[Tomoemami]

I wonder how she died.

 

[Xaelath]

@Tomoemami
Either Protecting the villages or her sister.

I doubt AI would kill her sister.
Something else likely would either an accident or a 3rd party.

 

[ThatGuy]

@Tomoemami Suicide by police

 

[Tamerlane]

"Master, why do we keep the blade of unfathomable evil around? Isn't that irresponsible?"
"Ah, but good and evil are subjective, kid, and sometimes you need to utilize evil"

Me, trying to figure out when in human history mass rape, murder, and genocide were useful:

@Tamerlane
That's simple when all that bad stuff is some else problem. Good and evil tends to be defined by the winners. And by winning I mean bring up the losers misdeeds while covering up your own even if your people did the something.

 

[Day-Ender]

@Tamerlane that and it's probably a lot better to keep watch of something that's evil rather than set it somewhere and forget it.

 

[Suben]

@Tomoemami Who says she's dead? Just because Sveta was doesn't necessarily mean all of Amalareiks are. Ai certainly hasn't been acting as if she died.

 

[PaperHere]

UM1 and sunbro belike/The sun and moon bros in naruto be like

This trope is kinda common now that I think about it. Is there a Japanese legend that it can be traced to?

 

[Tamerlane]

@Grandstar @Day-Ender I know, I just think it's funny that there's this supposed relic of pure unrestrained evil and the guy's just like "eh, good and evil are relative."

Like I don't buy very much into morality, but in this context, it's funny to think about.

@Tamerlane Look at it this way, murder is seen as an inherently evil act. Sometimes, though, killing someone can be for the betterment of everyone. An example would be murdering a serial killer. No matter how justified it is, it's still murder.

In an extreme example, consider Arthas's culling of Stratholme in Warcraft. Grain stores in the city had been deliberately infected with a disease that would kill the citizens and turn them undead. Arthas knew that if the city turned, the undead force would be so massive it would overrun the surrounding kingdom. With no way if discerning who was and who wasn't infected Arthas made the choice to kill every single person, infected or not, knowing that if even one infected person were to make it out alive it may have all been for nothing. Arthas saved Lordaeron with his actions, for a time anyways; if he hadn't have culled Stratholme, the kingdom surely would have fallen then. That, however, doesn't make his actions any less evil.

Path to hell is paved with good intentions, and all that.

I'm actually not sure where this backstory going. We know that Ai was wounded as a child. So, we can just assume it was inflicted by Mai, but the only way I can see that happening is if the Amalareiks child used one of those rings on her.

 

[es_kan]

which one ended up in the hero party again?

 

[extralie]

@es_kan Ai (the one acting bratty as a child) is the one with Shy.

@Tamerlane

You're probably going to get a lot of comments because of that statement regarding good and evil but it is right that societies ideas of good and evil change over time. Slavery and segregation used to be seen as reasonable and what passed as medical science in medieval times would be seen as cruel and unusual torture nowadays.

Generally speaking, people usually fight for what they think is good and whoever they're fighting is evil to them.

 

[comeonnow0]

Is everyone just glossing over the other two examples in @Tamerlane's statement?
"Trying to figure out when in human history mass rape, _murder, and genocide were useful"

Like, are you seriously going to say something ridiculous like ,"Oh, but genocide of [wiped out group] freed up plenty of land and resources for the winners, so it was completely justified and therefore wasn't evil!"
And I'm not even going to try to imagine what insane justifications people in these comments will come up with for the other act.

@Tamerlane
well, I think Mongolian Conquests fit all three
They weren't useful for everyone, that's given, and especially not to those raped, murdered and genocided, but they 'were' useful
