Yeah, it is, but sometimes I feel like I'm living in an alternate universe with an alternate set of morals when I'm watching an action blockbuster, y'know? Like, "okay... I would totally not be okay with this happening in real life but here it's a good... thing?"
The genocide thing was partially inspired by reading about Battlestar Galactica fans whining about why, why, why it shouldn't be okay to just destroy every Cylon in existence with this computer virus thing, seeing as how the Cylons (a) destroyed most of humanity and (b) don't have civilians, or something. I get that the revenge inclination would be high in this scenario, but I admired the creators for implying genocide is not okay no matter what the other side has done. And from the fans it was basically like, "why can't I have my genocide?" It was just gross. Gross, gross, gross.
