Sorry, but it doesn't matter if you're a woman or even a child. I don't go easy on anybody who hurts my comrades.

I don’t care if you’re kids, I show mercy to no one. The truth is I can kill you in the blink of an eye.

Priestess: Children?
Goblin Slayer: They multiply fast. If we had waited any longer, there would have been fifty of them, and they would have attacked. You were lucky.
(Goblin Slayer steps into the den of baby goblins)
Priestess: Are you going to kill them?
Goblin Slayer: Of course I am. They hold on to grudges for life. And the survivors of the nest learn from their mistakes and adapt. There isn't a single reason to let them live.
Priestess: Even if there was a good goblin?
Goblin Slayer: A good goblin? I guess there might be one if you looked really hard. But in the end, the only good goblins are the ones who never come out of their holes.
(commence slaughter)

Speaking of hell, here’s what all the demons down there will look like. The amount of work Mr. Wilson put into this is absolutely terrifying, and that’s assuming he’s gone to the trouble of creating a perfect Dennis wig and isn’t wearing the poor lad’s scalp as a hat.

"When things came worse in our ghetto we said always: 'Thank God the kids are with Persis, safe.' That spring, on one day, the Germans took from Srodula to Auschwitz over 1,000 people. Most they took were kids— some only 2 or 3 years. Some kids were screaming and screaming. They couldn't stop. So the Germans swinged them by the legs against a wall... and they never anymore screamed. In this way the Germans treated the little ones what still had survived a little. This I didn't see with my own eyes, but somebody the next day told me. And I said, 'Thank God with Persis our children are safe!'"
— Vladek Spiegelman, Maus

Goku: You're a heartless monster who slaughters everyone in his way - even children!
Freeza: Oh, please. Everyone's always on about "the children." I already tried leaving them alive, but all they ever do is grow up under my rule or dedicate their pathetic lives to revenge. (side-glance at Vegeta) Usually both. Really, killing them is a kindness. I can retract that kindness if you wish, but then who's the villain?
Goku: (totally lost) Y-you.
Freeza: No, that was a rhetorical question.
Goku: And I gave you a rhetorical answer!
Freeza: Good lord, I traded Vegeta for this!

Children... Ah! Killing them is actually a great favor to mankind and for each person on the face of this planet, especially when those damn "cute little fucking faces" give false hopes to the humanity. I love to kill them, they are more attractive dead. I'm not the "villain" here, I'm just ridding the world of these pests.

Bronn: Without question? No. [Rubs thumb and forefinger together] I'd ask, "How much?"
Threaten a child and you will unite its parents against you. Kill a child and those who have lost it will retreat in mourning. Those around them will feel their pain and likewise look to their own families. They will keep their children close and out of schools. [...] This makes the Rebellion look unforgivably weak.
— Flirry Vorru, X-Wing: The Krytos Trap
On every formal visit, a child ought to be of the party, by way of provision for discourse, or in extreme cases, if someone needs to be thrown overboard to satisfy the piranhas trailing the boat.
"I hope your children die! Slowly!"
"Hmm," he said, "I'm not sure I qualify, but if I do it'd be a long spit." He collapsed back on the bed, then looked aghast, and levered himself back up again. "Shit; they really must get to you people young; that's a terrible thing for anybody to say, let alone a woman."
"Our women are more manly than your men," the woman sneered.
"And still you breed. Choice must be limited, I suppose."
"May your children suffer and die horribly!" the woman shrieked.
"Well, if that's really the way you feel," he sighed, lying back again, "then there's nothing worse I can wish on you than to be exactly the fuckhead you so obviously are."
But as I grow ever closer to my own personal twilight, the thing I remember most vividly is watching note as a pair of barefoot coolies pulled the denuded skeleton of Brian Thompson-Greenaway from a culvert full of malaria-laden water. I knew it was him, because even after Wao Ruyen’s court had consumed the rest of his pathetic little body, they had left his face nearly untouched — there not being quite enough flesh on a child’s skull, apparently, to be worth the extra effort of filleting... let alone of cooking.
And I remember, with almost comparable vividness, when — just a year ago — I saw the former warlord Wao, Huang’s most respected father, sitting in a Limehouse nightclub with his Number One and Number Two wife at either elbow. Looking half the age he did when I first met him, in that endless last July of 1945, before black science altered our world forever. Before Ellis sold him Brian instead of me, and then fled for the Manchurian border, leaving me to fend for myself in the wake of her departure.

New achievement! You Monster!

Okay, okay. Unless you're a complete psychopath, we know you probably didn't wake up this morning and tell yourself, "Today is the day I'm going to slaughter a child." Well let us put your mind at ease. All children mobs who die within this dungeon don't actually perish. They're transferred to a holding area where they're safe and treated nicely and gently until they can be reunited with their loving parents at the end of the season.
Feel better? Good.
Reward: These past twenty seconds, when your conscience started to ease? That was your reward. It was also a lie. That baby is dead, and it's dead because of you. You're totally going to hell.

The Huntress: A hunter must hunt.
David: But she was a little girl. A girl with the body of an animal, but still a girl. I heard her speak. She was frightened. And then you killed her.

"Feeding off children is a particularly vile way to survive, but needs must as the devil drives.

You two wait here! I've got some children I need to make into corpses!
When I get my hands on you kids, I'm gonna DISASSEMBLE YOUR MOLECULES!
Alright, Ford, times up! I've got the kids! I think I'm going to kill one of them now just for the heck of it!

(cut to Milhouse lying in a hospital bed with a broken leg and his parents by his bedside)
Milhouse: (to his parents) I hope they win or Mr. Burns said he's coming back.

Tom: Actually, yes. It's been my dream since I was a boy. [Long Beat as the kids stare at him.] I was a strange child. Whee! [tosses them over]
