The “vigilantes should not be judge jury and executioner” and “how do vigilantes know they’re guilty?” are two sides of the same story.

If vigilantes should not be judge jury and executioner, it’s because they cannot reasonably know with 100% certainty who is guilty and who isn’t, because they are human, one person, who cannot know everything with absolute certainty especially in cases which they are not witness to.

For one example of this being used effectively in canon, see Cold Days, Batman Volume 3 /2016 #51-53, by Tom King.

Because it’s this exact reasoning as to why Bruce Wayne trying to convince a jury that Mr Freeze is innocent is so important. Not just because the Jury has placed Batman on such a high pedestal as to think him incapable of human error, aka believe in him like he is a god, but because Batman is human and Bruce knows this and is willing to admit it when he fucks up.

That is so essential to understanding Bruce Wayne’s no kill code. He knows he makes mistakes, he sometimes gets too angry and makes assumptions, he knows he cannot be certain someone is guilty all the time, or that he is always correct, so he doesn’t play the role of Executioner because he would never risk killing an innocent.

It’s also why it’s extremely frustrating when he acts like he knows exactly how something is going to turn out and then the story proceeds to act like he was right all along. Batman being wrong about someone on occasion is important for his character, not just because it can give him hope in certain situations but because it humbles him and reminds him why he clings to the No Kill code.

(I have another post in the works that goes into detail about why Batman Cold Days is actually a terrible story even though I like it’s base premise, but I thought it best not to add it here and clutter the place up.)

the state of education in the USA: I'm trying to convince the school to care that an extremely religious right-wing teacher in my program thinks it's acceptable to say "I have a gun" and "I think I should be allowed to shoot criminals on sight" in the same breaths.

#gun violence #gun control #i dont even know what to do #the point here is he thinks he should be the judge jury and executioner #and all you freaks getting in my mentions agreeing with him are basically domestic terrorists #youre gonna side with a private corporation ober a person?#deep throat the boot further please

thinking recently about how Taylor cannot stand inaction. Like, she very often does crazy or violent or just bizarre shit because the other option is doing Nothing.

A lot of the time it means she does really heroic shit like fight Lung on her first night out or go 1v1 on Leviathan- there were other options there! A lot more sane ones, for sure. Even if something isn't remotely her problem to deal with she finds a way to make it her problem.

But I also feel like she makes a lot of her ethically dubious decisions or impulse actions just because she cannot stand the alternative.

This is a girl who cannot sit quietly with herself! She is always doing something- even if she's still physically she's doing weird dissociation tricks with her bugs instead. She cannot be a bystander and she cannot be herself- neither the girl in the locker or the ones around it- the ones in the hallway who walked past, discomforted and willing to bury the memory once the day is done.

#this may not make perfect sense im sleepytired #just thinking about Her again #everything has to be a problem she can solve #and therefor everything has to be her problem #and yeah she's making trouble for herself and deciding that she gets to be the judge jury and executioner of every Situation #but what else is she supposed to do #sit there and take it #no. killing god about it is more reasonable surely!#worm #parahumans #skitter #taylor hebert

I loved the hbomb plagarism and roblox oof videos but I do think putting him on a pedestal and praising him for being the guy that destroys the careers of shitty ppl is a weird reaction to have to a video where a good chunk of the message is "any youtuber you watch ever needs to not be simply trusted by default and you should be fact checking constantly, because blind trust gives them a lot of power over the narrative of whatever they're explaining"

#like idk hbomb doesn't need to be the judge jury and executioner #and i don't think that's what he wanted or intended exactly with this video #i mean fallout is inevitable when you're calling out this sort of duplicitous lying behavior but like #the main point is not to make these specific handful of dudes lives miserable #and idk. i just hope ppl are also not blindly trusting hbomb to just give them new acceptable targets of harassment

The pink girl is Alma, 80's friend who's also a planetary investigator who decides whether humans get to live . I think it'd be really bad if these three meet 😬

#ultraman #ultraman justice #zoffy #shin zoffy #shin ultraman #alma #ultraman 80 #these are characters from different universes #but i feel kinda intrigued and horrified that in each universe there's someone who become judge jury executioner whether humans get to live #is this canon event for all universe 😭#anyway #I'm glad they all changed their minds after a little bit of convincing (and fighting) from their friends:#1. Cosmos - the kindest ultraman 2. Lipia - the ultraman who's fond of humans 3. 80 - the ultraman who teaches love and courage #chips's work

Guys, my mind perked up like a rabbit. Judge, jury, and executioner... Is it used correctly in Batgirl 2008 #3? Yes.

...do I think Nightwing’s argument here is weak? Maybe. It works in context, but not so much as a meta commentary on the whole DC universe.

#Judge Jury and Executioner #yes i have a tag for this #canon #my post #dc meta #ish

Still turning over in my head what it means that, out of all the true souls you encounter throughout the game, you are uniquely able to save Minthara and Minsc. Not really in a gameplay sense (e.g. Larian went to the trouble of making these characters and they wanted people to get to experience that) but in a more meta-story sense. This is less interesting to me in the context of Minsc, who has preexisting ties to the party via Jaheira, than in Minthara's case.

The thing about true souls is that they have no idea what's happened to them, right? They believe themselves to have been blessed by a goddess, which is not an out-of-line experience to have in Faerun. In the case of the goblin camp leaders *specifically* you can even tell priestess Gut that the voice of her goddess is a mind flayer tadpole like you have, which she explicitly rejects - angrily, too. Whether or not you see the cultists' motivations as innocent to any degree, they are at least *genuine*: they hear a voice they perceive as rooted in divinity. They had no say in this happening to them, and are kept deliberately ignorant of the agenda that they're being used to further.

And the party just cuts them down. You are, in fact, framed as being in the right to do this. Sure, the cultists are murdering or converting everyone they can get their hands on, but... what are you, the PC, doing? Because it is not trying to save these people who have been indoctrinated. You can show a guard at Moonrise the truth of what has happened to him, which breaks his mind immediately. But you can't save him. The narrative you're confined in doesn't encourage you to try; it rewards you for his death.

I think Minthara's role in the party, examined in this light, is really interesting. Saving her in a good playthrough becomes less a shoehorned-in act of fan service and something closer to a meta-commentary on the morality of your journey. She's not a good person, inarguably, but does that matter? Is what has been done to her without her consent or her knowledge a good enough reason to condemn her? Why choose to save this one, player? Did you ever stop to consider that they might all have been worth more of an effort than you made? Answer while looking her in the eye, please.

#minthara #bg3 #minthara hours once again #along this line of thought reading the little backstories for the hirelings is really enlightening #these people are dead because of what the absolute did to them and they are furious about it #and sure. you have to fight the absolute. but does that entitle you to act as judge jury and executioner #do you have any less blood on your hands than they do?#i love thinking about video game morality it is fascinating to me

AU where the 3 eldest boys are still brothers, but doesn't live with Bruce.

Fast forward couple of years:

Jason doesn't work alone. And even though they each have a nickname, they also known as " judge, jury and executioner"

Jason (AKA Red Hood) is the executioner, bc the pit demand life for life.

Tim is the judge, bc he is the one with the brain cell. He give the facts-laws and what happened.

Dick is the jury, bc he is the voice of reason but also heart. He can take Tim's logic, Jason's rage, and his own love for his family to get the final sentence.

IDK, I just find it interesting.

(like my writing? Find more on AO3. Comments are always appreciated ☺️)
