As if people don't already have a blurred sense of responsibility for thier actions, someone is now making a game with the express point of teaching that there should be no consequences for acts of violence.
Why don't we just start making games where the object is to rape women, or abduct and molest children? No consequences, right? No good or evil, right? No difference whatsoever... right?
Right.
And people think climate change is a problem?
There are no absolutes and morality is a manmade creation. The universe is a very violent, very indifferent place. And yes in a game where you rape women and molest children there are no consequences BECAUSE NO ONE ACTUALLY GOT FUCKING RAPED OR MOLESTED!!!
At least its more honest. What do games like CoD, et al teach now? Killing is a good thing and actually a preferred thing. Negotiation? Diplomacy? Just being a decent fucking human being? Well why bother when you can just blow shit up instead?
And IRL look at the American propaganda machine. They invade sovereign nations who've never lifted a finger against the US and then people thank the "heroes" for their service and defending their "freedoms". Wtf? How can anyone be that disconnected from reality? It's classic Orwellian doublethink. So where exactly are these consequences you're speaking of? Oh right, if you're poor and commit and a crime and can't afford a good lawyer there are consequences, but that's about it.
Here's a perfect example of that....
Billionaire Gets 4 MONTHS For Sexually Assaulting 12-Year-Old Because He’s ‘Productive’"SC Johnson, the “family” company’s billionaire heir, Samuel Curtis Johnson III, who confessed to repeatedly sexually assaulting his teenage stepdaughter has received an outrageous prison sentence of only four months because the judge, Circuit Justice Eugene Gasiorkiewicz, feels that Johnson’s importance to the community is valued much higher than the dignity of his abused step-daughter."
Welcome to reality.
