OK, do the analysis of how many stories/continuities/universes have him as a terrorist vs how many have him as an ally. If you can split the latter criteria into 'was never a terrorist', 'was a terrorist but is now a repentant ally', 'never even murdered anyone' then even better.

Include pie chart if possible.

You don't even know his comics biography and you're demanding that. 🙄

A few seconds at Wikipedia could tell you his basic motivations, which are not terrorism:

Raʼs al Ghul is an international criminal mastermind whose ultimate goal is a world in perfect environmental balance. He believes that the best way to achieve this balance is to eliminate most of humanity

He's not trying to scare anyone, just kill them and everyone they know. He doesn't care whether or not there's any terror. It doesn't even enter into the equation for him.

The fact that you don't even know that and you've been arguing with me this whole time about him being a terrorist is hilarious.

Next time, maybe learn about Batman before you argue about Batman.

He believes that the best way to achieve this balance is to eliminate most of humanity

That sounds like terrorism to me 🙄

Do you remember your own definition? In what way is that intended to cause fear?

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Terrorism, in its broadest sense, is the use of violence against non-combatants to achieve political or ideological aims.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism

I'd say murdering people to achieve 'balance' counts as terrorism. Which is what Ra's al Ghul does.

Anyway, goodbye. You're being a clown. And not a funny one either.

Ah, so you're going with a different definition than the one you initially gave me. How blatantly dishonest of you. I'm not surprised you're hiding behind silly insults.
