[QUOTE="Velderan, post: 8818221, member: 7038056"] I read that as you saying you thought the actions would be at best considered neutral, which I'd agree that part is pretty fair to discuss. The second part about what's acceptable in 2022? That's extremely personal and implying your thoughts reflect a large enough group to imply a product isn't viable is what I was saying comes off as pretty arrogant. Personally, I'm frequently both pleasantly surprised and horrified by things happening in our world so clearly my morals aren't 100% in-line with the world as a whole and I'd never suggest otherwise. For some things, sure. For others, not so much. To avoid breaking forum rules I'm not going to go into specifics and I hope I wouldn't need to anyhow, but there plenty of examples of things in pretty much every faith's religious doctrine that are observed today in 2022 that a portion of the population would find immoral and others would find it perfectly fine. The religious dogma being presented in DL isn't unique in that aspect and it clearly doesn't work for everyone as evidenced here, but it also doesn't need to. Not every piece of media is meant for 100% of the audience. Ultimately a story needs a protagonist though and while I also have heard people I personally know say "I can't watch HotD because I just can't get behind either side", some people don't need that absolute moral alignment with a bit of media to enjoy it. 9.3m people were comfortable enough with the morally questionable characters to tune in the night the last episode aired.
