I know that Mikoto’s character carries so many themes of mental illness and stereotyped/stigmatized people and this post is not dissmissing that!! I just also feel like there’s another important metaphor he could represent. If we do take Orekoto at his word that he committed the full crime and Bokukoto is completely innocent, then this brings up an equally powerful morality debate when viewed under the lens of collective punishment.
Mikoto’s DID gives Milgram the chance to experiment on our views of collective punishment. When compared with the other 9 cases, Orekoto’s murders leans heavily unforgivable: “I killed a lot of people just because I was annoyed and I don’t feel remorse.” Thus, the debate becomes something new: should an innocent person be punished for another’s mistakes if there’s no way to separate them?
It works for the individual, but the metaphor covers comparisons about whole groups of people and communities. If it’s clear that one individual has done something wrong, but the only way to punish them involves hurting innocents, is it worth it? Orekoto assures us he won’t kill again, so it’s not a question of public safety, it’s just the question of assigning consequences. Is punishment worth the cost of that innocent person getting hurt? Is mercy worth a remorseless killer escaping without paying for it?

Metatron told Cas to cut out the heart of an innocent, and he did it. Then I see takes where people position Metatron as trustworthy and Cas as a shrinking violet.
No. Cutting open an innocent was the very first task. Let my man be flawed.

Sam harasses Dean to start taking better care of himself.
Maybe go on a few runs. Hit the bunker gym. You know: Stay sharp for hunts.
Dean unironically starts using a shake weight
but only when Cas is in the room.
When this happens, neither Dean nor Cas seem to blink.
Sam wants to disappear.

God not to be defensive of Teddy after only one of today’s episodes but to be defensive of Teddy after only one of today’s episodes, I feel strongly that his behaviour so far is no worse than what Sah and Paige have done.

Don't understand this pervading belief that in 15x19 Dean "offered to kill Sam to get Cas back" when what actually happened was that he was willing to sacrifice himself and Sam to save entire the human race.

anyways did u forget the scene where cas pushed dean up against the wall and put his hand over his mouth like. cas was always deciding things for dean. yes, he believed in free will, but also dean is a bug and bugs need guidance sometimes.
