You know what? No one's allowed to argue the ethics of killing villains in fiction and using it as justification for real life morality until they learn to stop using Batman & the Joker as the go to example for their position.

#batman #literary analysis #fiction #analysis #writeblr #writing #applying fictional logic to reality in general is a brain dead take #for every ''evil wont stop until its killed'' narrative there's a ''be nice and lend a hand and redemption will come'' as well #fiction as a tool for philosophy is useful as a hypothetical but at the end of the day thats all it is #a hypothetical. it cannot and should not hold up to reality #once your foundation for ethics is built off of fabricated situations you can argue for literally anything #what tags should I use for this I want to really shake up the hornet's nest.#literary analysis babyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy #ive seen ''batman can save lives if he just killed the joker'' far too many times unironically #its a comic book plot the joker can will and did come back from the dead. multiple times
