I just cant stand reading about MC's that constantly spout 'Never kill'. Nevermind the fact that the enemies have made multiple attempts on your friends and loved ones life!! Or even yours. It is extremely unrealistic because the average person WILL toss "laws and morality" out the damned window when someone tries to tear their wife, children, mother, father, etc.'s throat out right. Nevermind it happening MULTIPLE TIMES. I just can't read that crap. As much as I find a beta-mc annoying at times, which is in its own way, also unrealistic, I find these "holier than thou" types even more infuriating.
I love it when they also say, "If we kill, we will become no better than them."
.....I just can't summon the energy to explain why that statement is such an utter load of bullshit so I won't bother trying.
That's why when people start complaining about the concept of "capitol punishment", and how wrong it is, I always tell them to refer their opinions to those who families were ripped apart by your friendly neighborhood serial killers, gangsters, and so on and so forth. I'm likely extremely cynical, but I find self-righteous people, overly idealistic people, and the like nauseatingly pretentious and I sometimes feel physically nauseous when I read them because I've experienced these people, and I've also had the pleasure of seeing their bullshit collapse around them when the real world reared it's ugly head.
They never take such exposure very well and by the gods, they think of you as a hellion incarnate if you say "I told you so". Sadly, shounen is drowning in these types and I just avoid the genre now. I rarely read manga/watch anime anymore because I;m concerned about being exposed to anymore of these idiots. Oh man....Naruto broke me of anime. That whole Sasuke Uchiha thing and his clan. That dude should be rotting flesh in an unmarked grave like any other criminal of his type, but lo and behold, he was best buds with MC so lovey-dovey peace-weacy mercy-wercy happened and all is forgiven.
