When is trolling consistent with treating people as ends in themselves, asking for a friend
@schakalsynthetc @sarahdoingthing Bad guys wristlock you, throw you into tree, then break your wrist for good measure.

@St_Rev@sarahdoingthing one complication is that victims' standard of how much pain is worth a result varies and isn't known in advance -
@St_Rev@sarahdoingthing one may not mind being thrown into a tree if there's an ultimate payoff & another would feel it wasn't worth it -
@St_Rev@sarahdoingthing which is kind of what I was aiming at with the point about justification being contingent on victim's > -
@St_Rev@sarahdoingthing < after-the-fact feelings about it (which is tricky bc we can't expect people to be mindreaders) -
@schakalsynthetc@sarahdoingthing My thesis is that pure trolling refrains from predicting or directing the victim's reaction. -
@St_Rev@sarahdoingthing I kind of think some prediction has to factor in to the initial decision whether it's ethically ok to proceed -
@schakalsynthetc@St_Rev "be the troll you want to see in the world" complicated by the world being made up of lots of alien minds -
@sarahdoingthing@St_Rev yup. nevermind what it's like to be a bat, us humans still aren't exactly sure what it's like to be another human - 4 more replies
