people in the ofmd fandom love to judge everything characters-who-are-not-Ed do through the framework of them being pirates who kill people for a living, and everything Ed does through a framework of him being anything but a pirate. so when he does anything violent it gets dissected and taken completely out of context and given very stupid labels.
is it bad to cut off your employee's toes and feed them to him? well, yeah. obviously if I went to work tomorrow and my boss fed me my own toes I'd have some complaints. but I also have not tried to kill my boss' boyfriend multiple times or gotten the entire company arrested. I work in an office.
if you are a pirate captain and your first mate tries to kill your boyfriend multiple times and gets everyone arrested and then has the audacity to be a dick to you about it... well at that point you-the-pirate-captain would be pretty justified in just straight up killing him. anything short of that is weirdly merciful, actually.
and if he specifically requested that you go back to being the type of guy who feeds people their own toes for a laugh, then showing up at his bedside with a comically large pair of scissors is funny as hell.

"Christian Kane is in every TV show" factoid is actually a statistical error. The average TV show does not cast Christian Kane. Devlin Georg, who casts Christian Kane in every show he makes, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.
