Sfon: looking inside yourself and personally dealing with your own feelings.

Nafe: You just slightly increased my faith in humanity. Terrific post and very much correct (in my opinion). Good stuff.

Sfon: Back on topic (hopfully >_>) No, I don't see the technical definition of 'simulation' and such to be on topic.
It is a fact of the world that people will disagree and view things differently. If there is to be any peace we must accept that. So long as we are asking "Is it right or wrong, should they be doing this?" when forging social policy we will be part of the problem. It doesn't matter if it is right or wrong, what matters is who if anyone is being harmed. You can say all day that Rapelay is sick and make arguments on if it is more or less sick than Manhunt, but at the end of the day none of it matters. What matters is the game does not involve raping real people, and so long as that is true each person can make their own decision about it.
It is stupid, people like to make others go by what they think is 'right' or 'wrong' no matter how subjective it is. This is the nonesense behind oppressing people of other religions. I personally think Christianity is 'sick', but I have no right to enforce that viewpoint as social policy. It is popular to want world peace, but sadly everyone insists that it cannot exist except on their terms. They want anything that makes them emotionally uncomfortable to be gotten rid of, often altogether so it cannot even exist in private. They don't care if it truly disrupts society, though if pressed will pull ways it supposedly does or might out of their rear-end.
I see 'sick' as somewhat of a manupulative nonesense term. It has no significant meaning, but people treat it like the be all and end all what what should and should not be allowed. Sick simply means it makes you feel uncomfortable, and when you have to resort to that as the reason something ought not to be allowed you have already lost. The world doesn't revolve around you, and social norms do not make this ok. We either accept that or we submit ourselves to be endlessly ripping at each other's throats about petty nonesense.
I expect many here will not accept what I have to say. Why? Because it would mean *gasp* looking inside yourself and personally dealing with your own feelings. That is really what this comes down to. They are uncomfortable and rather than personally dealing with their own feelings, they selfishly push their own burden on everyone else. All their arguments are just to hide that fact, both from themselves and others.

Shoelip: Simply ignoring something that you have a problem with will just allow your feelings to turn to hatred. Then again, most of the time talking about it doesn't help either.

Aliasalpha: So what, you're saying the answer is violence? Right, now where did I put my chainsaw...

Aliasalpha: but... but... My chainsaw! I just found it!
Also, if yoda is right, doesn't hate lead to suffering rather than violence?

Shoelip: No, the next step after hatred is violence. I'm just saying there's no clear answer.

michaelleung: How do you know the next step is violence if there's no clear answer... it could be a peaceful resolution... I'm just pointing that out.

Shoelip: I'm not seeing how not knowing how to prevent something means you can't know what you're preventing.
Throughout human history hate has led to violence. So the question is, how do we stop hate? There's no clear answer to that.

michaelleung: This might tell you how to stop hate:
A site that teaches you how to stop hate.

Shoelip: No, that just makes people annoyed.
