      Well, don't give it away then You could've prevented this whole thing by just not doing that If you don't want people to do things to you against your will, don't give up your power That's what "power" means

      People want to be *proven right* when they do things out of principle, they engage in a certain degree of magical thinking You leave your door unlocked and some primitive part of your brain thinks that by doing so, you will inspire people to be good and not break into your house

      But that's not what having principles actually means If you really have principles, you have to prepare that those principles will fail in the material world If you really decide to trust someone, you have decided to allow that person to harm you

      The one thing in Rowling I can’t throw away is the moment when Harry and Cedric take the cup. It is morally the best thing either of them can do and it ends up having the worst possible outcome of all options. And that is no one’s fault but the bad guy’s. And that *CAN HAPPEN*.

      Well the thing is there, too, it's largely a function of whose story it is right? It doesn't end up "all right" in the end, but it isn't the end either. But it is Cedric's end. It's only not crushing because of whose story it ultimately is.

      And like this is why TLOU2 *really* ticked some people (myself included, to a degree) off; its "lack of moral clarity" as the article proclaims it is *really* just refusing to assign a clear, absolute protagonist and antagonist. Giving the antagonist their own full arc & quest.

      And that is saying something pretty fundamental about the falsehood of narrative, isn't it The game would be less "morally gray" if we cut Abby's half of the game You're saying you want me to withhold information so your moral decisions are easier to make

      (That's slightly unfair, since after all this is all fiction anyway Even so though It's a trite point but I think it's a true one -- if showing you a full biopic about this enemy soldier's life would make it unacceptable to kill him, then you need to quit the Army)

      It's just, like Sure, if I try to rub your nose in every negative moral consequence your choices have, after a certain point I'm being an asshole We all need a little bit of obliviousness to get through the day But it's not a good look to be *that* allergic to knowing things

      Like someone who performatively goes "I'm an empath, I can't stand to see or hear or even think about a living thing in pain If there's an animal dying on TV you have to turn it off" "But do you eat meat?" "Yes but I could NEVER kill an animal myself"

      Okay well... fine then But that kind of being an "empath" isn't a MORAL thing, at all It's not morality, it's an aesthetic preference If you yourself do think of it as morality, then that makes you a moral coward and a hypocrite

          Arguably worse than someone who just openly doesn't give a shit about animals and thinks they're just piles of edible meat that happen to have faces If you think killing animals is *wrong*, *don't demand other people do something for you that you think is wrong*

          If you can't sit through this video of how a slaughterhouse works, then fucking stop eating meat If you think becoming "desensitized" by watching this video until the blood and guts no longer bother you is making you a worse person, then fucking stop eating meat

          i read a neat essay yesterday that was reading Hannibal against Steven Universe (!) as both being stories about empathy as a (supernatural) superpower and the limitations thereof, of taking that as Goodness or morality or enough in and of itself
