Great point. A dystopia in science fiction is indeed harmless. Because its a game i cant actually be physically harmed so i fully enjoy giving my consent to playing it
Wait you where arguing against me.
Are you saying we should ban violence and evil in games? I know this maybe common in orthodox religions but i can’t agree, media like cyberpunk are proving positive value by how they critique how concepts can be expressed as evil. Thats majorly important for the growth in society.
(Either the religious angle or you completely misunderstood my entire point, context is key. The way and when it is expressed is context)
You knew the context of the thread, and you chose to be like “um ackshully, all concepts are benign” as though the context in which we were speaking encompassed fiction and roleplay instead of actual harm to actual people. It belittled that harm for no reason.
I said the same thing about what was harming you, and now you have a problem.
“Capitalism isn’t bad. It’s what humans do with them that is bad.“
My reply was to someone who failed to understand what this meant so i provide additional context.
If you don’t understand that this conversation is literally about the differences between a concept and the context that makes it evil then i have nothing to tell you except you may want to work your reading comprehension.
Nothing i said says i find all concepts benign, the opposite is true they are all very interesting to think about. What i state they are not is inherently evil like its a cosmic fact written in the stars.
Also, i have not been attacking anyone merely engaged in friendly philosophy. Unlike you who suggested i am fine with bigotry.
This is a community for leftist thoughts, infighting makes us weaker.
If you have nothing more that is friendly to say, please don’t say nothing at all. Have a good day.

I quote the context in which i was speaking.

When the only context in which it’s evil is “the world outside of games and fiction,” then it’s evil.
It sure is buddy. I will take your holy word for it.

As long as you can think of some convoluted circumstance in which it’s ok, everything is fine.
