No I need to rant about it I don’t care at this point. I really REALLY don’t care if you don’t like achilles because of his actions that’s so fucking fair like really have at it keep doing what you’re doing, but PLEASE for the love of GOD stop acting like he is a shallow character without depth or reasoning. You can extend empathy and justify and moralize the actions of all your other favorite war criminals so why is it so difficult for you to actually read into his depth. It’s not like I’m asking for a lot here! Just please stop saying baseless things because you don’t like the guy. And please stop trying to moralize the actions of men in war. Specifically Hector of Troy because no he’s not the “only good man” he also killed men and taunted them as they died and despite whether or not you think he was JUST doing it to protect his city he was doing it for that reason AND because he didn’t want to be shunned as a man for not fighting and have his pride and image injured. Hector killed men viciously and liked it idk why that’s so hard for you guys to understand. And while I’m on the rant no Troy the city was also not a victim of imperialism I don’t know where the fuck that came from but I’m so tired. I’m so tired.
