I will always maintain that Wei Wuxian was in the right for what he did during the Sunshot Campaign. It is morally right and even necessary to resist violent oppression with violence. Any handwringing on how oppression is fought and what kind of violence fits the bar for “good enough to not be labeled a bad guy” in the face of fighting oppression is the same as siding with said oppression.

The fact that wwx only does what he does during wartime to the people trying to oppress him but drops these behaviors completely during peacetime says a lot about his character. Meanwhile, the wartime tactics the Wen used is what the rest of the cultivation world adopt during peacetime, wonder what that says about them 🤔

#mdzs #honestly this discourse has gone from mildly annoying #to slightly triggering #so this will be my last engagement with this for a while #but the way people talk about wwx during this time period is absolutely maddening #especially since it relies on erasing A LOT of the wen clan crimes #in order to paint wwx as ‘excessive’ and a ‘violent maniac’#i do not believe that this is a discourse #that can be divorced from real world politics and events #and so many people need to ask themselves why #the oppressed fighting back makes them uncomfortable #and why an individual striving for retribution against a horrific crime committed against him #scares y’all so much
