    Correct. It has a way of corrupting your thinking. You tend to not pay much mind to things you don't respect, or care much about the people you don't respect.
    I am happy to accept suggestions for any of the symbols. Especially Puce.

    I'm getting a sort of upraised-middle-finger vibe myself.

    It's what I was going for.
    The Finger is pretty much the most identifiable contemptuous symbol i could think of.
    I took vibes from Rage and Fear, to lantern-ize it

    If you can see that, awesome. I'm trying everything, head-tilt, squinting, head-tilt and squinting, looking at it quickly, etc. And I can't see anything except a person's lower half. With a target on their groin.

    Which, I suppose, is fitting given that this particular Corps is based on being kind of a dick.

    I just can't see how you get a middle-finger from it.

    I mean, if you wanted it to be clear, you could just rip-off the Black Lantern's' design and just make a small alteration.

    2nd Issue: Every Lantern Symbol besides White and Black includes a circle, rather than the large triangle.

    If it had four stripes going down and one going up that would probably de-lewdify it and get the message across quite well.

    Not quite. Each of the two parallel lines that make a single bands are what I mean by a stripe? So the top as it was, but the bottom with twice the number of... Legs, I guess?

    If my explanation is too unclear I will do a low-effort demonstration when I get home. And probably work on another chapter come to think of it.

    Behold the power of MS paint! This logo design actually took a surprisingly long time to produce, but I have done so for absolutely no discernible reason. Because I felt like it.

    Now you just need to fill it up with various shades of... Puce, I think it was? That would be awesome. I would offer to do so, but I have zero artistic tendencies.

    ...just found this fic. Guy finds a power ring, goes on a rampage on Joker and then... folds like a deck of cards in the breeze while surrendering every advantage he has, because of reasons.

    Stellar characterization there, not railroaded at all.

    I mean, it's not like there's not a precedent. Say you have someone you really, really, really hate, and the power to do something about him. And you kill him. But, as satisfying as it was, what you did was still illegal. There are much bigger fish about to come down on your head, fish that you don't actually want to fight. So you surrender. Your good deed is done, and people who would have died in the future won't. Best cooperate with the heroes because you know you won't win in a fight, and, not to mention, you didn't want to fight them anyway.
