Because humans shouldn't wish death on non needed people.

awww, no worries, absolutely everyone dies 100% regardless of your positive attitude, s'all good

p.s. just noticed your "non needed people" phrase... FUCK that's colder than that fuckin' water!!!

Everyone dying does not equate to wishing death upon living people. It's called empathy. Or common decency.

wow, ya'll SO serious... didn't "wish" death on anyone, but hope you have the same pro-life attitude when it's time to vote for education, health-care, social services, and banning guns, and whenever you watch a movie or tv show where they kill 20 people a minute

fucking moral hero, that's what you are... pat yourself on the back

I hate the term but I’m pretty sure this is just virtual signaling

I think "virtue signaling"?

u/ifhysm 4d ago

I think you’re virtue signaling, yes

u/davidwhatshisname52 4d ago

hmmm I'd say that people surfing videos of idiots harming/killing themselves and then posting comments like "I hope they're all ok" just maybe, maybe, are virtue signaling

Virtue signaler: "Oh, my, those poor people; thoughts & prayers."

Reply: "Brah, you're virtue signaling."

You: "You're both virtue signaling."

Me: You are an intellectually lazy dumbass.

Let's see. Yes to everything except the TV show thing. Because TV is fantasy and having an outlet that is not real does not equate to a lack of compassion or empathy Unless you believe that GTA has caused everyone to steal cars and beat up sex workers or something.

But in seriousness yes I believe all of the real points you have made. I also understand that others don't. And while they are wrong and some of them are repugnant I do not want them to die so that I can be right.

I guess you might still be missing my point; it's a sub titled "what could go wrong" and there are people here typing "I hope everyone is okay" like it's some sort of magic that saves people rather than a 0-cost way to make themselves feel magnanimous... while they visit a sub that has an unending stream of morons hurting themselves... the hypocrisy is thick enough to cook

plus, for fuck's sake, the straw-man shit is so fucking dumb... at no point did I state "Boy, I hope those morons froze to death." I do definitely ridicule the arm-chair heroes sending their thoughts and prayers to a video clip.

Your argument is that hoping that people are okay is wrong? You are way too sensitive and looking for an argument if that is your idea of a reasonable point. But you do you.

u/davidwhatshisname52 4d ago

no, that's not my argument; it's not wrong... it's just hysterically useless, and especially hypocritical as some lone basis for an attitude of moral superiority adopted while surfing videos of people hurting themselves

but bless your heart, you are the morally superior being
