Honestly I'm not sure if this thread is sarcastic or what. I mean, the whole "I think it's okay to drive bandits mad and condemn them to the Soul Cairn for their crimes". I mean, that's a valid viewpoint, but I'm not sure anyone would phrase it like that. And then there's all this IHNMaIMS stuff. (Wow I didn't realize how long that title was before.) And yeah, hard to follow. So I'm pretty much with Ikabite here.

As for the topic: prolly just a cultural thing. A lot of cultures make kind of arbitrary distinctions about things and then stigmatize them based on that. Like Ikabite mentioned: guns. They're seen as horrible destructive weapons in some circles, whereas knives are fine I guess?

Really it just comes down to "that's the way the culture turned out, and it's been self-reinforced ever since".
