#again maybe this is just becuase i skipped the ant arc :|

[burialuntrue2007]

maybe this is just because i havent been around hxh enough yet and i havent really  invested in the manga or the ant arc but i just dont get why people make such a fine point that gon is .like.. amoral........ people LOVE to talk about how amoral he is .........and like yes it is obvious that gon doesnt really have any interest in codes and that he navigates a brutal world more easily than you would expect a normal 12-year-old to. but truly i dont see where people get the idea that gon has no set conscience or consistent goodwill............. ive heard it said “oh gon is only kind to people he has an interest in!!” well ok maybe but gon has an interest in SO many people.... everywhere he goes he constantly makes friends and lavishes goodwill on people...... thats not a NEGATIVE character trait its a positive one......... maybe hes not 100%  CONSISTENT about his goodwill but generally hes anything but cruel ....... he almost never acts in a  mean-spirited way to anyone even people who are malicious to him.... he has mercy on people that others might judge (for example he’s not phased by killuas backstory and he has no problem with letting that murderer from greed island go) but again having grace is not exactly a bad thing in a person....... and when people are heinously evil and dont deserve mercy gon does have TONS of animosity for them (see his reactions to the phantom troupe and illumi)...... and anyway it seems to me that so much of gons personality (his curiosity, his interest in life, his will to fight) is coloured by the fact that he is TWELVE............and acting like a child....................... i just feel like when people focus on gons morality being different from other peoples morality its ... like... picking out a couple of dark moments and judging a little kid who has barely lived at all and who has suffered quite a bit for not acting like a fully-developed and perfect adult... i dont get it
