in a just, abolitionists society that doesn't believe in the carceral system or death penalty so called "shunning" is a powerful thing. someone does something cruel that the community finds irredeemable? state the facts of what they did as publicly as possible so everyone knows and then shun them. let them either change their ways out of survival or parish while clinging to their bigotry and hatred. it's the only solution that i've found.
the way games are going now is the way games have BEEN going. capitalism's only purpose is infinite growth at any and all expense. this is what that looks like for gaming, bigger bigger bigger while bandaging it up with TAA and framegen and DLSS. when this house of cards tumbles, i know i will capitalise on it by not investing in the same mistakes again. but, i can only really hope that others do the same.
all violent empires end up ouroborosing, it's inevitable. the important part is whether or not the people also being consumed capitalise on this event or not
as an ace person we need less romance in games period. or at least the fucking ability to opt out, it's always gooner shit anyway
given the history of video games, and video game censorship, i know this has a low likelihood of coming to fruition. however, i would adore a game where i massacre a bunch of capitalists like ultrakill
companies like Sony literally created the economic conditions that make this disgusting tactic unsurprising to see btw.
not at all surprising, we're talking about a company that almostly solely hires white cis men and refuses to tackle that
Well what you're bringing up now is a very nuanced discussion. nuanced and possibly even subjective.
but my take, reeducation as a concept surely doesn't remind me of anything ethical in real world history. it also still reminds me of a carceral system, just a differently short-sighted one. i can't imagine a crime befitting of reeducation either, i mean let's talk about bigotry for instance. how far do you go trying to avoid shunning a bigot before you're just doing them the favour of giving them people to abuse? how would you teach a bigot out of bigotry, in this scenario they're already living in a world without the systems that cultivate an environment of bigotry yet they persist. they're beyond help as far as i'm concerned. also, some crime happens out of necessity because of being left behind by capitalism.
i at least don't think crimes against humanity are worthy of mercy of any sort.
