It’s really ironic that I came across the confession from an anti that if respawning existed they’d absolutely brutalize and murder a person when I’m in between posting my chapters in The Secret Histories about that. Log Horizon actually has a really good arc on the subject, showing that while killing NPCs who don’t respawn is worse, killing (especially repeatedly) a PC who will is also a crime. If someone murders Captain Jack Harkness or Chas Chandler (from the TV show, not movie), does that mean it wasn’t a murder? Nope, still murder, just didn’t end with the death. If anything, it’s more akin to “non-con” which they absolutely hate: you’re giving someone trauma, fear, pain, presumably non-consensually (and if it is consensual, guess what, that’s closer to BDSM, which I’ve heard they also hate) that they’re going to be dealing with for the rest of their lives. Desmond correctly identifies this as f’d up.
