Just wanted to say something on the thing that happened that kind of blew up off of a plurk; I'm one of the ones that was threading on the post in question with a character that is a "Hero" character who was uncomfortable IC'ly with the announcement and trying to talk down; the IC reasoning mostly had to do with said character being someone who's done some things in the past that were horrible, wants to make amends, and was not comfortable with the idea of it being "This is Good and Moral" for what my character was seeing as "You have arbitrary amnesty for your past misdeeds because you're being a Good Person now, but should be okay with killing other people in similar situations of duress for being Bad People", as well as some other things where I have OOC moments of "Dude your perspective's a little borked" for other reasons from their world/background + being a character that is prone to pragmatism in their interpretation of morality.

So basically while I am not the Natasha player who was namedropped, I'm one of the ones that would be in the same category with the complaint about "All these people that are supposed to be Good characters trying to talk him down", and considering that Natasha is a character who Did Horrible Things and would've been killed long ago if someone were doing Black and White Judge, Jury, Executioner morality with regards to her, if the player's characterization is wrong for "Natasha is not comfortable with someone saying that any Good Person should kill people like her for being Bad People", then I'm also OOC and horrible because my character was IC'ly uncomfortable with it for some overlapping reasons. I enjoy IC morality/worldview debates and watching characters with wildly different standards of normal or ideas of how things work trip over each other, but it's very uncomfortable when it's being OOC'ly judged and may include the assumption that I'll be OOC'ly judged for it.



Knowing that the player is taking it as an OOC "I should be violently angry for days at a time because I don't agree with the IC morality decisions of other people's characters" is uncomfortable enough. I am even less comfortable with the idea of threading with someone where I'd have to look at my tags and weigh if something that is normal for my character is going to be something I'M being judged for, or where my characterization is going to be judged by if someone else things my character is being "heroic and good" enough, particularly with a character where I already KNOW that their standards of morality and normalcy are NOT mine. I've also been through other drama in other games with other people related to issues with "Because my character is Good they're supposed to be out to get all the Evil characters and I'll be OOC'ly frustrated and consider it OOC if other Good characters aren't necessarily on board with this/don't have the same IC definition of morality as what I consider Good"; I had some wonderful accidental long-term CR and hilarious character development come of it afterwards, but it was pretty damn miserable while it was happening, and it's not something I'm in a big hurry to repeat.
