I think it\'s still a moral issue because it\'s clearly wrong InUniverse as well as in real life, given there was no need for this massacre. Plus, for me, it\'s super uncomfortable reading explanations to explain away mass murder when these things do happen in real life. It\'d be as uncomfortable as justifying slavery, racism, rape, etc.

This wasn\\\'t an execution or revenge against a person for their own specific actions, it was indiscriminate mass murder.

If it weren\'t a moral issue, why would the writers need to try and humanize Grey Worm and offer sympathetic motives? You\'re right, this is a fictional piece, but I feel this argument is a slippery slope and can be used to justify all sorts of atrocities that happen in stories.

I think it\'s still a moral issue because it\'s clearly wrong InUniverse as well given there was no need for this massacre. Likewise, the language in the example does feel like it\'s trying to justify unfounded actions against those not responsible for those actions because of a character\'s anguish and resentment -- Grey Worm was taking his anger out against people who have nothing to do with his grief.
