Instead of acting to eliminate power structures he just creates a universe where he can be a tyrant instead.
/u/EroticCake, welcome to the human race. This is what people do. You'd do it too, if you had the chance, but that's a lot more work than just shitposting about how morally superior you are.
I don't think I'm morally superior to anyone - I'm just not a brutal cynic. I like to think it would be a minority of people who would actually act like this given the opportunity. Would you REALLY, given no police/government or what have you, go around senselessly murdering and torturing people? I doubt it, and I think most people feel the same. Humans have an extraordinary capacity for empathy and compassion, even to other SPECIES, I refuse to believe we would all senselessly destroy each other given the opportunity.
Alright, but we should institutionalize them right? If someone kills lots of female characters in GTA and it wasn't necessary to do that for plot advancement, does that not mandate corrective action?
I would hope so. I would also hope there would be safeguards to disallow this sort of thing wherever possible - mandatory connectivity of computers sophisticated enough to house sentient AIs being connected to the internet for instance.
How should we most effectively institutionalize those who kill characters in video games? Or, more importantly, sexually abuse woman-like characters in video games?
I have no idea. Good sci fi should raise more questions than it answers, and to that extent this is fucking awesome sci fi.
It's not hard to be superior to you and your weak "intelligent" tryhard comments, you're pretty mediocre lolcattle. At least you feel the need to reply to each comment with more insults.
You can't literaly advocate for social engeneering and brainwashing, and then deny you're a cultural marxist, my boy.
Leftist SJW like to pretend it's a term invented by the (((alt-right))), but it really is not. The term comes from the 1973 book 'The Critique of Domination: The Origins and Development of Critical Theory' by professor Trent Schroyer. It was used to describe one faction of a split in the late 60s left between those who saw believed their focus should be on the liberation of the working class and those who thought they should be focused on the liberation of oppressed peoples.
Don't you think, in you rotten marxist mind, that everyone's goal in life should be to liberate the oppressed people from power structure and domination, somehow? Then congrats fukboi, you're a cultural marxist.
Look at bitcoin. People were nonstop defrauding each other in the absence of regulations. You don't have to have murder and torture to need power structures.
Eh, the problem with it is that the episode quality varies so much. There are some episodes that are genuinely fantastic with how the tech is presented, and then there are others which make me roll my eyes about how obvious the "twist" is.
To be fair, you have to have a very high attention span to understand Black Mirror. The concepts are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of media theory most of the episodes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Charlie Brookers nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into the stories. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these stories, to realise that they’re not just scary- they say something deep about LIFE.
It was decent, but they need to do less of the "wut if we cud make digital copies of ppl?" storylines. It's already been done several times, I don't think it needed to be half of season 4, as well.
Maybe I'd be less critical if they used it to explore a range of issues, but they always seem to be stories about how "it's our humanity that makes us human" so they're mostly rehashes of the same idea.
That being said, Metalhead was the weakest episode, IMO. Zombies is such a tired genre, and making the zombies into robots didn't freshen it up any.
It's like the Matrix. You take a red pill and realize that you live in a heteropatriarchy, so you stop participating in fake world activities and spend all your time on TrollX and other real world places.
