It’s weird how a person will believe they have all license to choose to be terrible version of themselves and think everyone else is just holding back. Rapists think this of all humanity. That underneath it all everyone would just be raping each other if they could get away with it. It never occurs to them these thoughts might not even occur to a person or that if it does it doesn’t really appeal. Or that people have other things they find fulfilling that just doesn’t involve hurting other people and just aren’t fixated on shit like this.

Maybe talk to a professional about NPD.

My only hope is that the first time I stepped over the line when using my powers, I’d feel so bad about it afterwards that it would prevent me from doing it again… mostly.

Nah... well maybe... a little 😁.

The reoccurring themes is that with great power comes great immorality.

I mean, this is a thing irrespective of superpowers. Just check out the latest headline about billionaires or how your country's government is doing.

With great power comes great responsibilities, but also makes it very easy to skirt accountability, regardless if you are "super" or not.

I think many people act decently until the stakes are high. The higher the stakes, the less people you will find sticking to moral principles.

Depends on the person. You can see a clear discrepancy in what a person does without super powers. Some work toward a better planet, others toward a more secure life for the self. Adding super powers would just amplify existing MOs.

I might do some questionable things, but come on, I'm not gonna do that.

Yeah. I'd definitely steal a lot of money.

I'd just help people about to fall or get hit and not yell after my dog to come back anymore. Also do some woodwork while kids are sleeping unbreathing and Americans are patiently frozen waiting to get burgers.
