I feel more people within the tristrat fandom need to understand that Roland's chapter 17 decision is not bc he actually believes Hyzante is correct but because he's gotten to such a point of desperation where he sees that as the only option left.

Like, his main motivation does not change, and it's the reason why he's the one that represents Morality. Because that motivation has always been to protect and make better the lives of as many people as possible, and this is clear in basically every decision of his aside from maybe when deciding to reveal his identity to Svarog or not. Even his chapter 17 decision is out of a desire to help people, it's just no longer as noble when you're not part of the few being sacrificed for the many.

And it's why he willingly renounces his 17 decision in all other endings and admits to his own cowardice.

#Also I feel more people need to remember that the Morality Utility and Liberty endings are BAD ENDINGS #And the only good ending is the golden ending #Also the fact people act like Roland is the one being hypocritical during chapter 17 #He's not! All three of them are are :D #And just like with Benedict his ending is him becoming the worst version of himself #Don't get me wrong though #There's no saving utility ending Roland #And I would gladly beat utility Roland to death with a steel chair #But I see so many takes that feel like people just completely throw out and ignore all of Rolands characterization once they hit chapter 17 #Triangle strategy #triangle strategy spoilers #Roland glenbrook #Kelbunn's rambles #Roland is not as horrible of a person as some people make him out to be #Unless it's Utility Roland
