Quote:Ayup. But "not having any choice about" something doesn't make someone likable--or right.
Yes, it gets really messy after a while, but then the world of The Authority is messed up beyond words and they usually and up not having any choice but to be completely ruthless to prevent something even worse from happening.
To veer back towards the subcategory topic, do you think Gendo Ikari wouldn't say that he had no choice but to do the awful things he did in order to protect humanity/humanity's evolution? The fact that he happened to enjoy some of it was just compensation. Heck, I'll bet Keele and his cronies would claim they had no (better) choice but to do what they did too.
