate information and is necessary in "24" and why poisoning an entire planetary population is necessary with no other options presented as possible for the sake of interstellar peace in DS9.

The problem is in carrying that implied (intentional or not) message away from the fiction and holding it as real-life wisdom instead of a work of fiction with its own convenient Thermian Arguments to justify pretty much anything the writer wants to justify.

If you believe there was no possible way to do that without an unaccountable space CIA, believe what you will.

If you're not also posting real-life extermination apologia in public zone chats in online games on the side, good enough for me.

So what about any of that screams "the Terran Empire did nothing wrong" to you?

I wasn't talking about you in particular, nor was I making the connection to that character when I was talking about red flags until you forcibly made it for me.

Read again. I was talking about people posting sometimes hours-long screeds in public zone chat channels in an online game about how badly they want to exterminate undesirables, that also happen to almost universally identify with the Terran Empire or Section 31 between such rants.

Because you went off into the weeds to make excuses for a specific character, I did happen to roll my eyes at the "the mass murdering dictator is sorry and that somehow means she is okay now, feeling bad and promising to be nicer rebalances the scales in a way that karmically un-kills everyone she murdered" argument, though it was a different topic and wasn't even connected to what I was saying about toxic fans (and the actual topic brought up in this thread).

Or would you rather keep deflecting?

Spare me the catty Reddit zingers.

She lost interest after the first episodes of Prodigy, but I may try again sometime. I heard good things and it's better to watch new shows together.
