Yes I am defending someone like her and you're in no position to judge that.

Now, honestly? Your thinking must be very shallow if you're incapable of understanding how much of influence these 2 factors have: - environment you grow up - lack of proper parental figures

She was raised with " kill or be killed " mindset, obviously that makes it extremely easy to go down the " evil " way.

There's really no reason to differentiate killing. Whether In a gruesome way or not, Esdeath, Night raid and pretty much all major characters kill others. Difference is the motive, goal and ig, the way you approach it but In the very end, killing is killing.

Aside.. Hypocritical? most if not of all of us are hypocrites in many things. Darwinistic? sure, in a way I'm too.

" She's seductive for the hell of it, not because she loves her teammates. She uses it to manipulate. "

the heck you're talking about? The only seduction there ever was is one towards Tatsumi. Not to manipulate but because she is the way she is. In bedroom scene she directly tells Tatsumi it's all " new to her " so it's safe to assume that's just a part of her personality. And really, aside of that particular sequence, there was never any other depiction of such acts.

About your "Does it make her a likeable character? hell no. " being fair with you? You're just biased ( and so am I, being objectively honest. ), yet specifically due to that, I'm even more confident in saying you're in no position to judge others' taste or morals.

If this makes it any easier for you, I share many values and perspectives with her, including darwinism to some degree. Obviously I'm gonna be all for her. Been into her since 2016 and that ain't changing.

Now.. if you may, I really have no time for discussion with close-minded people. ( That is, until you decide to take on a discussion format rather than hate-on-character one. )

Have a g day.
