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?

Oh so I'm the asshole actually for doing the trolley problem wrong and choosing my brother over some sci-fi shit ran on stolen electricity.

[likeageomi]

You are the asshole, yes.

[gumboots]

Guessing you're either an only child or you don't like your siblings. Explains a lot.

[likeageomi]

[ Watch her slam her hand on something. ]

You had the privilege of a family out in the open, you toad. What you fail to understand, time and time again, is that the Geomijul's work for Ogikubo provided that opportunity to others.

[ The only reason she doesn't beat the shit out of you right now is Ichiban. ]

You. Are the asshole.

[gumboots]

[The only thing keeping him from cowering like a bitch is that-- well, everything's sorted for Ichiban, Shoichi's safe, so pull the trigger Piglet.] You know that your guys made it hard for other people struggling too, right? Pilfering electricity from small businesses already getting hoisted for protection money by the Liumang? Pretty sure that's how I got Ichiban all tangled up in your shit in the first place; because he also thought you were an asshole.

We're both assholes who hurt people, I guess. Everyone loses in Ijincho.

Oh boo hoo. Some stolen electricity from the businesses they can get legal permits to run. They'd be crying just as hard if the Geomijul hadn't been keeping the Seiryu and Liumang from each other's throats. Think they would have enjoyed the turf wars and shootings more?

[ Boo-fucking-hoo. ]

Luckily, it's my job to be an asshole. I do it so that other can have an easier day. You did it over one brother who wasn't even in danger.

Oh, that's right. Maybe that makes me not such an asshole. I could have killed him.

[gumboots]

You seemed pretty torn up about being an asshole five minutes ago. Make up your mind.

[likeageomi]

Why don't you come over here and make me.

[gumboots]

What are you going to do, kill me? Tase me again? That gonna make you less of an asshole?

[likeageomi]

Break your nose, at worst. Lucky for you, the boys think you're cute and don't want you dead.
