The selection of quotes on Moash’s wiki page really do a hilariously good job of summing him up succinctly

POV your best friend and love of your life approaches you with a plot to assassinate the king since he has indirectly killed a bunch of his subjects through sheer incompetence alone (even though he's really trying. he just sucks. it's just in his nature or something.) - NOTE: it is technically your job to protect the king from any assassination attempts

“Moash is just as redeemable as Dalinar”

Yes. He is. Of course he is.

But so far the whole point of his character is that he refuses to hold himself accountable for his actions. Like that’s the WHOLE POINT. Moash and Dalinar are opposites for a reason! Dalinar refused to give his pain to Odium, Moash was eager to.

Can Moash be redeemed? Sure. But I don’t think he will be. In order to do that he’d have to do what Dalinar did and really feel the extent of the suffering he’s caused and the harm he’s done.

And that just doesn’t seem like a very Moash thing to do. He has always blamed everything and everyone else for his problems. In some cases (his family being killed) that was justified but in most it was just him ducking responsibility.

My prediction- I think Kaladin and the others will offer him redemption in WAT and I think Moash will refuse it once and for all. And then I think he and Kaladin will fight to the death tbh.

Kaladin and Moash have the kind of toxic codependent homoerotic friendship you usually only see in tween girls

The stormlight archive is actually just a vessel for the game “how much fucked shit can Moash do before I stop liking him”. Hasn’t happened yet. Anyway, in his last scene he murdered several civilians

You know I saw a post recently that said something along the lines of "You can't hold anything Moash did after he became Vyre against him, because he's under the influence of Odium and he's too mentally ill to see that he's wrong."

And I just??? What???

You did read Oathbringer, right? Being under the influence of Odium does not mean that Moash isn't in control of his actions... that's like the whole point of Dalinar's arc. Odium doesn't make the choice for "Vyre;" he is still in control of his actions.

Say what you will about whether or not Moash is in the right when it comes to the Alethi nobility or what have you; I'm not here to debate that. But the argument that Moash/Vyre is not responsible for his actions is demonstrably false.

#for further clarification this is NOT targeted at all Moash fans #not by a long shot #I have very little to say on the actual debate itself #I just do not vibe with the whole. yknow. #Moash is not responsbile thing #honestly I wish I could find the post that I saw making this argument #and reply to it #but alas idek when i saw it #it's been a minute #cosmere spoilers #moash #moash stormlight #rythm of war #the stormlight archive #taiga says things

[taravangians-storming-balls]

a moash trait I don't really hear people talk about is how much the guy will just. ask questions.

he's confused on why kaladin picked him to be a subsquad leader when he had been most vocally resistant to kaladin? he stops and asks him immediately. rock's story doesn't make sense to him? he interrupts to ask about it. fused are acting weird? he just walks up and asks to see a supervisor. dude will always stop to ask questions if something is confusing to him

#maybe this is just a consequence of not having many lines in text and just being a supporting character for the first half of the series #but I like this about him #when he asks about sah's group he even thinks that 'he doesnt expect an answer' and yet he asks anyways #when kaladin asks moash why he obeys him if moash doesnt trust him moash says 'guess im curious' and yeah #you sure are buddy #stormlight archive #moash #oathbringer spoilers #my-storming-posts #moash stormlight

relationship status: the last time me and my qpr partner saw each other we were willing to kill due to our opposing political views but then he fled and we haven't seen each other since then so it's kinda complicated

I'm seeing Moash discourse and because I hate peace I'm going to chime in with my own two cents since I think everyone is wrong.

On one side you've got the Moash defenders who want to genuinely advocate for him or say he's misunderstood or shouldn't be held accountable for his actions because he's under the control of Odium or was a slave or a victim or whathaveyou, which I think is pretty short sighted and ignorant because regardless Moash still made the choices he did of his own volition and he did decide to be put under Odium's emotional control in the first place. I do think Moash is a sympathetic and complex figure because of his background and the way he's been made a victim, but it's wrong to erase his culpability or try to say he's right when he just absolutely is not.

On the other side you've got Moash haters who are also just wrong. Because even if Moash is a bad person, he's not actually a person, but a character written by a human being with political and moral views. And regardless of your opinion on Moash as a moral figure, its inarguable that he is written as a lower class person who is driven by hate and revenge to become a monster and he's villainized beyond the point of other characters who are more privileged than him but committed just as if not even more horrific actions. Moash is "problematic" if you will, because he's a caricature that paints all forms of revolutions of violent rebellion as especially evil and dangerous. He is an example of the kind of media that portrays the leftist revolutionaries who have a point as the villains because they kill people. His writing results from those same neoliberal politics.

And on the topic of redemption, I don't think Brandon is against Moash being redeemed or thinks he's "worse" than other characters like a lot of people have tried to claim based on those WOB about him not being interested and having farther to go than Dalinar. Brandon is simply saying that redemption is a choice and right now Moash isn't interested in that choice, so that journey is going to be a lot more difficult for him as things stand now.

I do think there are problems with the way Moash is written but I think people are identifying those problems and then trying to defend Moash in the wrong ways. Whether he was justified in his actions is completely irrelevant to the issue of how he was written to commit those actions in the first place. And that's where the problem actually lies. Moash's writing is problematic because it paints the victims of oppressive systems as "just as bad" as the oppressors and villainizes genuine revolution because it's "too dangerous."

As for my personal feelings toward Moash the character, I don't hate him like a lot of people seem to. I sympathize with him too strongly to hate him. I honestly mostly feel bad for him and find his particular character conflict incredibly compelling, especially in ROW after he's made the decision to imprison himself and is attempting to imprison Kaladin. I do find the hatred towards Moash from the fandom a bit concerning, especially when Stormlight is full of characters who have committed similar atrocities who are much more liked. People don't have the sympathy towards his circumstances that I think they should.
