aita?

am i the asshole?
Life isn’t always black and white. Sometimes it’s hard to tell who’s really at fault, and no one wants to believe they’re the bad guy. Sometimes you need an outside opinion. Or several.
Tell your side of the story and crowdsource an honest answer to the age old question; Am I The Asshole?
Elijah Kamski | Detroit: Become Human
Never mind, irrelevant. Either way, you’re a bit of a shut in. A few problems years before that, lost your company because of—rather horrible people. Anyway, you’re a shut in, haven’t seen the world in ages, get all your information from the TV. There’s this Android right? Names Connor, world's first Detective Android. Quite incredible, really fascinating. Your ideas were stolen to create him. You just kinda wanna—push him, see where it goes. See what he does.
He’s investigating the deviancy case, trying to find what makes Androids do it. Stop it. He works for the evil company, CyberLife, your own company which wasn’t actually evil until you lost control of it. Again, not important probably. But he’s investigating them and of course as the creator of Androids he just has to ask you about it.”
A little bit more than halfway through the story, three shots in, a couple beers and some wine. His tongues more than loose. He waves for another drink to be brought to the table.
“So Connor, Detective Android and obviously a deviant himself. How do I know, you ask? It’s obvious, the way he interacts with the world, looks at things, talks to his partner. A snail could have seen he was a Deviant. Just not himself. You know? He comes in all ready to ask his questions, innocent face looking for the world like I’m just gonna—hand him the answers. He has the answers, he just doesn’t want to acknowledge them. Because acknowledging it means admitting he’s a Deviant too.
You see the problem here? Resident Deviant Hunter, CyberLife’s last hope, the best they had to offer. A Deviant himself. Obviously he didn’t want to admit it. So, what do I do, you ask?”
Leaning a bit more into his drink, addressing the others around him. He lowers his voice and speaks as if it’s the most obvious thing in the world.
“I prove to him he’s a Deviant. It’s quite simple, just a little test I invented when I was bored. You know you have to find out who around you is a Deviant, right? Obviously, the creator of Androids here. Can’t trust a fish. Well, anyway, I grabbed a gun yes I have a permit for it, and I handed it to Connor. Little fact here, Androids can’t refuse a direct order from certain people. I, of course, am one of those people. Being able to do so is a sign of Deviancy.
So with the gun I grabbed another Android in my house, her name is Chloe, a wonderful creation, the first one I made. I had her kneel in front of Connor, raised his hand up to point at her head and gave the order; Piece of plastic imitating a human? Or a living being... With a soul... It's up to you to answer that fascinating question, Connor. Destroy this machine and I'll tell you all I know. Or spare it, if you feel it's alive, but you'll leave here without having learnt anything from me.”
Another longer drink from his cup before it’s placed down, blinking at the table.
“He didn’t shoot her of course, I knew he wouldn’t. There was of course the very small percent chance that I was wrong, but I’m never wrong. Genius, remember? So he didn’t shoot her, but he certainly wasn’t happy about the entire thing. I even gave him a way to escape the program CyberLife put inside him to control him. But, not a single thank you for what I did give him, the answer he really needed. Machine, or Deviant?”
Leaning back in the booth he bumps his head against the seat, blinking up at the ceiling.
“Is this another morality thing? A human emotion thing? Was I really an asshole?”

And I don't just mean in practice. In actual, official matches. He'd be calling us all stupid and lazy and slow in front of our rivals and we just had to take it even though his shitty sportsmanship was killing the team. Even our coach wouldn't act right away when me and my friend went to him about it, so we...
... we just refused to play. We stood still and let the ball drop so coach would be forced to bench him. Apparently he was really fucked up by it but were we in any way the assholes? I say he didn't leave us any other choice.
O/“
Your coach did nothing to stop it until you and your teammates acted?
[That’s the most discomfiting part, really. Not that he’s any stranger to corrupt adults or anything, but there’s supposed to be some sense of honor when it comes to sportsmanship, right? And it’s up to coaches to foster that sort of thing among their student athletes, right?]

AITA for
t-boning a military tank with an ice cream truck, getting the other driver arrested, and bouncing? In my defense, he was up to some morally, scientifically, and legally reprehensible shit, and he tried to hurt my new friends.
