Thanks for confirming exactly what I was pointing out.
Cyro enacts violence. The culture justifies it. The narrative frames it as normal. No internal conflict, no real accountability—just institutional grudge wrapped in a history lesson. That’s not complexity. That’s moral laundering.
You’re not portraying a flawed society being challenged. You’re portraying a broken one being affirmed.
And then you smile and ask about new characters.
That’s what makes this immoral. Not just what happens—but how easily it’s waved off as “the way things are.”
Kindness that never confronts harm isn’t kindness.
It’s cowardice in costume.
> Aside from that, when you have a world where the rules are different, it’s important to lay them out ahead of time
No, not really. Majority of readers have enough intelligence to pick up those rules on the fly as they witness them in action firsthand. “Laying rules ahead of time” is called “info-dumping”, and its a narrative tool that is rightfully criticized by both readers and writers alike.
That aside, game never explicitly tells that it try to mimick any sort of court. I’m not sure if you have noticed that or not, but societies in monster hunter universe aren’t exactly modern and progressive, and expecting a civilization that is stuck somewhere in stone age to be up to par to modern law rules is ridiculous.
spoilers?
The last update feels like it’s a canon for Ridge’s route specifically. The way he didn’t want to talk at a testimony at first, suffering from grief while blaming himself, and rejecting scrivener while being not fine feels like something that he specifically would do. Even the poetic irony of him being carved with a hunting knife *again* feels like something that would happen to only him. Having every other love interest adopting similar behavior for a while feels weird and out of character even with such circumstances.
On a side note the way most characters rejected scrivener after elder’s passing felt unnecessarily cruel. This especially goes off Josef.

Why not add themes of combating racism and transphobia as well? I’m sure they will also fit nicely into the story about intergalactic war.
