There's this iconic scene in the scarface movie that I always found kind of funny
The scene where he goes on and on about how ok it is to kill this guy, but women and children are off limits for some reason
It really portrays the inherent misandry of society that this "code" is a norm amongst all people, and when expressed in media people go on about how good of a person the killer is because he "has a code", and men are expected to just praise his actions too lol, its ridiculous
Its a "code" you often see expressed in movies by the "dark hero" who "deep down" is always a good person, he's a "man's man" JFL
It isn't a code, its nothing but emotional and arbitrarily based hypocrisy
The logic of the code doesn't even make sense, the go to argument of why you can't kill women and children, is because its unfair and not "manly" because they are weaker than you
THE GUY YOU ARE FUCKING KILLING IS WEAKER THAN YOU, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE KILLING HIM VIA MELEE
It literally makes no sense at all, if you can't kill someone because they are weaker than you, then you can't kill anyone, because you can only kill someone that you gain advantage over (be it temporarily or not), having a gun pointed at someone when they are unarmed or doesn't have their gun ready to shoot you, makes them at that moment inferior to you and weaker than you, so if you can't kill someone who is weaker, then you literally can't kill anyone, because one can only end the life of someone that they have rendered inferior to them, be it via tactics, weaponry or physical strength/capability, to kill someone means to gain advantage over them
LET ME SHOW YOU HOW EASILY THIS "CODE" FALLS APART WITH A SIMPLE HYPOTHETICAL
Lets say you are a hitman, the best there has ever been, world renowned, you've killed thousands of men
You are the only person I would hire, I've given you no distinct time limit for killing my target, other than what is stated below (before they are of a certain age)
I have a target, someone that I need killed before they can reach the age where they collect an inheritance, if they die I get it instead (you've done may jobs like this before, but this one is quite different, the target is younger than usual, a lot younger)
This is the target (at his current age):
This is also the target (at 1 year before he's eligible to claim the inheritance):
THERE IS NO OBJECTIVE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOU KILLING THAT INDIVIDUAL AS A BABY OR AS AN ADULT, AT THE END OF THE DAY YOU FORCEFULLY ENDED SOMEONES LIFE FOR YOUR OWN BENEFIT, YOU MURDERED THEM, IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THEY "LOOK CUTE" OR NOT, YOU ARE ENDING A LIFE, ITS NOTHING BUT HYPOCRISY TO KILL THE GUY BUT REFUSE TO KILL THE SAME GUY AS A BABY
If anything I'd say that mindset is sinister, its like someone wanting to do evil, but they want to be "guilt free", you shouldn't get to be guilt free and create mental gymnastics loopholes so you can cope with what you do, accept that you are evil
If you are going to be a killer, BE A KILLER, stop lying to yourself about what you do, and pretending like you "have a code" and you're better than "other killers" who slaughter indiscriminately, they are actually the better ones, the fair ones
INDISCRIMINATE KILLERS ARE ACTUALLY THE ONES WITH A FUNCTIONING CODE
