>>2897384>Factually statements aren't matters of opinionTheir meaning is. Again hence why I keep bringing the autism back into this, it's a hardship for autistic people to be unable to not take something at face value.
>Hence obsession with overthrowing J.This is where I disagree with. I don't think that's his main goal at all, just part of what he needs to do to get to his main goal. The one thread between every genuine interaction he has is how he doesn't want to be controlled "toyed" by J. To do that he must earn his respect. You must learn the differences between facts and opinions anon.
>ignore character wordsInterpret the words beyond their literal sense BECAUSE of his actions. As anyone should do.
>sure that definitely isn't setting off threatening auraNo, it looks quite a lot like anger from insecurity, not threatening at all. Mako seems to take great pride in being taken seriously, J doesn't take him seriously.
>The dodge is ignoring the obvious point that both Makoto and Beatrix have the same legitimate motivations for their revenge quests: acts of incredible cruelty from a loved oneDebatable. I don't think the rape was an act of cruelty and I also think Mako doesn't either, with the backing that he doesn't mentions that like he mentions his dislike for being manipulated.
>this narrative pointNo, I'm thinking you're imagining this narrative point, for whatever reason. Maybe for you the act of rape has an objective negative value which for me it doesn't and that imo allows me to judge the story impartially in contrast to you.
>how different hell is from the crime worldYes because different setting put different weights on the same actions. Nobody in real life or in the crime world survives dismemberment, there aren't heaps of people who'd like to fuck an open neck, these sorts of supernatural elements reduce the gravity of whatever act is committed.
