7.2 MSQ opinions (spoiler obviously)

Because someone might point out the issues with what you're saying?

My guy, hate them all you want, I honestly couldn't care less. But it takes some serious media illiteracy and a determined lack of empathy to not even be able to get why the Ascians might miss or prefer their world, even if you disagree with them.

No, it is because the fact I have a contrary opinion simply because the narrative did not resonated with me, which led to me being unable to suspend the disbelief and be immersed in the story leads to accusations of being a media illiterate sociopath.

It's not that complex. And yes, I understood why they wanted that. Does not mean that for me it is a bad logic, leaning on the absurd and vast cruelty and I wasn't able to relate to it. You can't expect me to have sympathy towards a people which pursue genocide and carry a dismissal of life over their hellbent ideals.

I could not shut off my brain over that major fact despite all the explanation the character brought to why. It is that simple.

You love it, great!
I don't, and that is also great.
And we can both move on.

That's a very mild way of putting all the lovely and fair-reasoned things you have to say about them, up to and including their being "bland, twisted, horrifying, ignorant aberrations." And what I said was it's a commonly put forward argument that under any other circumstances would seem sociopathic. If you tried to venture that the Garleans deserved being wiped out and you were happy they were killed off because they were racist and you found them boring in the same way, you'd typically (and rightfully) be criticised, but something in the "Ancients different, therefore bad" perception seems to rile people up in a way that makes it somehow acceptable.

Also, I'm just going off what you said earlier:

It just could not make any sense that he wasn't at the slightest affected by his life experiences, and wanted to pursue only the return of a very bland society, twisted and horrifying, settled in their own ways without noticing the ignorance path they have taken (which was hilarious given they were presented as scholars and always evolving under friendly debate of perspectives), at the cost of billions of lives?

You seem to struggle with why he'd feel that way and reach that conclusion, and I'm saying the reasons are right there staring you in the face if you look for them.

If you don't agree with it, sure, that's cool, but it's a little weird to highlight them as being utterly detestable and unrelatable due to the genocide they committed while feeling sympathetic to Hermes of all people.
