@Placeho96743832@Fraud_Bucket@SECNDHEAVEN@MitoRequiem Let's look at the Phantom Thieves for example, through the unfortunate events of P5, they managed to not just grow but also bond from those exp. Maruki's action, though with good intent, robbed all individuality and made their bonds superficial- Omg, it's basically grand Tiktok
@wholesomechudus@Fraud_Bucket@SECNDHEAVEN@MitoRequiem Agreed. Neither pain nor happiness alone can lead to growth. It is the culmination of both that makes us who we are, and like with the Phantom Thieves, who we bond with
@Fraud_Bucket@SECNDHEAVEN@MitoRequiem Is what we have perfect? No. But Maruki and Yaldaboath's world are essentially the same, one just looks nicer and happier
@Fraud_Bucket@SECNDHEAVEN@MitoRequiem The story of Maruki is literally supposed to contrast Yaldabaoth, it doesn't matter if the intent is "good", manipulating ppl's lives against their will. Not punishing those who do heinous. Stripping humans of an essential experience, thereby denying any personal growth is EVIL
@notapopularyt@SayaDoesStuff I guess? The sinanju was made to root out the "leftovers" though, Zeon and the Federation were way closer in power during the OYW for them to justify pulling that shit off
