REMEMBER: We are not sf_drama/sfd_anon or 4chan. Pornographic images/shock site crap will be deleted; racewank, genderwank, wankbaiting, trolling attempts, etc. will be frozen if not outright deleted (it really has gotten dull.) This is not the community to discuss such issues.

Sharing friends-locked posts, chat logs, or similar without permission is not cool and will be taken down if one of the parties involved requests it.

IP logging is OFF as a test run. We will turn it back on if things get out of hand. Please don't hesitate to let us know about any problem threads here.

We have gotten some complaints about the amount of spam. Please try to limit related topics, both RP and otherwise, to one thread per page when possible. If it gets out of hand, comments may be deleted. For example, we don't need an entire page filled with Goggles related threads.

Captcha is turned on to make things more streamlined, since it turns on half the time anyway.

Guards at the concentration camps in Germany were just doing their job, too.

Doing ones job does not prevent one from being evil. You should understand this by now. The "just doing our job" argument died over fifty years ago.

Kyubey is rightfully labelled evil, because his methods were evil by definition. Yes, they were for the greater good (which is a typical thing to justify atrocities, btw), but it's like someone running around killing people to harvest their organs to save other people.
Saving people is noble, but killing people to do so is fucking not.

"Evil" is a moralistic term, and the Incubators are incapable of comprehending human morals because they have no human emotions. I believe the word you're looking for is "unethical." But evil? Nope, sorry, try again.

Also, bring up Nazi Germany is tacky and inappropriate. Just like, you know, Anne Frank being a magical girl was tacky and inappropriate.

A better word might be "amoral." Without morals. Ethics usually pertains to the discussion of what constitutes morality (aka good and evil). Being unethical presupposes that one understands the moral code, but chooses to ignore it. Kyubey, in a sense, has no morals so there is no need for a discussion of morality. His kind is basically the pinnacle of heightened rationality.

No problem! I get tripped up a lot by the terms too and I definitely don't understand them completely. Part of the reason why I'm not much into philosophy.

Uhm, it's perfectly okay.

That is the point in history when the "just did our job" justification crashed and burned.

No, comparing fictional characters to Nazis is really not cool and can really make people uncomfortable.

You are comparing the suffering of five cartoon girls at the hands of a cartoon alien to seventeen million real human beings who were brutalized and murdered by other human beings.

How can you not see how completely inappropriate that is?!

Why not use an example like the IRS or something.

No one likes them.

I think you're taking this a little too seriously.
