I'm not black, and maybe it's not the same. But when a boy who shows emotions gets called a fag, that doesn't make me want to kill people. When the WBC storms a funeral with their picket signs, that doesn't make me want to kill people. When I read on the news about someone who murdered someone else for being a transsexual, that doesn't make me want to kill people (though I do want the murderer jailed.) I want a social order that's fair and equitable, but if you're rooting for someone who's killing people, I reserve the right to find you creepy as hell.

Maybe it wasn't totally clear, but in the context of the show, if you're rooting for anybody, you're rooting for someone who's either killing people or probably going to. (Except maybe Nan. Bless Nan.) In some other show or ideal world, I'd prefer they learn a lesson about how violence only begets violence (with Laveau still getting some righteous indignation in), but in this one, it's all going to get bloodier and weirder before the end. I'm okay with pulling for Marie Laveau in that context.

What I'm getting at is, of all the "Big Bad" types in the show, I would rank the violences thusly:

1. Lady who tortures and murders just because she can/enjoys it.

2. Serial killer who kills people just because he can/enjoys it.

3. Lady who kills people because they get in the way.

4. Guy who kills people because he's paid to (and also really enjoys it).

5. Lady who kills people because she's fucking had it with racist oppression and has witnessed its violent outcomes for centuries (Laveau).

6. The rest of the people who've killed so far. Maybe.

5. But it's not even about racism anymore? It's about murdering people who aren't even racist (as far as we know) just because they're witches and that means they're the enemy.

Did she ask the witch hunter she send to kill them to spare the black witch who also lives with them? No and she has made pretty clear she thinks that everyone who dares to not agree with her and her killings is her enemy.

If you don't feel like hurting anyone over any horrible behavior, ever, and can't empathize with those who do, then you kind of disturb me, too, because I wonder what'll happen if/when you encounter something that makes you feel that kind of anger and you're not accustomed enough to it to handle it reasonably and move on like those us who feel it know how to do. Beware the fury of a patient person and all.

[feotakahari]

Modern pop culture has a standardized conception of the "dark side" everyone supposedly has. I never had a dark side growing up, so I was always afraid I'd get one when I was grown. But now I'm at least theoretically grown, and I still don't feel like I have a dark side. It's not like I'm trying not to be angry or jealous or hateful, and I do get angry occasionally. I just don't like the idea of hurting people, no matter what they've done.

I hear ya, and I think it's strange/sad that you're getting called out for NOT feeling like hurting anyone (over horrible behavior or not). And then it gets implied that you're a ticking time bomb of suppressed rage. Seriously?

Sometimes people confuse me.

[ill_omened]

It's because you're actually a decent person.

Congrats.

(this sounds sarecastic but srsly, it's in good faith - you're the kind of person who can make the right descisions)
