What's the point with that quite lackluster story in Endwalker?

[Lauront]

But if you really wanna throw down the, "social construct" gauntlet, then look at the societies constructed by our storytellers within the story. They largely hold similar values to societies in the real world. Then look at Venat's actions. Even within her own society, she enacted civil war, and broke a lot of their customs before that, to boot. In other words, Venat did things that many people within our story world should take issue with, but don't, because the scriptwriters wrote them to not. She destroyed her own society, violating what you have specified is the reason to have social constructs in the first place.

After all, we can just refer to the cast's mouthpieces and their own pronouncements...



...and...

“To ignore the plight of those one might conceivably save is not wisdom─it is indolence.”

Guess they just need to be confronted with a supreme deity ready to sunder them, for their memories to be jogged a little.

Excellent post.

Don't forget:



At any rate, wow, looks like I missed a lot of fun! I just want to add, Hermes read like he was written by someone who is blissfully unaware of what animal testing is actually like. Elpis was a dream scenario as far as that is concerned. It was impossible to take any of it seriously as being 'scary' or 'wrong' when humans are guilty of far, far worse. (The message is Hermes was in the wrong line of work.) If you want me to morally condemn an entire civilization you're going to have to make them beyond salvation, not actually better people than both the sundered and RL mankind.

You're also going to have to not have one of the Scions do the exact same thing one patch later to humorous effect.
