Few things are as dangerous and nasty as selfishness in the guise of 'for the sake of someone else'...
I think I know what you mean. The determination to work for the good of others can be a dreadful and loathsome weapon. They're blinded by self-righteousness, and have no regards for their surroundings. They don't care what happens to others. They justify themselves for pressing forward pursuing their justice, crushing everything in their way...

From Library of Ruina. The song "And Then Is Heard No More" from the OST touches on similar themes, go look up the lyrics if you're intrigued

Rules:

1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.
