Zeus 07/26/20 2:30:30 PM #10:	WhiskeyDisk posted... By their very nature, necromancers violate the sanctity of peace in death. That's a pretty dark starting point if you're looking for "good". This. Plus necromancy generally requires some kind of dark process to violate the sanctity of death, which also makes the work inherently morally problematic if not evil. And even the necromancers without ill intent frequently harm the people they're trying to help, regardless of whatever other dark cost the people agreed to pay to bring back their loved one. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:942610692] in Not a lot ...

ParanoidObsessive 07/26/20 9:37:13 PM #23:	Lokarin posted... Just sayin', it's systemic oppression. That's like saying it's bigoted that there aren't more rapist heroes in fiction. When your gimmick is inherently horrifying and breaks the natural order of the universe in a way that violates the agency of others, you're probably not going to be portrayed as the good guy. Hell, even stuff like mind control kind of skirts the edge of acceptability (and even Professor Xavier has been painted with a darker brush in recent years because of it), and necromancy is pretty much mind control plus zombie rot. That being said, there ARE a few necromancer protagonists here and there, though most of them are still kind of shitty people. They usually show up in settings where the "good guys" are bad but the "bad guys" are even worse, or just settings where pretty much everyone is a bastard, so you just root for the most charming bastard. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:942625567] in Not a lot ...
