As for me... hm. It would depend on how they wronged me and mine, I suppose. Under most circumstances, I find that thwarting their beliefs about the world is plenty.
But the ones who really deserve it... well, the Fisalias are known for our varieties of toxic plants. Something like a mild hallucinogenic is hardly that terrible, no?
They truly are. Distilled down to their basest selves, several otherwise dangerous plants become wonderfully tasteful medicines.
What makes them deserve it? A... very simple question with a much more complicated answer. If you want to know where my moral compass leans, then the answer comes down to... they will have spurned something that I intend to protect. Treated others with undue cruelty; believed themselves to be above all others and forsake respect for greed; lost their minds in the whispers of chaos. The crime, and the subsequent elixir, are both quite nuanced, and a Fisalia is unafraid to bear the mask of a monster for the greater good.
Sounds like we agree on most of that. I hate doing harm, honestly, but...sometimes letting people or corporations keep going is doing more harm than stopping them. I'd rather be a monster if more people are safe.
Sometimes harm is the only way to enforce change, yes. It is a human thing, deciding where your values are best spent, even if you would much rather spit the poison by the wayside than swallow it... so to speak.
That said, I don't think there is anything monstrous about protecting those who deserve protection, even at the harm of others. How another views you is their own decision. For example, I am known as Cantarella, the Bane. But whose bane am I? Each person must decide that for themselves.
