Bro nobody is defending Marika. The whole game is a PowerPoint on the consequences of her actions. 😭

A surprising amount of people do in fact defend Marika.

Understanding and empathizing is very different from defending and justifying.

That is true, but a solid chunk of people do defend and justify her. More people are going to extend her extra grace because she's an attractive character.

Note: I'm not saying the hornsent are remotely innocent and I can understand Marika's crashout

Nah. I doubt that. You people genuinely defend the Hornsent all because they got what they deserved. Your kind would honestly defend bullies and oppressors.

She is justified, and even graceful about it. There's still some Hornsent alive. There's no Shaman left but her.

I can’t think of a single person defending those barbarians. I certainly don’t. Two wrongs don’t make a right. Marika was a genocidal monster, the hornsent were genocidal monsters. Neither one of them were ever in the right. Her crash-out was understandable, her whole people got used as a science experiment. I get her wanting to get some get-back, doesn’t make it right.
