I was reading a comic in which the hero must choose between destroy or not an alien's planet

-His friend tells him to do it, since they destroyed half of their world and killed billions of people
-His girlfriend tells him to not do it, since on that planet there are, in addition to soldiers, people who live normal lives and didn't take part in the killing, still considering them as underdeveloped civilization

So, who do you think is right?

If this is about morality, why the actual fuck would you do the former?

If this is a question of ethics, using any credible normative ethical theory, the answer is clear.

If I were in the same situation, i'd choose to destroy the planet.




In any case, is this mass effect?

I'd choose to destroy the planet... They did the same, why not hit them back harder.

On one hand he kills a whole bunch of people, and it has cool explosions and shit. BUT on the other hand he gets pussy, so what's the moral choice you ask? I think it's pretty obvious.

Kill them, they'd probably kill us if they could, but we have the choice to do it, right?
