#War is Hell

[short-wooloo]

I feel like people miss the point of the "war is bad" message

What it's supposed to mean is that war is terrible, it's destructive, it ruins lives, it leaves scars, and you should only partake in it when there are no other options, because even if you win, even if you survive, you will not be the same, which is why the phrase used to be more commonly known as "war is hell"

But "war is bad" seems to have been construed by people in fandom into "any fighting is bad, if you fight you're morally terrible and impure, you should not fight at all, no matter what", this is annoying in fandom, as it often misses the point fiction is trying to make, but what's worrisome is when people apply this to real life, as I have seen people do regarding russia's invasion of Ukraine

And that's almost never the point of "War is Bad" works

Works like Lord of the Rings, Avatar The Last Airbender, Transformers, The Clone Wars, Halo (especially Reach), etc all have themes on how horrible war is, but they categorically do not say it is wrong to fight, what they say is usually along the lines of "war is terrible, and what makes it so terrible is that we have no choice but to fight, it would be ideal if we didn't have to fight at all, but we must fight, because not fighting is not an option, because not fighting, not opposing tyranny, conquest, and evil only allows those things to exist unimpeded"

I like to think the Illuminate tried to avoid civilian casualties as much as possible during the first galactic war. Now? Now they just want us fucking dead. The first war was a war of survival for them. This war is a war of genocide and vengeance. They've become the monsters Super Earth painted them as in the first war, just like the bugs and bots.

"The Siege of AR-558" (S07E08, Stardate UNKNOWN) is one of my favorite DS9 episodes. Not because it is action packed, but because it is so raw. It shows the very real toll of war, not just the space battles that look cool. The costs we forget that are very real in the here and now.

I kept things simple for my episode poster, focusing on the ground troops who were stranded for months on that barren rock.

""Putin – Fuck – Putin – Fuck" shouted at Russia's Embassy in Yerevan, Armenia, among other things this evening after Azerbaijan restarted it wars of aggression against the people of Armenia today. Russia had gotten itself designated as "peace keeper" in the conflict, but didn't do nothing to keep peace once the aggression restarted."

I'd just like to share that I'm replaying ogre tactics:knight of lodis and every time I corner some poor enemy my brain goes

The horrors of war,the commodification of the common man into a tool of pain,the animosity born from propaganda,the petty squabbles of the fortunate,the detachment of human from their soul,the greed of the rich

Like I don't wanna hunt a fallen angel or whatever,I wanna grab a guillotine and bring death to those who started this squabble that turned my main character into a cold blooded manhunter
