Out of Character Chat

He's not racist, he's just being derogatory. He doesn't care either way. It's not like he uses fish with the belief that he is superior or some shit, he uses it because, in his opinion, that's the quickest way to get a rise out of her.

Hard to see that though.


Especially him using the phrase "your betters" right in his seeming hate speech.


Either way, racist speech without racist belief is still pretty poor.


Thinking on it he seems as bad as the Marines from his island. What with his threatening violence on children, torture, murder. Etc.

Ah, I think I see where you are coming from now. 


I guess it's my fault for how I worded it then. "your betters" wasn't supposed to allude to race in any manner, just as a superior fighter.


And insults values are only as much as they are taken, at least that is my opinion of it. Sure, there is societies values on it, but if you don't care about that specific insult, then it has no weight against you, though I'm well aware many people disagree with a viewpoint like that.


And the difference between him and marines is that, while he threatens with it, he wouldn't go through with it, not towards a child at the very least. Syrin was never meant to be likable, or truly viewed as "redeemable" beyond a certain extent. He was made to be mean, vicious, and cruel at times. That's his character, who he's supposed to be. 
 
I'll be responding with Norman, and Jasper (I think) tomorrow. Tonight I try and recover from heavy dehydration that required multiple liters of liquid iv transfusion. 


Sorry about the delay everyone.

With the strength difference between humans and Fishman, it isn't a good idea to push their buttons, just sayin'

Not to mention reading up on everyone, he is definitely not the superior combatant he assumes cx Though presumably arrogance is part of the purposeful attempt to make him unliked.


Also, funny thought.

I never said Syrin was a smart drunk.


(That's a joke.)

Made me giggle.
 
Does Sora gotta step in?  Feel like Sora might have to step in.  Cant have his crew killing each other when they are so close to port.
 
Well, with Seth I could either make it better with some humor, or completely escalate the whole situation ... but for now I think it's best for the plot if I don't. I think I'll sit this bit out, at least until Azure and Peace have reacted.
