No, it does not matter if they were peasants or not. Murder is murder. However, the statement “he has to stop killing peasants” sounds like he kills peasants every month or something, while in reality, he HAS killed some innocent people centuries ago, and hasn’t done it since.
We were being humerous because we always joke about peasant killing, be it Rumple, Regina or Hook.
“he used the dagger to kill soldiers” snow and charming killed countless soldiers on screen. so did many heroes on this show.
Actually they haven’t. We rarely see war conflict leading to death from Snow and Charming. Even the “take back the kingdom” story was dramatically reduced to a small handful of episodes in which veryittle, if any, murder was done. This is not say nothing of the very tricky topic of war vs premeditated murder and acceptability (not something I’m sure I personally buy, but something that is far less white and black)
