Jerry’s got an answer for everything huh?
“I really got to lol at u for thinking you made a point. Valithria is literally only evil because God conditioned her to be that way.’
Jerry, I gotta ask why you think Valithria isn’t supposed to be sympathetic, because you keep writing everything about them to BE that way. They’re a victim of circumstance, they never wanted their job, it’s not HER fault she’s an asshole, God made her that way.
This is a writing tactic used to shift the blame for a character’s actions onto something else, absolving them of responsibility and making them sympathetic to the audience who may start to see their actions differently. The characters actions are no longer their own because they don’t want to do that, don’t know any other way because of how they were raised, they’re just doing their job and take no pleasure in it, etc.
This character is a murderer because they were abused as a child. It’s not THEIR fault! They had no choice! If only someone had shown them kindness.
The only difference is that you just keep telling us Valithria doesn’t want sympathy. If you don’t want her to be sympathetic, than stop coming up with excuses for her actions when it’s convenient to whatever argument you’re trying to make.
