"Society wants everyone to be special little snowflakes when, in all honesty, most peoples lives are meaningless, monotonous things that will have no effect on anything in the world, and they will be forgotten within a few years of their deaths"

"Honor ? I don't have any of that, where's the honor in beating up people who don't stand a chance against me ?"

That's what she's saying...
It's an hypothetical answer to being called honorable for deciding to fight crime, she's saying stopping bad guys isn't a sportsmanlike competition, there's no honor there, as in she's not being an honorable warrior, she's just beating up people she doesn't agree with. It's considered heroism because those people happen to be bad persons

Pretty flawed logic there though In my opinion fairness and honor just don't apply very well the the real world. Plus if everyone could only fight exact matches no one would ever fight lol

It's a Sci-Fi show Depends on the definition of exact matchs, if between strength and dexterity and stuff, then it comes down to skill. That's kinda what they do in professional sports isn't it? Honour's an ideal at best, a code of morals and ethics as it were. Chivarly, Boushido, are based on Honour. Fairness? Well, nothing in the world is fair.

"Having a heart makes you weak, Feeling makes you weak & for gods sake don't you cry its makes you even weaker. Forsake your weakness & nothing will stop you, Nothing will faze you. You will be strong.

I don't agree, having a heart and feelings makes you far stronger than having neither could ever hope to make you.

Depends which feelings. And what you count as feelings. Willpower/resolve/determination is a big part of being strong, any feeling that would "give you strength" depends on that. Hatred is very strong motivator too, though still dependent on will. Having an heart, in the figurative sense makes you nothing but weak though, compassion and empathy certainly aren't strengths, the quote above even spells it out "nothing will faze you", being strong means being unfazed where others would falter.
Exemple, imagine a burning house with screaming people inside, there's basically 3 reactions:
-> being distraught/disgusted/etc, that's weak
-> being unfazed and ignoring it (which is what I did), that's strong
-> helping them/being a hero, that's just being kind (and could be either but probably more strong than weak)

You've already contradicted the quote and yourself. It says feelings make you weak, and you've described a bunch of feelings, or emotions rather, that can help make you strong.
You think compassion and empathy make you weak, they don't and you're wrong, but I know I won't change your mind, so there's no need to get into it, as you'll say I'm wrong.
Being unfazed and ignoring it isn't strong either, it isn't exactly weak, but it isn't strong. It's indifference, it doesn't matter either way. And being compassionate and kind led a guy to be a strong brave hero and save lives. Huh, and I thought you said it meant you were weak?
