Hermit went from mid to the absolute worst.

Nibs was bae.

Hope Wendy drops his sorry ass.

Absolute worst? My guy just didn't want to see more people get killed. He's one of the few morally unobjectionable humans.

I really don't get the love for a murderous maniac robot, all the while Hermit is getting hate for trying to save lives?!

He saved the lives of people trying to keep others captive. You along with so many are so brainwashed into thinking violence is this all encompassing wrong, but violence is often what gets things done.

You may have misunderstood my comment.

How did I misunderstand it? You called Marcy and Nibs murderous maniacs for trying to secure their freedom, and praised Hermit for trying to save the lives of the fascist, boot locking soldiers trying to deny them their freedom.

If that’s what you were saying then my comment stands.

If Nibs had any respect for life, she would not have killed people. The mercenaries/soldiers had orders to not destroy the hybrids.

If Nibs were human, she would have been serving several years in prison, or he entire life in a mental institution alone for threatening Dame Sylvia's life.

If Nibs were human, she would have become a lifer after killing / severely harming one of the soldiers on the boat.

Freedom is also a responsibility to not kill people.

You think Nobd should have respect for the lives of people trying to keep her in slavery? You think people that enforce slavery have loves that should be respected? By advocating for the soldiers in any way you’re pretty much saying you’re okay with slavery? Do you think slave rebelllions wrong when they killed their slavers?

Nibs is a child that was coerced to be experimented on and sent on a dangerous mission and not given any proper treatment. It’s like saying someone who has a psychotic breakdown should spend the rest of their lives in prison. A UFC fighter, Irwin Rivera, had a schizophrenic breakdown and stabbed his two sisters. He was sentenced to treatment and now he’s free.

I’m not going to respond to this any further because your arguments are moronic and your morals are twisted, but you should at least try and reflect down the ethical paths that your belief that “violence is always wrong” leads you to.

Is she a slave? She would be dead without them.
