Being intensely generous to Daniel, I think it's valid to worry about and mourn the potential loss of innocence for an entire tribe. That's something you can potentially never get back and I think his heart's in the right place. BUT it's also incredibly fucking cucked to just abandon your home every time you're threatened with violence, and the wasteland seems like the sort of place where people are going to take advantage of this if they ever caught wind of it. Part of being a parent and a guide is protecting your children but also guiding them through difficult shit. It's going to suck when your kid learns about lying, violence, or death, but you'll still be there to help him through that and that's something that someone who's not ex-Legion should really step up to do, instead of fucking lying to your kids. I think his pacifism is disgusting where it's going to end up protecting no one in such a savage world, but he's also not any kind of evil person and I always hesitate on being overly cruel when talking about him.
>tfw he's unhappy in any ending and I'm never sure whether that's very funny and pathetic, or very sad and miserable
