reminded me of all the stupid drama about that shit in Dungeons and Dragons now

edit: for some historical context about this the first DnD module presents the players with a dilemma about how to handle a room full of goblin children after you clear out a goblin cave that had killed nearby villagers so you either project humanity on evil creatures and spare them which inevitably leads to consequences down the line, or you go full Anakin Skywalker at the jedi temple about it. i remember my group back in the day having like a 20 minute debate about the pros and cons and comparing it to killing baby hitler with a time machine

I haven't seen season 2, but season 1 wasn't too bad. I would be shocked if season 2 was a hundred times worse than season 1 ...

... and it would have to be at least that much worse, to be as bad as the Hobbit trilogy.

That trilogy was just rancid :mad:
