I don't give a rat's ass what troubled past you have, it gives you no right to be callous towards others.

Countless immigrants, victims, people of low socioeconomic means who don't go through life trying to excuse destructive, petty, selfish behavior with their origins. They just do the right thing because they don't wish on others what they themselves have gone through.

This constant apologia for awful cynical assholes gets tiring.
Leave the real-life moral theories out of these forums, please. This is a place to discuss BG3, and not a place to grandstand your own views on the wider world.
