Comment by Moonchild on The Hounds of Sisyphus - Chapter 19

@Moonchild I think most people, including myself, are put off by the fact that this was a case of morality vs majority, and a display of how Guwon has a somewhat broken moral compass. The man who was beaten to death, if it's true, did it for his son with no intention to hurt anyone else, yet despite knowing this, people still voted for his death. Just as the mian character is disgusted by the people's actions, I think it's reasonable for people to label guwon's actions as "black flag" behavior. There are many variables that go into this, but there is a clear display of a lack of empathy and human evil that has presented itself throughout history. So, to competely agree with what they have done is rather questionable. Although, little has been revealed about what exactly is happening in the story, so we might not be getting the full picture. Regardless, what he did was definitely scary and indefensible to a considerable extent.

@Cofu

i might have worded my comment wrong with agreeing with what they did?

I meant that I agree with the action/consequence but also see that how they conducted the whole thing was a complete barbarism.
Maybe a diferent approach would have been a bit 🤏 better.
I see that the moralism here is fuc*** up but their world is fucke up so i get their morals being diferent, and completely wrong in our eyes.
