YMMV / Hunter: The Vigil – Dark and Light

• Evil Is Cool: The Magisters of Economy are agreed among all those who read the supplement to be evil, repulsive people... which is one of the main reasons they are very popular.
• Moral Event Horizon:
  • It's generally agreed by everyone (both in-universe and out of universe) the Magisters crossed it when they started their practice of kidnapping Princesses and using the Rite of Somnus to deliver their souls back to the Wardens, then using the resulting comatose bodies as living batteries to get superpowers. When the Ashwood Abbey is calling you despicable, you know you've crossed it.
    • The fact that the Cheiron Group actually approves of the Magisters' harvesting and wants to see if they can be replicated on other beings is a direct indication of just how awful they are.
  • The People's Guard cross it by virtue of being willing to torture and kill children simply because they are nobles, not caring whether the nobles they go after are one of the "good" ones or the "bad" ones, and even allowing Darkspawn nests to continue to exist, and potentially put others in danger, just to use them as bait for Princesses. Other Hunter groups, even the ones that specifically do not like Princesses like Task Force: Valkyrie, find them unnerving, because, for all of their paranoia, other hunters will at least hesitate or avoid killing a princess because she's likely to be a child, and most other hunter groups will destroy darkspawn nests whenever or wherever they find them.
• Narm Charm: Just like its source game, the book's entire premise of exploring the clash and interactions between gritty, Anti-Heroic, pragmatic Monster Hunters and idealistic, optimistic, Super-Heroic Magical Girls should, on paper, be silly. However, the book acknowledges this silliness and actually makes it part of the lore, mentioning how Hunters frequently assume Princesses are jokes because of out of place they feel, only to be painfully proven wrong.
• No Yay: The Ashwood Abbey's fetishism of Princesses. Aside from the fact they are themselves infamous for their tendencies to debauchery, torture and rape, their fascination for Stormites comes from admiring their violence, and several Princesses are underage. All these make things like mentions of them wishing to snort cocaine on a Princess of Mirror's body all kinds of creepy.
