#and b) they inhabit a hugely different moral framework from the one we're dealing with

like. shorter version: grizzop is a funky little dude who cares so incredibly deeply about his family and friends, who’s dedicated himself to making the world better, and who just has a lot of swagger. his struggles against prejudice and the shortness of his lifespan are extremely compelling.

he also uses his faith to justify the fact that violence is nearly always his first answer to a problem; he never questions whether he might be wrong and sometimes seems genuinely convinced that he’s better than a good chunk of the people he meets, including occasionally his own friends.

i’m not saying you can’t love him, especially when violence and the black-and-white nature of good are sort of baked into the setting, but whenever i see people act like he’s some exemplar of virtue i just... Yikes.

#theyre all professional murderers now #but most of them fell into it #sasha was the first to attempt nonlethal damage on the people who meant to Kidnap her #and she was supposed to be morally ambiguous #hamid made a very abrupt shift to pro-killing which quite frankly i found alarming #azu and cel are still p anti murder #but grizzop was a bounty hunter before this even started #tbh i think looking for a good moral reasoner in this podcast is doomed to failure #bc a) its improv a lot of it isn't going to be super coherent or well thought-out #and b) they inhabit a hugely different moral framework from the one we're dealing with #that's subject to both some in-world differences re: gods defining morality #(plus the fact that its semihistorical and there are fewer non-murder solutions to certain problems) #but also because on a meta-level they're in a game where the whole point is to get better at killing stuff #like. imagine how weird hamid's power growth would be if he refused to use fireball on anything sentient #okay thats lots of tags yeah? #so for my own categorization i think: #rqg #rqg grizzop
