My, my. I suppose anonymous is truly legion after all. I was not aware I had garnered such a fanclub.
However, I am afraid your assertion that Setsuna is not a disturbing character is... canonically incorrect, given that
1. Setsuna commits several acts of murder and terrorism throughout the entire shows under the guise of "fighting for a better world"; 2. Hallucinates gruesome explosions of corpses in front of him to no affect whatsoever; 3. Joins a terrorist organization not once, but twice; 4. Imposes his will on others (while hypocritically accusing others of doing the same); 5. Kills people who could be considered allies, if they get in his way; 6. Imposes his will on the world and is seen as "heroic" for it.
And were I not somewhat exhausted from today, I could go on. As for your assertions earlier, I have considered tossing a AU label on him before. However, other than throwing him into more adult situations (i.e. sex), I disagree that his key traits have been ignored. I would appreciate some specification on this point in particular.
Canon is certainly canon, anon, but in the low pressure environments I play in, I see very little reason to enslave myself to it absolutely. Especially considering how poor the second half of Setsuna's canon was.
