i find it really interesting how some Cait defenders talk (and don't get me wrong, i actually sympathize A LOT with her, and i hate that she's in pain) because they act as if the only thing she's doing is trying to kill Jinx (and that's what she says, sure, and i don't blame her for wanting that) but like. she literally used a biochemical weapon against a whole community to "get them out" so they wouldn't "get hurt" in the crossfire. girlie ????? that shit can literally kill you or fuck up your lungs/organs forever. it's the whole reason (SPOILER FOR THE GAME!!!) Singed's daughter Orianna (if that's really her) "died". Caitlyn shot Vi and was willing to risk shooting a kid to get Jinx. no one is mad at her for wanting revenge (it's completely her right, even if you morally disagree), they're mad because a privileged cop keeps putting people she barely sees as humans in danger for a personal feud. also she's a fascist now.
#like there's a lot of intricacies in the interpersonal cycle of violence between the characters#and jinx is definitely NOT innocent despite how much her fans (me included) might love her#but. you have to remember that cait's not just a girl from piltover#she's an aristocrat. a counselor's daughter. AND a cop#she has a lot more power status and money than all of zaun combined#she was complacent to the undercity's oppression for years#and now she's an active participant in it#her position is not the same as other characters' in this conflict#personally she can go beat jinx up all she wants. just duke it the hell out#politically though her actions carry the weight of years of violence against a disenfranchised community#police brutality is a very real thing both in the show and in real life#as long as she wears a badge caitlyn will never be exempt of that#and that's why there's such a negative response to her#ANYWAYS#yapping section over#arcane#arcane spoilers#league of legends spoilers#important addition just so we're clear: i do not!!! think cait is irredeemable#i'm a big fan of redemption to anyone who seeks it#you can become a better person always and forever
