is that ... kusanagi? who is it?

poetic justice, hm

nice if you can get it.

Doesn't mean shit in the real world though.

well yeah. that's why it's called POETIC justice. mostly because you read it in literature as a means to make the reader feel good.

for me it's more akin to science fiction than reality.

now, who is that in the first drawing?!

it's too fatalistic for me. just take justice into your own hands. remmington 870 works fairly well.

it's a performative. you are not capable of asking a question like that.

>>564787
like "literary device" ?

>>564787
well, you still can like or dislike the concept of poetic justice, can't you.

>>564794

sure. youre just covering your ass for posting a retarded comment.

I like it. Its nice for the bad guy to come to a suitable end.

meant to post in the lol meaning of life thread.

anyway, not sure what the op is asking for here. poetic justice seems to suggest that a simple dismissal of retributive justice fails to engage with the complexity of how the mechanism of justice functions. we are quite capable of enjoying the misery of others and judge how deserving they are of the punishment.

it's a pretty interesting subject in ethics/philosophy of action, but i don't think that would interest anyone in particular. can't really think about this subject from any other angle, so there.

well, it can also mean that the bad guys great great grandchildrin have to suffer for something that happened ages ago.

nemesis is a bitch.
