I, too, believe we need a way to clarify the reason for our denunciations, among other communicative options, including the gentler "Hey, bro, that was not cool".

Also, has an episode covered this article? TLDR: the game is about killing people, and its design actively discourages a pacifist approach.

Not that article specifically, but the view it takes has been addressed otherwise over the years. That said, the means the author choose to go about this approach -- from ignoring Religion to disabling the Domination Victory -- take away greatly from its intended message. Appreciate the referral nonetheless though.
