His intentions were originally pure, and in another universe, they could even be considered normal. This is the way I look at it: what is the definition of "moral"? What if you had no base of moral, and was starting fresh in your beliefs? Would Light's way of law ever be considered good in that predicament, or would you still believe the same thing you do now? Think about it. That's really the point I was trying to make. :3

HAY HAY, EVERYONE COME ATTACK MEEEE~! ♥

Yes, but again, you're going on a base of belief that killing people convicted of doing terrible crimes without trial is automatically wrong in moral. I'm not saying it's right, of course it's not right! XD See, I'm just saying it could happen if the ball was kicked in the opposite direction in terms of the beliefs of civilization. If decades ago, when we didn't have this frame of prosecution, and Light's beliefs had been set as law when we didn't have any frame for law, it would be happening today like it was the most normal thing on earth. That's just what I'm trying to say.

Of course I can understand, that was the whole point of speaking my personal opinion on it. XD; I just chose not to see him as a villain myself (HE IS MISUNDERSTOOD EMO KID!!11! D':). To me a villain is a person who kills to harm others, to get a sick thrill of it, to ruin lives -- to me, Light was killing to reach a bigger goal of world peace...okay, so maybe it's not that "rainbow-y", but something like that.

*Also, by "what I'm trying to say", I mean that really anything could have been Justice today, even Light's way of doing it. A lot of what Justice is is what is already instilled into our minds as law, punishment, etc. right from the beginning. So I'm not saying it's right, I'm saying in a certain world it could be right. :3 Discussion matter, yesh~!

"What if a misandric woman had influenced morality and decided that oppressing men was okay because statistics show that they commit more violent crime?"
BINGO. XD lol, just kidding. That's exactly what I mean though, anything could be or could not be justice. To me though, Light's view was particularly probable, since he was basing it off the base theory that this current world has, which is "Bad people die." In a way, it wasn't really that far from what we already have, so it's not like some mad-man suddenly started believing he was God, and tried to kill off the entire world. It had a point, and that point might have been good, and this is how it could have been Justice in the world of Death Note.

I do understand why people would think of it as villainous, and maybe I didn't word my comment correctly, but what I meant was that I don't understand in the sense of that I can't really see it from my own perspective. To me, he never really lost his mind or started to kill "innocent" people; sure, they were innocent in a sense, but to Light he was the hero, and the people trying to execute him were the villains. In a way, he could have been right if the world had been more in his favor (which it probably would have been in a few more years). It's not like he was ruthlessly killing people left & right for no reason, and to me, that's just not a villain.

Haha, yeah, this is the first time I've had such heated debates here though. XD

...and I did not say "it was a good idea". Considering the definition of a character's beliefs in a fictional book is far different from wanting them to become a reality.

Alrighty! *thumbs up*
