It's usually not to the extent of going "going postal" with us humans, but mutually beneficial relationships between a more and less aggressive person are not that unheard of. None of the troll relationships are, we just don't culturally give them equal significance with romantic love.

That's not moirallegiance, though. The whole point of moirallegiance is that it's designed to keep troll society functional by making sure that overly aggressive trolls (that is, basically all trolls) stay in line. Humans don't have the same cultural neuroses that would make moirallegiance a necessity or even a possibility for them.

Isn't that exactly what the OP said in the first part of their secret? That humans don't technically have it but they find what they have to be a human equivalent?

Yeah, because Nepeta is totally in danger of committing mass murder without Equius. I have always viewed moirallegiance as a committed friendship in which you help each other make better choices, which could include not killing half the people you know, but doesn't have to, on the grounds that not all trolls are inclined to fuck up in exactly the same ways.

Not every troll is Gamzee; some of them are perfectly happy to exercise whatever violent inclinations they may have in activities like hunting animals or roleplaying (without killing their RP partners, unless they're Vriska who is generally considered to be more than a little off kilter).

I'm only sort of familiar with this fandom but I'm going to agree with this. I know that I, personally, have a very bad temper. I once made my girlfriend burst into tears by getting rage-y at someone while driving (I didn't do anything dangerous but she has anxiety so me getting that angry while driving scared her very badly, and as soon as she got visibly upset I pulled over and we talked about it), and she often has to prevent me from rolling down windows to yell at jaywalkers on the street (we live in a small college town where people will jaywalk right in front of your car while texting, for fuck's sake, and it pisses me off). I have a tendency to rant a lot just to deal with how angry I get at other people on a daily basis. She really, really helps to balance me out, partially because I know she has anxiety and therefore if I get too angry she'll get upset, which is something I want to avoid. I'd like to think our relationship is healthy considering we communicate very well and always try to be respectful of each other's feelings.

It sounds to me like what they were saying was that they have a basic human equivalent of the same idea, which is healthier than the troll version? I dunno.
