Re: Explaining Versus Excusing

It's excusing when the general thrust is "and this is why the horrible thing they did isn't really that bad" or "and this is why this mass-murdering fuckwad is less bad than that other mass-murdering fuckwad". Explanations give context for actions, excuses attempt to convince you that the actions are other than what they are.

I have different rules for fiction. So yes, a mass murderer showing remorse or having been manipulated will be more sympathetic than one written as just doing it for fun. I don't see anything wrong with that, characters are deliberately written to give you different reactions.
