We said the same thing after Jura Tempest was attacked. Even I said it. And then Rimuri killed 20 thousand people...

Will he forgive Milim? Probably. But you don't get to say "moral superiority in this anime" anymore after what they JUST did.
I will repeat it as many times as the anime does. And stop bs-ing. Rimuru totally sees himself as the good guy in this story. Again, if he felt sorry for the 20k soldiers he murdered, he failed to show it properly. Not that "feeling sorry" would hold any value when he could have just not done it.

Now Milim devastes entire landscapes (and realistically killed many living beings) just for shits and giggles because she enjoys fighting. Of course, as Ryll mentions, it's already being set up that she's just being manipulated, too. Again: Super convenient aka bad writing: Have a "friendly" character commit evil and excuse it later on with "but she didnt choose to!!1". I urge any of you defending such writing if it would have mady any good story from another anime ever better if that was done to villain. If BERSERK ends up with "but Griffith was manipulated by the God Hand!!1" I will vomit, I swear. It's just shit writing. Similar to "everything was just a dream".

I want authors to accept the consequences of their writing, not have their cake and eat it, too. You want a character to destroy and kill? Then stand by that and don't backpaddle later on. Guys, I'm not randomly shitting on this anime, I want a better story and I think we all would benefit from that.
