#also I deleted a bunch of stuff cause I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable with personal stuff

wondering when this fandom will figure out that 'actually modern medical ethics says it's completely fine for a doctor to do literally any procedure they want to without consent to someone they think is having a mental health crisis' is not the enlightened take they think it is. This exact logic has definitely not been used to justify anything problematic at all, ever. :|

I tend to be largely of the opinion that modern medical ethics is irrelevant to this fictional story set in ancient low fantasy China, and turning into a modern medical ethics debate ignores the point of it in the story, i.e. that it was insane and ethically questionable and he did it anyway because he would stop at nothing, he would go to any lengths to protect Jiang Cheng, no matter the cost, no matter how much it might hurt him, no matter how implausible or impossible, whether or not he wanted it, and that was very sexy of him.

But if people are going to keep spewing that sort of nonsense in the tags and bring modern real life topics into it they could at least bother to think for half a second about what they're saying :/
