Zac Writes Sometimes 💭 @zac13.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Fair, although I'm not sure one should even ascribe these sorts of in-games acts as "symbolic sadism or evil". In the GTA example, is the morality of shooting at NPCs determined by if the video game has labelled them Enemies? 140
Zac Writes Sometimes 💭 @zac13.bsky.social · 01/10/2026What is it that makes it "fucked up" though? Does playing GTA say anything about a person's willingness/desire to murder and steal? What makes that different? There's no substance upon which this "says a lot about" a person 150

Zac Writes Sometimes 💭 @zac13.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I struggle to put words to it, but there is an incredible darkness (evidently captured by this movie to some degree) to the way chuds view any and all violence against alleged pedophiles as unquestionably just and righteous 041
