Can 7.0 focus on a storyline without the philosophizing

[AwesomeJr44]

You DO NOT speak for the "majority", despite all the bleating we see here.

You say this, and yet you have the hubris to assume that you do. In your absolute failure of a metaphor that you keep insisting on pushing, you're a Karen that yells at people in an attempt to try and suppress opinions that you don't agree with because you find their very utterance offensive. You pretend that some invisible majority agrees with you because you know that your rants could never stand on their own legs as logical arguments. Odd that you would feel the need to do so in such an angry and defensive manner if such opinions were coming from mere 'malcontents'.

Kindly cease and desist.

The story has thus become predictable. If there are a bunch of soldiers who hate your guts trying to kill you, out of misunderstanding, we already know what will happen: Alphinaud will say "hold your steel", and we won't kill them. Y'shtola might chime in and explain why they have the misunderstanding. We will fight them but not kill them. We will knock them out. They will then recover and stand up, and the writers now have two choices: to make these soldiers come to our side and stay stubborn. Because the writers require that their philosophy wins out, these soldiers will come to our side eventually. Maybe one or two won't, and will get cleaned off either by dying or becoming a villain and then dying, but the vast majority would. So these soldiers are going to stand up and ask "why didn't you kill us" and now the table is set for Alphinaud to espouse his pacifist philosophy for the ten thousandth time.

This is so accurate that it's sad.
