Pfft, if you're a monster than I must be a thousand steps below that. Fun fact? When I discovered my ability, it was violent and uncontrollable. At least you've never set a nuke off in your living room.

*Shakes my head*
I was born a monster and I hoped I could escape it. But I'm no different.

@Fractured

Have you killed anyone?

@souleaterfan320

I... I don't think so... I don't know after today...

<Snipped quote by Intrepid>

Where are you deriving your definition of justice?

@Techspert

Fairness and the providing of closure to situations where one or more people have been wronged in some way, or may otherwise suffer. Doing what’s right.

Not exactly a reasonable request. Next you'll want us to support their family forever too.

Limbo:... I was a Crimson Armada soldier. A general to, be exact... I dont recall much from that time, but I remember my final minutes before I be came this, all too well. I was tossed to the Hellverse. It...changed me. Morphed me.

@souleaterfan320

It seems to do that to people, if it’s similar to the stuff I know about.

You’re kidding, right?

I don't have a book titled "The Family Trees of All Villains" sitting anywhere in my library, so no. I unironically have no way of communicating with anyone they talk to and they're all better off without them.

@Techspert

Screw the villains, that’s only one example. What about all the other kinds of people?

I don't kill good guys.

You’re so stuck to defending the fact that you only kill “bad people” that you’re not really listening to what I’m saying. It’s not just the people you kill. The families see repercussions. Bystanders see repercussions. Sometimes people suffer without ever knowing what or who caused the damage that, say, destroyed their hone, for example. Sometimes “bad” people aren’t necessarily doing “bad” things just for the sake of it. Maybe something happens to them when people actually depend on them, but no one bothers to check, so those people suffer. Andy Indigo comes to mind. Sometimes it’s a friend. Sometimes you lose a friend amongst your group, regardless of their moral standing in your group in relation to you. And when they’re gone, it’s like losing family.

Maybe it would help if you walked through a specific example. As far as I can remember, bystanders are typically unaffected.

@Techspert

After the fall of Waternaux City, when ex-President Indigo was killed, people who were being taken care of in charitable establishments, such as for the sick and homeless, were berated, shunned, and sometimes even beaten for having accepted his aid. And no one wanted to pick up the stragglers that he left behind. Many starved, or otherwise met ill fates. People hated the man’s legacy so much that they wouldn’t take any of the good things he left and continue them.

Sounds like a pretty cruddy society.

It was a pretty cruddy everything. For everyone involved. No one is exempt from that.

@Intrepid

So when a police officer, or even better, a lucky guy walking down the street stops a criminal from killing someone and that criminal's family starves because his wife can't get a job, you blame the guy who saved someone else? There's a HUGE flaw in your reasoning.

That’s not at all what it is. These are helpless people we’re talking about.

@Intrepid

Say she had a bad arm, then. Couldn't hold a job. No matter where you transfer the blame, it's not going to end up on the guy who saved the dude's life. Not only is it not his responsibility, but he just did what was right given the circumstances. Transaction over.
