It's not really an assumption when he says things like this:
Probably could be better organized, tbh. But yeah, I have quite a few images saved from all the conversations I have on here, and try to have some others saved up that might come in handy later for future conversations.
And here I was thinking that in the story the guy was so easy to empathize with haha.
Yeah, that's actually how imagine god
Well, I never tried to create an scenario that could fit in Sensei story, just bring in some examples of how judging if someone's being is good or... not good?
I'm definitely expecting some remorse from Nodoka. I'll be disappointed in her if she simply ignores her last conversation with Futaba.
Yeah I definitely have a very different way of seeing and interpreting things, because I don't think we're perceiving Senesei's words the same way haha, but I already explained before how I understand this kind of speeches from sensei, so I'm not going to repeat myself again here.
I mean I do feel sorry for the guy, but I also feel sorry for the ones who died at his hands. The local guerrilla can be turned inside out and forced to live forever, alone, in an infinite desert full of invincible fire ants though. I'd be a wrathful god probably, lmao.
Random, but If I were to compare us to the characters, you probably see things more like Noriko, while I see things more like Nodoka.
I'm not seeing a bad reason for those specific cases. Out of the four examples I named in the inline spoilers, only the third and fourth seem to have a bad reason behind his actions. If I remember correctly, even Sensei was questioning why he was doing some of the things he did without a bad reason behind doing them.
I highly doubt it, he would have done that by now if he had planned on it. It's already at the point where a chapter split would be effective from an exclusively storage based standpoint, so his usual method would have already had this happening if he planned on it at all. My best guess, we're going to maintain the non-split game we have now.
Yes, this is absolutely possible. A person, or character in LiL for that matter, can think one thing and do another even if that action seems to go against what they are thinking and doesn't seem to have any benefit toward the original thought even after the fact. Sensei could help a girl without it needing to be connected to his overall plan to fuck every last one of them just because he wants to help them for whatever reason.
No, their actions are morally bad in both of your examples and even their intent would be morally bad in these examples. These are both examples of a pretty clear case of bad actions taken for bad reasons even if there is no other choice.
It's only an ulterior motive if that was the motivation behind the action. In most cases with Sensei, yes, this is the motive. In a select few, it cannot clearly be said that it is.
If grooming a teenager into trusting you, so that you can fuck them, and making yourself feel better for the things you've already done to them, aren't "bad reasons", then I guess that's just how you see things.
You more or less just said what Nodoka has been saying, just with an added caveat that he has "good in him" which I dont recall Nodoka ever saying he didn't, so I'm not sure why you'd say she's wrong.
Lol, Maya knows what's up:Maya posted this isn’t it
He attempts to care in other ways, though. It is yet shallow - perhaps immature would be a better way to put it - has a lot of trouble growing and defaults to his usual entirely self-interested dynamics when push comes to shove for now, but the attempts are there. He is cowardly because he doesn't want to indulge in the kind of care he and Sekai had for each other, but also doesn't know anything else and is not sure he is even capable of anything else. Nodoka, on the other hand, seemingly feels no hesitation to embrace the exact kind of behavior Sekai cultivated, which is certainly less cowardly, but I would struggle to call it better.
Sensei is more cowardly, not because he cares about others, but because he cares about how others will see him. His attempts at caring are more like excuses he creates to ignore how he really is, and masks to keep others from seeing what's underneath. If he actually cared, there would be no need to even attempt to try.
If all he cared about was how others see him, he wouldn't avoid several relationships others would approve or accept, and he wouldn't try to develop several others in the directions that while not much different from outside perspective are very different from an inside one. At the very least, he also cares about how he sees himself, and he wants to see himself as someone who cares. Whether there's any difference between that and actually caring is a rather philosophical debate full of vagueness. In any case, there's certainly a need to try when the example of "caring for" that stands strongest in his mind is Sekai.
If he really wanted to indulge in them, he wouldn't feel bad about it in the first place.
