Asshole Victim: Difference between revisions

Line 571:

* While the player commits many atrocities in the Death Knight starting quests in ''[[World of Warcraft]]'', often against civilians, the primary opponents are the [[Knight Templar|Scarlet Crusade]], which tortures and kills perceived enemies, and whose leadership leaves many of the civilians to die in order to flee and attack the Scourge in Northrend. The Lich King's forces may still be worse, but the Scarlet Crusade is also considered an enemy by the other groups fighting the Lich King because of their [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|extremist]] positions.

** By "perceived enemies," they mean "anybody who might be corrupted by the Scourge." And by "anybody who might be corrupted by the Scourge," they mean "anybody who isn't part of the Scarlet Crusade."

** Also in [[Warcraft]] 3, on the one hand we have Varimathras, a demon lord of the Burning Legion that intends to conquer Azeroth and destroy everything. We also have Grand Marshal Garithos, commander of the last surviving forces of Lordaeron fighting to the end to save his homeland from demons. So why are we applauding when Varimathas kills Garithos? Because Garithos is just ''that huge'' of a smug, sneering, racist asshole. [[General Failure|Also, he's an idiot.]]

** Also in [[Warcraft]] 3, you probably still cheer for Varimathras when he kills [[General Ripper|Garithos]].

** In Mount Hyjal, your character infiltrates the Twilight's Hammer to conduct sabotage. To prove your loyalty, you have are ordered to execute some of the failed applicants who are held in detention. Luckily for you, the Twilight's Hammer functions on [[Klingon Promotion]] and every single prisoner is more than happy to attack you and offer your blood as a sacrifice to the [[Eldritch Abomination|Old Gods]].

* In ''[[Final Fantasy VII]]'', [[Big Bad|Sephiroth]] murders [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|President Shinra]]. This is the same president who [[Moral Event Horizon|ordered the destruction of an entire neighborhood]] [[Disproportionate Retribution|just to get rid of some]] [[Your Terrorists Are Our Freedom Fighters|terrorists]]
