Be a real man

Just now, I came across an article triggering anger inside my heart quite literally. The source of my ire? This. So why was I angry? Because I've suffered much at the hands of hypocrisy. Doing nothing for victims of voyeurism is a sick reminder of a pretentious standard of morality. But using evil to justify evil?

Alas for irony, your name is monster.
Alas for the monster, its name human.
Never alas for the human so long dignity remains.
Never alas for dignity lest mortals become demons.

Spoiler: Unlike shows like The First Temptation of Christ and The Last Hangover, Hellsing doesn't feature the Son of God, let alone God Himself. In fact, the world of Hellsing is all about Christianity minus Christ. In a world of 404 God not found, this means Hellsing is a series reserved only for the intelligent.

Because it's been a long time since I've done something here, you can be very sure I've gotten rusty. So why the post title?

When you see a man, what do you perceive? There are only two possibilities, whether you like it or not.

Possibility 1

Possibility 2

There are a few reasons why Emiya Kiritsugu was a real man (I say was because he died before Fate/stay night).

1. He understood suffering because he suffered in the first place.

2. He understood the price of righteousness, yet he kept moving forward because justice cannot be denied.

3. A real man bears the burden of his own sins and no one exemplifies this truth better than the man himself.

Note: The presence of Eden Ang is never about whether I see him guilty or not. Rather, I'm making fun of toxic masculinity in Singapore.

Spoiler: Emiya Kiritsugu wasn't a saint. He was effectively a one-man terrorist organisation whose evil modus operandi was only surpassed by the evils of the world. In other words, Kiritsugu's life was meant to be screwed.

Pretty sure it's a coincidence that all seven Masters were guys. Either that or we need to ask the Notorious UBG.

P.S: Feel like uploading some more Fate/Zero music vids, just that they're related to another real man.

Add P.S: To all my fellow Singaporeans who look even less of a Chinese than yours truly because you happened to be Malay, I must point out that Iskandar as a Malay name is as Persian as Darius I. Therefore, the next time someone insulted you because you're a Malay, you can remind him/her that he/she can never be a Persian or a Greek military genius.

Final P.S: It's quite scary to see Emiya Kiritsugu being every bit a tactical genius as Alexander the Great with the difference akin (?) to that between Tokugawa Ieyasu (i.e. Kiritsugu) and Oda Nobunaga (i.e. Alexander the Great).
