@PhotonGiga @VAsgore_ How quickly must she have responded for it to be responsible behavior? And to what degree is she responsible for the online behavior of people who make racist jokes in spite of her repeated statements against it going back years?

@PhotonGiga @VAsgore_ "It wasn't an unrelated joke. It was *several*."

How many days has it been since you've posted about the Uyghurs? The Masalit? The Rohingya? The Kurds?

These are genocides going on and you're enjoying your life and not speaking up about them?

@PhotonGiga @VAsgore_ So to be clear: The issue is that there was racism happening in the fandom around this creator's show, and the creator did tweet out a statement about it, but before doing that they tweeted out an unrelated joke?

That is a contender for the gold medal of stupid excuses.

@colindpalmer @ryangrim Conversely, are there more cases of these illnesses now because a bunch of idiots responded to COVID by intentionally engaging and promoting behaviors that are counter to good public health practices?

@KlondikeBob199 @Harri18971 @sog_on_bird_app @SecrtAgntSquirl Make up whatever rules you feel like you need to.

@Harri18971 @SecrtAgntSquirl @GuentherZachary @sog_on_bird_app I’m using the dictionary definition.

@Harri18971 @KlondikeBob199 @GuentherZachary @sog_on_bird_app @SecrtAgntSquirl I didn’t make it that at all. Plenty of people will have knowledge and will vote intentionally.

@Harri18971 @SecrtAgntSquirl @GuentherZachary @sog_on_bird_app I think your English may be the issue. A vote can be, but doesn’t necessarily have to be, random. Like how a rectangle can be, but doesn’t necessarily have to be, a square.

A random vote is a vote. And a non-random vote is a vote.

@Harri18971 @SecrtAgntSquirl @GuentherZachary @sog_on_bird_app It tells us plainly. And since it doesn’t narrow, it remains broad and plain.

@Harri18971 @KlondikeBob199 @GuentherZachary @sog_on_bird_app @SecrtAgntSquirl No. I’ve been consistent. Voting means what it’s defined as: Casting a vote. And casting a vote is an exceedingly simple act that requires almost no knowledge, wisdom, or context.

@Harri18971 @SecrtAgntSquirl @GuentherZachary @sog_on_bird_app Voting is defined as casting a vote. And in this scenario the mechanism described is pressing a button. After which, one of four outcomes takes place depending on your vote and the vote of the majority.

A baby isn’t voting with the intention of leading to its own death.

@Harri18971 @SecrtAgntSquirl @GuentherZachary @sog_on_bird_app I’m using the simplest and plainest definition. You’re altering it, narrowing and specifying, to make the scenario amenable to the decision you’ve already made.

@KlondikeBob199 @Harri18971 @GuentherZachary @sog_on_bird_app @SecrtAgntSquirl Like when “Everyone” becomes “Everyone who meets whatever criteria I imagine exists for sound mind, age of majority, etc.”

Instead of the text as it exists.

@Harri18971 @SecrtAgntSquirl @GuentherZachary @sog_on_bird_app No. It doesn’t say that. It says everyone takes a private vote by pressing a red button or a blue button.

It isn’t that everyone is informed, or everyone is uninformed, it’s that the scenario doesn’t discriminate.

[feed after midnight @improvyzer]

@Harri18971 @SecrtAgntSquirl @GuentherZachary @sog_on_bird_app Voting means casting a vote. And in this scenario that means pressing a button. And everyone is doing it.

It can be blind, random, careless, or thoughtless, just as well as it can be reasoned, considered, or well understood.

@Harri18971 @SecrtAgntSquirl @GuentherZachary @sog_on_bird_app Voting doesn’t mean doing it randomly. Voting means doing it. Randomly or not.

@s8mb You'd think all the red votes would be predicated on a misunderstanding of the scenario.

But no, there are still people saying, "Even knowing that at least one of my children is likely to have voted blue, it is still right not to make the choice that can prevent their death."

[feed after midnight @improvyzer]

@ShipMyMoneyDFS @KcDubya23 There's a roughly 0% chance that his blue vote is the vote that puts blue over the top at 50%+1. But there's an absolutely 0% chance that his red vote saves his daughter if she votes blue.

@micsolana >initially, most people assumed we were talking about adults

Counterpoint: Only red voters, who are in the minority every time this scenario comes up, assumed that.
