[orange, wielding a gun, shoots at green] DIE!
[green is pouring blood from the chest, falling to the floor] Gasp! You shot me!
[blue, shrugging] As a neutral onlooker, I saw green insult orange before orange shot green, so I guess they’re both equally at fault here
[green, laying in a pool of their own blood, is extremely confused]
It’s actually incredibly shocking how many people online seem to actually think that violence is a justifiable response to insults or “disrespect,” and it seems like it’s shifting even more aggressively in that direction every year. I honestly can’t think of many things less worthy of respect, or more pathetic than escalating a situation beyond words because you got your feelings hurt or you got out in your place. If you don’t like feeling that way then maybe take it as a lesson.
You must be rolling in it if you’re spending that much on SFX. Are smugimations the key to winning capitalism?
I realize you’re going for argumentum ad absurdum but unfortunately I’m with Heinlein on this one. Rude and/or antisocial behavior is reasonable justification for murder. Politeness and kindness for everybody until they prove unworthy of it.
Then eliminate the cunt.
Then we should genocide all colonized/oppressed peoples since they tend to fight back and it’s rude ?
What a shit take.
Obviously it’s the colonizers being beyond rude that need murdering.
Guys guys, there’s no need to fight over this. They all need murdering.
The true centrist take.
I think it was Robin Williams that had a take on that, only he included the death would be temporary. So you’d wake up from being killed and realize you were a jerk.
Talk about pussy-ass bitch talk holy shit what a stupid thing to say hahaha
