And again, that's hypocritical, you cannot make the claim that your life does not affect who you are, then turn around and say that someone is a different person because they had a different life. These are literally two opposite, contradictory beliefs.

He had the choice to not pull the trigger, and chose to; he had the choice to not torture Inhumans, and chose to; he had the choice to not kill Mace, and chose to. The moment the protagonists made the claim that \"Traumatic lives do not make you a bad person, only your choices do.\" is the moment that they pretty much said that you always have a choice, regardless of your life or memories, and you, at the end of the day, are still responsible for your actions.
> So again, stop making the issue about the backstories, because it is not about the backstories. It\'s about the possibility of redemption and how one ultimately can be redeemed while the other cannot.
Except this is about backstory. Backstories are literally the center theme of this discussion. You cannot have protagonists argue that your backstory doesn\'t matter or affect your ability to choose, but then say that your friend isn\'t at fault for the choices he made because [[FakeMemories he had a different backstory]]. It doesn\'t matter if one could be redeemed or not, when you say that your choices are independent from your backstory, then it doesn\'t matter whether you had FakeMemories or whatever sort of life or even perception of life, you still are solely responsible for your actions.
