It's just a brief flavor text and not necessarily meant to fit every combinations of traits. What's important for the traits is what they provide. I think that the expectations that I see here and on the discord of Grim are a little extreme sometimes as everyone expects perfection and not only is that not possible, but trying to make it so can ruin the game as it can't be all things to all people.
I appreciate what your saying, but it feels like we are drifting far from my actual stance?
I am not demanding perfection from the devs or anything, I am just sympathetic to the idea that, with the flavour and mechanics as they are, it doesn't make too much sense to generate a character as both pacifist and brawler, I even conceded that with a bit of flavouring or headcanon-ing that Clemency's explanation would be a good way of explaining and reconciling it.
Acknowledging it as a bit of a weird combo is not me demanding the devs 'fix' it, or even that it is any kind of priority or really a massive problem beyond the level of "Does having both these traits on one character make sense level" which is always a struggle for randomly generated characters no matter what.
Which is to say, I agree in principle with what you are saying, but bringing it up in the context of that convo feels like a bit of an overreaction?
