It is plausible that the Equalists believe that the act of element bending started the war, yes? What I don't understand is this. Say for a hypothetical scenario's sake that I have a weapon, and I use that weapon to harm someone or possibly even kill them - could have been for self-defence, or because I was ordered to or whatever - Does that mean my weapon is responsible for killing that person? Bending, like anything else in like, is a tool. There's no intention, no drives, not motives. It simply exists to either be used or ignored as an individual sees fit. It's the person behind it, that turns it into a weapon of destruction, or a shield for protection. Bending is a genetically inherited talent or ability as far as I understand, say an innocent child has just discovered this ability. Does that mean the equalists are going to want said child dead, because of random genetics?
