according to artistotle, virtue is centered on the development of moral character and the ability to act in accordance with phronesis, or practical wisdom. since FNS failed in the practical application of his role, thus not fulfilling his ergon, or virtuous function, Verno's reaction should be considered justified according to Nicomachean Ethics, as it was directed solely at the right person for the right reason, not endangering the rest of the team. alternatively, his reaction can also be justified by viewing it as a form of direct justice, in response to the unspoken social contract that dictates every member is expected to pull their weight on a VALORANT team.

idk though i haven't taken ethics in a while

Verno’s punch isn’t justified under any serious ethical framework. Kantian ethics rejects it because violence treats FNS as a means, not an end. Utilitarianism condemns it since it harms team morale and performance. Aristotle’s virtue ethics is misapplied—phronesis demands rational, moderate actions, not rash aggression. Social contract theory doesn’t justify physical punishment; accountability in a team comes through coaching, not violence. Verno’s reaction is just emotional impulsiveness, not moral justice.
I do take my ethics class seriously

Under the lens of pragmatism, Verno punching FNS can be justified as a necessary action to facilitate the transition of younger talent into the competitive scene. Pragmatism prioritizes practical outcomes over rigid ethical considerations, and in this case, the removal of an aging competitor like FNS serves the greater good of fostering emerging players. As an older figure in the scene, FNS occupies a space that could be better utilized by fresh talent with greater longevity and potential for growth. While physical altercations are generally undesirable, pragmatism evaluates actions by their results, and if such an act expedites the necessary generational shift, it can be seen as a justifiable means to an end.

Verno punching FNS was a clear showcase of his nihilistic values, he saw the consequences of his actions as inconsequential in the grand scheme of the universe and (by extension) indulged his hedonism and succumbed to momentary tempestuous pleasure and aimed his fist at his superior. It is clear that Verno has a disdain of life and its beings and I believe his actions are unjustifiable and he should no longer be tolerated in team environments
