This was because some people took the concept of them a little too seriously, and didn't realize it is jsut a game. Likewise players can often get too serious with alignments. If the subject i a touchy one for someone in thr group, then avoid it best you can. But everyone seems fine with killing these things.What you have to do is disassociate yourself from your character. We already do this in regards to game mechanics, and with things we may know about the game, other players, and NPC, a monster we have seen 100 times before, so at times we have to step back and look at the game from the world of the PCs and disassociate ourselves from them.It is easy to play yourself int he game, and MANY people do. The PC acts as you do or would, does what you would most times, etc.But you need to just realize, it is not the real world and say "WWTD?"Not everyone can separate completely, as I recall something about a writer that flipped while researching a book and went off the deep end unable to return. That is why you leaves things out you don't want to deal with, sex, slavery, drugs, alcohol even.Like everything else in the game world and entertainment, you has to accept the world to enjoy it. Take Avatar, killing for meat is ok, but they don't like it, but have to, while in the real world some people believe killing for or eating meat shouldn't be done. Na'vi are a spiritual race that works with nature, while I have seen people (vegan and vegetarian) not wanting to eat meat in the real world drive gas guzzlers and litter all over the place. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f641.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":(" title="Frown    :("  data-smilie="3"data-shortname=":(" />So you have to set your limits within the group that you all can accept what is to be included in the game, and then set aside yourself, and step into the POV of the character you are playing.Internal moral conflict and dilemma often comes without having to worry about arguing over alignment for many, it is called remorse.It just takes some practice for some, and others a lot more, but remember the events in the game isn't happening in the world today, but a completely fake world.</blockquote>
