    I once came across a system in No Man’s Sky with planets named “Griffith did nothing wrong” and “casca enjoyed it”. Truly a wild system.

    My exwife has a large slytherin tattoo. That house in pottery is just “the bad guys”. There’s not charecter arch or deeper meaning, no complexity in writing.

    They are just the bad guys, who are evil and mean. That’s it. She loves em.

      A lot of people have Empire tattoos, Decepticon tattoos, and so on. Fictional bad guys are just cool.

        They need to be more than bad guys. Darth Wader started as good guy, than became a bad guy, than redeemed himself. Nobody normal has a tattoo of nurse Ratchet.

        I love Zeon/Neo Zeon mobile suits. Don’t agree with the views, but damn do they have some cool designs.

          I mean, spacenoid rights, which is what Zeon Diekun preached, was not the same as the as the Principality of Zeon, which is the Zabi Family dictatorship, and the ones that gassed and dropped a colony.

        She doesn’t have a snape tattoo. She has slytherin and deatheater tattoos.

            Idk I think Malfoy gets it rough, kid was basically raised in and surrounded by a cult 24/7 with the threat of being ostracized by his family, friends and basically everyone he’d ever known if he put a foot out of line. The fact that he got any redemption arc at all even if it was late is more than a lot of indoctrinated people manage IRL.

            A stalker who worshipped one woman because she talked to him as a child and he decided to abuse orphaned children caused by the very hate group he was a part of. As Voldemort is supposed to be placed during WW2, snape became a NAZI by choice… Then only decided to oppose them when Hitler decided to kill someone he cared about.

            Why he is such an ass to Neville we’ll never understand.

              I thought he hated Neville because who the chosen one was prophecy described either Harry or Neville, and Voldemort went after Harry, sealing who the prophecy was and sealing Harry’s mother’s fate, making Snape hate him because Neville’s parents could have died instead of a woman that would have never gotten with his shit ass.

              But it’s been ages since I’ve read the books.

                Nevilles parents were tortured to insanity by Snapes friend. “Not his friend” walks into his home and he doesn’t kill them. How do we know it was done before… Because they did it before Voldemort died. He was a baby who was orphaned because Snape was and will always be, worse than 99% of NAZI’s. His actions after proved it

        I mean, he pretty clearly set the record. That irrespective of his appearance, clothing, situation, or anything else, he is a severely homicidal lunatic. One of the more effective scenes. (I liked darth Vader’s “nooooo” as well)

          Rorschach is basically the Punisher - it’s only luck that he likes to kill and torture “bad people”, and he shows himself that he’s pretty flexible on the definition of “bad”.

            As a non-Irish-catholic who was not alive in 1940s America, I honestly can’t make heads or tails of how conventional or steadfast his morals are, for that crowd. It’s a common mistake to reference modern or personally felt sentiments as objective, when they are not. They are exceedingly contemporaneous and location dependent.

            But he’s a violent, insane, religious man in the 60s, so there’s probably something off beyond turning the dial up to 1100

      sometimes good men have to play the devil just to get anything done.

        Maybe that thing never really needed doing, if it’s only means for operation was via evil means. Maybe that whole system just needed to be entirely dismantled.

    is the tattoo of the brand that bad? I mean, as long as they realize what it means.

    personally I always wanted one because I felt my life was forfeit to the machine that runs our world and wanted a constant memory to become a stubborn thorn in the side of the ruling class just like Gutz.

      A lot of people think it means “i am big strong guts man” just like the punish supposedly means “im a cop who punishes people”

      To me, it means constant struggle against a world that has forsaken you. You are a currency to be spent, and the only escape is constant effort to free yourself and your loved ones.

      I love berserk.

      I agree. I interpret it as a form of rebellion against the throes of perdition and fighting demons that plague the human condition like greed, anger, etc. The mark makes him aware of the affliction that some men carry.

      The first two are from berserk, the third is from monster. The first one is a mark for sacrifice, the other two are the perfect psychopath archetype. I (and someone else here) think the mark doesn’t fit because it has a great message about strugging and fighting the greater powers of the world.
