ROUND 2 â Match 89 of 138
Brother Faulkner (The Silt Verses)
Problematic because: "Jesus where to start. Okay, he's a cult leader, when he was a kid he killed his own brother because God told him it was a good idea, he murdered his political rival and his lackey and then framed his adopted sister for it, he did. Just. So many human sacrifices. Like even in a story about human sacrifices he did a LOT of human sacrifices." "groomed children" Propaganda: 1. "Orochimaru is deeply intelligent and unapologetic for anything he's ever done in his pursuit of knowledge" 2. "He's just! A little boy! Trying to come to terms with his terrible family situation! And build a better one! But he's too blinded by ambition to see it! He's my favorite treacherous cult leader and I love him."
vs. Makima (Chainsaw Man)
Problematic because: "Groomed a minor, caused the deaths of millions either directly or indirectly, ruined countless lives in pursuit of her goals." Propaganda: "She's "the ends justify the means" taken to its logical extreme. Despite seeking a world devoid of suffering, she has a hand in more suffering than perhaps any other character in the series. The trolley problem ain't shit to her and I find her so damn compelling. Makima is logical, detached, and ruthless, only ever using people to advance her own agenda, which makes it all the more poignant that she is ultimately undone by an act of love."
Who should advance?
Brother Faulkner
Makima
