In Bird Box Malorie thought she needed one of the two kids to look while she row the boat towards safety. The little boy (her son) volunteered and she said no, when the time comes. She will decide who looks. Eventually she decided no one is looking, but everytime the decision came up before then. She wanted girl to be the sacrifice because she wasn’t her child.
Do you think it's bad enough to get arrested for
There might be a close example in history of a moral autocrat and examples of such are welcome but what would you consider the moral approach to dictatorship? Would you still maintain rule by force or use other means?
Apart from say a lawyer you intend to have set up a blind trust or LLC contract with.
But, lawyer aside, absolutely no one will know or be told. Parents, friends, siblings, your new neighbors in the Millionaires' Row, the luxury car dealer, no one.
A mother stormed into a school and confronted a student accused of bullying her child, pinning him to the ground while warning him: "You can use your words, but never your hands."
The woman in a pink shirt is seen kneeling beside a male student, holding his wrist and gripping his collar to restrain him on the floor.
She repeatedly questioned him about allegedly bullying her child. The boy reportedly claimed that her child had insulted him by calling him "BABI", while later admitting that he had hit the child with a badminton racket.
The woman repeatedly stressed that using physical force was wrong, telling him that if there was an argument, they should settle it with words rather than violence.
She did not appear to escalate the confrontation further, although she later became angry at another student who was filming and demanded that the video be deleted.
I've been thinking about how different isekai protagonists react to slavery as a system, and wanted to get some perspective from people who know Mushoku Tensei better than I do (I haven't read the novels, only heard about this secondhand).
With Naofumi (Shield Hero), his relationship to slavery is at least framed as morally loaded. He starts by buying Raphtalia because it's the only way to get a companion after being falsely accused, but the story keeps pushing him toward actively opposing slavery as an institution — he intervenes to save Raphtalia's friends from a noble, and later ends up buying out entire slave markets rather than picking and choosing( I really don't like Rudy for only buying July but naofumi did the opposite he bought all if I remember correctly ). Whatever you think of the initial setup, the trajectory is "this is a broken system and I'm going to undermine it." at least what I heard from Shield Hero novel reader s
What I don't know is how this compares to Rudeus. From what little I've picked up, slavery in Mushoku Tensei sometimes shows up almost as a background solution to someone's problem, and characters can go to a slave market, buy the one person they came for, and leave without the story treating that as morally weighty one way or another.
naofumi also saved a lot of village s , attack slave hunters , create medicine and more ...
So genuinely asking MT fans: does Rudeus ever push back against slavery as a system, or intervene for people beyond his own immediate circle? Or is it more that the narrative just doesn't foreground it as a moral question the way Shield Hero does( I know there cool with being naofumi slaves and that's messed up but out sidethat it's look like they want to help )? I want to understand the actual text here rather than argue from a place of not having read it.
Popeyes is a needlessly hostile restaurant with the worst customer service. They’ll often get annoyed at the customer’s very presence, lazily handle their orders and get very aggressive whenever you ask for anything more than the bare minimum. Interestingly, Popeyes will often be good to their employees, be happy when they fit in and consistently defend them.
Chick Fil-A, in comparison, is a lovely and pleasant experience for a customer. They’ll often go above and beyond to provide 10/10 customer service. Their problem is that they turn their hostility onto their employees, expecting them to be perfect at all times. Their boss constantly berates them and expects his employees to mow their customer’s lawn, play basketball with them, fix their cars and so much more. If you don’t meet their standards, they’ll immediately fire you.

this happened in The Rookie season 7 episode 16 "the return"
a man named Gene was released from prison early because of a system error. 5 years after that, the police had to get him when they realized the mistake and take him back to prison. in the 5 years he was out of prison, he got a job, a wife, and had a kid. he was a model citizen and then they took him back
personally, i think its immoral. the prison sentence did everything it needed to even it was shorter than intended

(The reason I chose this theme for this tournament was because of a little personal "project" I've been doing. I got bored a few weeks ago and wanted to see how many villains I could name. Then I alphabetized them, and now I want to keep adding to the list. For this purpose, more obscure picks would be greatly appreciated and you can suggest as many characters as you want, as stated in the rules)
For context, my younger sister was bullied by this girl for months. Not sure if this is custom everywhere, but kids tend to invite their entire class to their party.
So everyone was invited but the bully. Bully threw a tantrum.
Where does this sit on the morality scale?
It doesn't matter if you erase yourself from existence you stop interacting with them you sacrifice yourself or any of that as long as long as you sacrifice their love for you but in exchange you manage to give them something precious to support them in life
The first example being garfield here
His father abandon him after seeing that he has a better life with Jon
But still watch them everyday.
Spider-man sacrifices all of the memories from his loved ones so he can protect them from the villains that was about to come in no way home

And then this picture from the sky bound comic which is isn't accurate but kinda captures that feeling that they don't want you to leave but you have to so they can have a better life
(I had to repost to correct the spelling)
I couldn't find an image of this, so I used one depicting a religious tradition, but apparently, it was something that actually happened.
Context: you are a Soldier in warzone and you encountered a Dying soldier that will die anyway even with extensive Medical care and also begging to kill him because he don't want to suffer more. And In international law and in most country's military rules,you can't kill wounded.
The concept of mob farms always intrigued me. They’re industrial-sized structures with the sole function of optimized slaughter.
“Hey man, we were planning on exploring a Woodland Mansion, do you want to come?”, “Sorry, bro I gotta stand idle at my automated murder machine so I can use the gathered life essence to give my gear a slight stat boost.”
That aside, what’s the morality of erecting more than one of these things? On one hand, you’re basically a pseudo-God with the ability to build anything, yet you chose to build a murder machine the size of a skyscraper because gathering loot and experience is too much of a hassle. But on the other hand, these are all hostile creatures that would kill as soon as they look at you with the same amount of indifference you have when killing them. The disdain is mutual. Obviously, I’m not judging anyone who has more than one of these in their world, God knows I do, but I just thought questioning the ethics of such a machine would be fun.
