Worst of Social Justice

She didn't.  You cannot, I repeat, cannot throw that type of taunt in the air then bitch when your shit hits the fan and sprays everyone around you.

Ironbite-it's just stupid.

[Ultimate Paragon]

Breaking a rule of mine but....she kinda brought this on herself.

Ironbite-I mean when you basically say come and get me and someone does, you can't cry.

I keep hearing that she posted her own information and dared people to do something with it (although I might be confusing her with plebcomics). If that's true, then it's a valuable lesson in "don't taunt the internet".

Yeah, that's plebcomics. Though I'm pretty sure there was an old post of communismkills' going around where she posed with a gun and dared people to "come and get [her]." I'm not saying she deserves it but she really just cannot internet safety 101.

I agree, that was dumb, but it's still their fault for taking the bait.  I mean, if some rich idiot decides to flaunt his wealth in a bad part of town, that doesn't absolve his muggers from guilt.

Okay, we all know the comparison that's gonna be made here.

You know who else was morally questionable?

[Art Vandelay]

Hitler.

[Dakota Bob]

Okay, he killed a few people, but was he THAT bad?

[Ultimate Paragon]

He just keeps finding new ways to top himself, doesn't he?

I thought reinterpreting characters to argue they are evil was a time-honoured nerd tradition? Like, "Batman is a sociopath ruining Gotham" or "Edward is stalking Bella" or "Doc Brown is the real villain of back to the future"* or about 90% of After Hours.

Sure, McIntosh does it from an ideological perspective rather than one of humour, but it's basically the same thing.

i do know that in morrowind you are litterally the lesser evil (and not good guy mchappyface even if you try, as you basically commit acts leading to a race war), and that in most rpg's you fall somewhere on the sociopath spectrum (from grey and grey morality to outright murderhobo), but it's still pretty stupid to call lara croft a colonialist looter, as the name of the game is tomb raider. it's the point of the game. sure, she's chaotic neutral at best, but not outright evil. and playing that game does not make you a colonialist, else i'm a genocidal warlord for having played far cry 2.

[Sigmaleph]

I don't think anyone said playing the game makes you a colonialist.

[Art Vandelay]

That honour goes to Victoria 2.
