do you want me to post some quotes from her? have you seen her sense of "humor"? god, her jokes are the most eyerolling cringe ive ever seen and the worst part is that sanderson wants you to think this character is super clever and really witty, he's trying desperately to make an independent female character thats interesting with her own flaws and talents, but he cant help but make her the most annoying prick in the book.
i think one of the worst chapters she had was one where she was trying to convert these deserters while the caravan was being attacked by raiders and she goes and puts on her disney princess magic and says something like
"i need your help, we're being attacked!"
"why are you asking us? we're wanted men"
"yes i came here WANTING MEN"
and she somehow just convinces them to join her. what a load of shit

I mean even if you don't want to count that as collapse you don't have to go far back to the French Revolution. And if for some reason you don't want to count that as collapse, there's always the fall of Rome. I'm not even that anon but I do think it is a bit naive to believe liberal democracies will last forever, especially in Europe at least.

>Implying it's an excuse rather than a disagreement of intent

Having a child as entertainment implies a wrong is committed, as if the child is some kind of toy. Disagreement on this point indicates I believe this is not the case and feelings of persecution stemming from this are self-delusion.
