Tales from the Dawn #3: "A Question of Life" (Hermes)

[Cleretic]

Seemed like an inevitability given the relative lack of new information coupled with Hermes' morality being centered on the value of different lives.

Yeah, this one I almost give a pass because the story is actually outright about the Ancients and the End of Days. I still don't want to deal with this argument ever again and desperately wish the writers would stop going back to the well, but it's rather different from derailing a conversation about, say, the voidsent into 'but do we really, truly know Venat wasn't an inherently malicious murderer?'

I see someone was having fun with the tags. Let's not do that.

Also, cripes, love to see another thread devolve into the same argument, again.

Also, VERY thankful someone could actually fix that, thankyou. That was a REALLY rancid show of exactly where people were with the masks off and no accountability on who was saying what.

(I was the one that added just 'tags were a bad feature'.)

If you’re gonna accuse us of escaping accountability, than I proudly confess that “mankind’s first edgelord” and “tears for the hedgehogs” were my tags. And what masks going off are we talking about? That we admit to finding Hermes an unsympathetic arrogant school-shooter like edgelord? Again, nobody’s concealing that.

Yeah its nice that at least some of those tags are gone. Also if you hover with your mouse over the tag you can see who wrote it. Tells you a lot about some people.

There is no doubt that Emet felt repulsed by what was to come, but in the discussion of how ascians treat beings they deem lower to themselves, Emet doesn't really at any point clearly state how badly he feels about what he will do, does or did to the sundered. Not even in his death does he seem apologetic. He talks about his burden, but beyond that, I do not believe personally that the pipeline from ancients (especially the Convocation) to ascian would be as drastic as you make it seem.

Emet is also one of those that left poor Mitron behind to suffer for a huge amount of time. And that was a fellow ascian...of course since they are sundered too it seems that they are also quite bellow them.
