Isn't it time to stop calling Anders a terrorist for standing up for what he thinks is right? To stand up for the rights of all mages? Psychopaths only think about themselves, and will only do things to others if their a profit to be made, or to benefit themselves. If Anders was one of them he would be thinking about himself, and not others. He helps others, not himself.
And besides.... Anders is a cat lover... enough said.
No. He's a terrorist. He's no different than any other terrorist "standing up for their beliefs", consequences be damned.
Hypothetically speaking lets just say that I pretend to agree with your analytical point of view of Anders being a terrorist. Someone don't become a terrorist without being indocrinated by someone or a group. People aren't born as terrorist, they were trained to become one over the years of lies, and even abuse.
You keep telling someone that you're nothing but a curse and eventually they will start believing in it. Look at the situation with Keili from the Circle tower. She fully believes that
she is a curse, and that
she fears herself. If you mention about the Rite of tranquality Shes mentions that shes going to convince her mentors to allow her to undergo the Rite to get rid of this "curse". After the Broken Circle quest she is determined, without having a free train of thought of her own, that all mages should be 'cleansed' by the templars including herself. This is something that was drilled into this womans mind. To believe that the templars are the savers and the mages are foul and needs "cleaning" by the templars.
What is the defintion of a terrorist?
a person who terrorizes or frightens others. Now tell me that the Chantry isn't guilty of being a terroristic organzation who uses religion to disguise their true nature, and to use it to control peoples minds.
The true terrorists is the Chantry and the templars who do the Chantrys bidding.
