Comment by male fujoshi on trashcan

@trashcan i love how you're so confident in being wrong. he was arbitrarily killed, that's not "survival of the fittest". survival of the fittest is in regards to natural selection, it's about natural death due to biological constraints (getting too weak from sickness, not being able to be hungry for too long, etc). was it not for guwon, he would still be alive and kicking.
if you kill everyone in a room and you're the only person left, it doesn't mean that you were the fittest for survival.

if anything, stealing med to help his son was actually a very resilient act that showcased survival of the fittest better : he knew where to go and what to do to help his son, he was able to adapt and react accordingly and swiftly to his son getting sick.

@male fujoshi You're right, I'm sorry for mixing it up. What I meant was that everyone makes it so easy for themselves by just hating, without considering how hard it is to survive in their current situation. If there was no medicine left and the people that leave the village to look for supplies get hurt, how would they treat them? It's a complicated situation and think the way 945 makes us question morals is amazing

@male fujoshi

the whole thing you explained was literally just a longer version of my first comment. I have no idea what the point of all that was since u seem to agree with the gist of it lmfao. Reread my comment because your comprehension was so bad it's almost painful to see. There's only 1 part we seem to disagree on :

"it's about natural death due to biological constraints (getting too weak from sickness, not being able to be hungry for too long, etc)." Wrong. Google is one click away, check the full meaning of surivival of the fittest since you're limiting its definition for some reason. I won't bother explaining what you can just google.

Your last statement is just plain dumb. Knowing where medicine is is not "resilience" nor "adapting". If he did adapt in any way to his situation, he would've offered to go with the hounds outside to bring more medicine. He risked his life, and risked leaving his son fatherless, to steal from people who protected him instead of risking his life out there for it. But why you brought up this character an example when we were comparing the rule-system with an idiom I have no idea. This is irrelevant to what I was talking about anyway - one character's behavior is irrelevant to the definition of an idiom. If anything, you're just contradicting yourself by first saying "that's not survival of the fittest" and then beinging up how one of the characters "showcase survival of the fittest". Pick a lane. It's painfully obvious you're trying to argue just for the sake of it, so I'll leave it here.
