being punk and seeing fictional punks get mistreated and thrown around as if their fundamental beliefs aren't *that* important has been a new pet peeve of mine.
Like I don't even ship with them (yet.) but ultimately I end up being defense squad bcus fictional punks can't have shit without people eventually removing their beliefs from them 🗿🗿🗿

Yes, thought-crime isn't, and shouldn't ever be, real. That just means the government can't criminalize you for thoughts you've only had in your head & not carried out into action though, it doesn't mean that every single thought you voluntarily and consciously* choose to have is all fine and dandy, morally speaking. Something not being a crime (and it being nigh impossible and generally an all-around terrible idea to even *attempt* to criminalize) ≠ said thing being morally correct or even morally neutral.
You're legally allowed to have opinions that are morally wrong. I'm legally allowed to judge you and call you out for it. I might even say it to your face. It might even hurt your feelings.
(*intrusive thoughts being a thing that exists)

i dont think i have the energy to fully articulate this but i notice a very common interpretation of Jod is that he is a master manipulator and if you think he is complex or sympathetic you have fallen for his clever ruse which. Is ironically the more simplistic way of thinking about it. Like people think a person is either fully innocent or intentionally, maliciously terrible on purpose. There's no room for like...self deception, or delusion, or false memories, or how trauma effects your memory. No, everything is either part of a meticulous lie, or it is true, so if you do not view everything he says as false then you must take what he says at face value. "Unreliable narrator!!!!" they scream. Okay, but unreliable narrator does not mean "narrator who lies." It just means narrator who says things that aren't true or are only half true. A thing doesn't need to be true for a person to think it is the truth when they say it. I think the Jod monologues in NtN was him being completely honest about his perspective of what happened. I don't need another boring all knowing evil lying bad man who just pretends to be good. Jod is interesting because he's kind of fucking pathetic and cowardly and he is more afraid of being a bad person than he is of doing bad things. Which is what wigs me out when people say "well i simply wouldn't have done evil things, because im very smart, and noble and good." Because it is that very perception of, and obsession with, being "good" that leads Jod to make batshit stupid decisions and then lie to himself about it so he can go on. "well im different, i simply wouldn't blow up the planet" is exactly the kind of thing that someone who would definitely blow up the planet under the right kind of stress would say.
