While your philosophy has merits on its own, the example you chose was...poor. A tyrant by definition is a cruel and oppressive ruler (or a species of flytrap) and that means the the peasants he ruled were subjected to a hell on earth through his tantrum,as you put it, and daddys abuse is by no means a justification for his selfish desire to make himself feel safe, especially since his actions resulted in the deaths of thousands.
However, on what this thread is supposed to be about, glad to hear the animations are coming along nicely.
edit: Fixed, thanks Baz
