Questionable ethics - Living Memory

[Bibine_Bine]

This also bring to mind one of the things that really fucked me up cus it conflicts so much with lot of shit that we fought Emet for.

Cahcuia's "Dont feel bad about shutting them down they are not alive" vs Emet's "I do not consider you to be truly alive. Ergo, I will not be guilty of murder if I kill you." Really took the cake for my disbelief in this expac.

Not the same. In Emet's case it was more a matter of opinion. We are diminished, fractured versions of what once was, but we are still living beings with souls. His reasoning was more that we are so inferior to what we once were that he doesn't consider us people, more akin to mere animals because of how much we pale in comparison to our "perfect" ancient selves. In the Endless's case, they are literally not living. They don't have souls. They're more like a captured moment in time, like a picture or a story. The only difference being that they require killing real, living people to maintain that captured memory.
