Re: 44
No one should hug Luke instead of making him take responsibility for the lives lost.
No one should have told him Akzeriuth is not his fault.
There are about five minutes during which Luke convinces himself that it isn't his fault. During this time, his friends abandoned him. Good. They should have, if he was that deluded.
I am not talking about this time. Okay? Can you grasp that? Is that okay?
I am talking about a period shortly after this time.
In this period, Luke knew that it was his fault, that he had failed utterly, that he was responsible.
He swore to try and become a better person.
Tear told him she didn't think he could ever be a better person and that she would judge him every step of the way. Many of his "friends" sneered at him and reminded him of his failures every time he might have felt better about himself. He was trying to grow as a character and they are trying to put him in a box.
This is why they are dicks.
This doesn't mean that they are evil or that *LAWL* I am ignoring them. Frankly, if I joined the fandom, I'd probably ignore Luke entirely. I'm way more interested in Anise, Peony, Guy, Natalia, Asch, etc. But that doesn't mean they don't treat Luke like crap.
Intelligent and rational people are capable of making the distinction that sometimes awesome characters act like dicks.
Maybe that will keep you from constructing straw men for twelve seconds? Too much to hope for?
