I might write another jinx Halloween fic, just corpse bride edition because I love the movie
I don't really think OP is saying that their crimes aren't crimes, just that they're still citizens that Cait gasses. They're point was that selling drugs and engaging in gang violence isn't really too bad of a crime when a lot of these people are just trying to get by.
It's a system put in place by the people on top (Piltover's leaders) who do nothing to really help Zaun or it's people. That ofc leads to Zaun's people trying to put money on the table in more underhanded ways. Not unlike lower funded places America.
These people shouldn't be GASSED with something that can def kill them (look at season 1 Viktor) because they are low tier criminals.
Its kind of the equivalent of literally dropping Asbestos on a city to clear the area. Sure you'd probably accomplish your goal but that's still a war crime and pretty awful overall.
And the grey being released wasn't a punishment for petty theft. It was used as a way to get Jinx, so by your logic it would still be wrong because your rights weren't taken away for crimes you yourself have committed, they were taken away because you happen to live IN Zaun.

It is WILD that you say “selling drugs and engaging in gang turf war does not make you not a citizen” as if that changes the fact that they’re still CRIMES.
I mean, if your logic is that Zaun is technically part of Piltover and thus falls under Piltover’s jurisdiction… committing a CRIME under their jurisdiction means you can suffer consequences from your actions. No? It doesn’t MATTER if you’re a citizen or not. Being a citizen doesn’t give you free rein to do whatever you want! You have to obey laws!
If I’m a citizen of a city in America, and I do a crime, the police of that city are allowed to take away my rights as a citizen. That’s what being a citizen in a functional society MEANS!

*old hag voice* problematic this problematic that. Back in my day the jasicos pericos and valangelos fought to the death. unless you shipped the ot3 then it was okay. the valangelos thought they had it in the bag until leo fucked off to calypso island. we were so certain of a jasico victory until the last 20 pages of boo. perico never stood a chance but they were stronger than any soldier. thalico became illegal overnight. the assault on them was merciless. the winner of the great nico ship wars was a guy we forgot existed since 4 books ago. nothing was ever the same.
the pink streak of light. jinx escaped
happy birth to my one and only
Y'all saw that too💀 ts was funny, esp since jinx doesn't have a set sexuality, it's completely different shipping her with fem characters vs shipping vi (a confirmed lesbian) with male characters and the fact that he saw it as such a sin makes me giggle
it’s hysterical seeing men pissing themselves over the fact there aren’t that many jinx x male reader fics boo fucking hoo!
Why do fans keep acting like Rhaenyra and Cersei are in the same situation ?
Cersei's children aren't Robert's, the ruling monarch
Rhaenyra's children aren't Laenor's, the consort
Rhaenyra is the legitimate heir and Jace, Luke and Joffrey are her biological kids
Robert didn't know about Joffrey, Myrcella and Tommen
Laenor actively knew that Rhaenyra had chosen Harwin as the biological father of their children and agreed
Corlys and Rhaenys knew and loved the Velaryon boys and acknowledged them as their grandsons
