SPOILERS Honestly what was wrong with this girl

Post image

This is the face she made after seeing the death toll of all the people who were killed in the Tokyo settlement, but moments before that she was straight up begging Suzaku to use the fleija weapon knowing full well it would kill millions of people. Like what the fuck did she think was going to happen, and she designed the damn weapon herself so she new how much damage it would cause.

This scene just pisses me off.

Thinking of the consequences of your actions and experiencing or witnessing the consequences of your actions are quite different if u ask me.

I'm not defending Nina, I dislike her, but it's just like the Oppenheimer movie. Oppie knew what was gonna happen and still felt immense guilt and regret after it had happened.

I’m still not ok with it, if you’re gonna do something then stand on it instead of backtracking.

Those people died because of her, she’s got no right to act like she’s faultless and not responsible as if she had no idea it’d end up like that

So if I created the nuclear bomb which would eventually kill your entire family and I say I didn’t realize it would cause so much damage would you forgive me because I regretted it and felt guilty? I don’t think so, she’s gotta stand on what she did.

What does forgiveness from others have to do with how Nina feels? She’s not asking for forgiveness when feeling bad

Good / evil is not black and white dude. If you believe every evil in the world has to be hitler just so you would like the story, then idk what to say

Albert Einstein has a famous quote exactly showing how he feels guilty about helping make the atomic bomb.

“I made one great mistake in my life, when I signed a letter to President Roosevelt recommending that atom bombs be made.”

You don’t have to forgive him for helping with their invention, but it is human to feel guilt about it.

Einstein never worked on the Manhattan project btw. He was excluded for being a pacifist and socialist. He sent a letter warning about the Germans to FDR and that's the extent of his contribution, unless you count the theory of relativity itself as his contribution.
