Your points would carry more weight if you weren't so obnoxiously condescending. You write like a high schooler who is baselessly confident that they're smarter than everyone they talk to because they read a few headlines.
Take it down a notch, buddy boy. Your hyperbole just makes you look like an idiot
Yeah, I realize that. I just strongly dislike admitting I'm wrong, especially to people who are, like, cartoonishly wrong themselves.
No one you're arguing with has been as wrong as comparing playing mobile games to supporting slavery. You're definitely on the cartoonish end of being wrong
I see what you're saying. It just gets to me, the fact that their starting point was basically "morals and ethics don't exist. Everything is just personal preference."
At that point, it's like I'm compelled to give SOME KIND OF EXAMPLE of what a morally wrong thing might be.
Morals aren't relevant when you're talking about if a game is fun or not, though. And the game being fun (if it is - I've never even heard of it) is why people play. Your first post was a whole lot of high horsin that made your question seem rhetorical. Like you just wanted to rant and didn't actually care that people find the game fun to play
