I quit browsing r/gcj a while back after seeing someone get upvoted to the top of their daily discussion thread for their hot take that cyberbullying the U.S Army Esports twitch account is morally wrong because its probably run by some poor kid who was forced into the military by circumstances and surely itsn’t responsible for what the military does. I think they compared it to yelling at a retail worker for their store’s items being too expensive lmao

Glad to see its still the same den of faux-radical liberalism that it was back then

At the end of the day, no matter how not terrible their politics are, they are still g*mers.

He Was Just Following Orders, you guys. :-p

I mean, more comparable to yelling at an entry level marketing/sales rep.

And while I agree that’s sort of a shit thing to do individually, I’d argue the world would be a better place if Sales Reps were more openly reviled and discriminated against than pimps or street dealers.

don’t you hate it when the boss tells you to bomb a village and some 12 year old KAREN asks to speak to your manager because you “killed their parents.” Like I’m sorry honey, but whose idea do you think that was?
