It's certainly become an anon party in here, that's for sure.
The canon evidence that he is hallucinating is that he's... uh... hallucinating. I wish I had a clip of that scene for you, anon. But people are exploding. In front of him. Without actually doing so in reality. I'm not really sure what else would qualify as a hallucination.
The headcanon with Ali is not a terribly unreasonable assumption to make. Sexual abuse is not unheard of in child soldier scenarios. Historically, child soldiers have even been used as sex slaves. I do not have a specific source to give to you on this, but I am currently taking a graduate level course on terrorism and insurgency, and it was a topic covered during one of our lectures.
Killing is legally a crime, anon, and one many people find disturbing, regardless of the circumstances. It is an argument entailing morality, sure, but taking a life is a terrible thing no matter how you slice it. It is never a happy event.
Given how hard that peace, love, and understanding themes were shoved into the finale, and that those things are generally seen as heroic, it is difficult to argue that the "heroic" angle is not what the writers were going for. Thus an audience that was paying attention would reasonably equate it as being heroic, though if you further inspect what actually happened, this doesn't stand up to criticism particularly well.
I do not have an HMD as I am well-aware that the way I play Setsuna is controversial. Nothing that is being pointed out to me is anything new or anything I have considered before. Therefore, it feels fairly redundant. As for appreciation of insight and willingness to listen... I am still here, anon, and still responding to other anons. That should say more than enough on that matter.
I'm going to bed soon, but I'll get to other posts later. When I have the time and the stamina, probably.
