Talk:Lady Boyle/@comment-5607198-20160708113206

i really hate that comment about being "wrongheaded" about how lady boyle is nonlethally dealt with.

Is what Corvo does reprehensible? absolutely. but ALL the nonlethal dispatches are senselessly cruel. That's the point of them. They're all a "fate worse than death".

Why does lady boyle deserve special consideration among the rest? Because she's a woman? isn't that sexist, saying that women can't be subjected to the same cruelty as men?

all three sisters use their sexuality to gain a position of power and security, and repay that security with their personal fortunes. Their motivations for doing so are different, to be sure, but any of them does the same thing.

so putting them in a situation where they no longer have control over their sexuality, and their wealth counts for nothing, is the perfect cruel reversal of their fate.

Basically, it just bugs me that they can't just stick to their guns and say "yeah, what corvo does is fucked up"
