Ive said for a long time why Em is nothing to me. If you question something is wrong you should go with that thought. My mother raised me and i love her. But if she slapped me, told me to know my place and killed people while mentally masturbating to their scream i would kill her and never look back. I dont care. What the absolute fuck are you talking about? Remember what I said about his quite frankly disgusting views of people in abusive relationships? This is what I was talking about.

@KNN: The fact that your childishly limited morality doesn't allow you to view them as sympathetic doesn't mean they're not. Mercury has, by all acounnts, had a shit life so far. He's been given no reason to care about anyone other than himself, and so he doesn't. He's a product of his environment, and that's what makes his character sympathetic. Emerald is the victim of an abusive relationship. Torchwick I don't really get beyond the fact that he really didn't have a choice in the proceedings after he signed on to work with Cinder.
