Sorry, yes, they are compatible! I didn't mean to suggest that there's only one theme at work for something like Build. (There's a lot!) I was just trying to point out the ways the, I don't know, non-Evol stuff highlights the theme of The Value Of Empathy. The main villain stuff, yeah, there's a lot of emphasis on, like, A Tool Is Only As Evil As The Person Wielding It, which is definitely a part of Fighting Darkness With Darkness.

You're right, though! I didn't mean to imply you weren't.
