You are concern trolling. Stop that.

See, there are a LOT of threads on the GOG forum. Threads like:
- which game should I play
- where can I buy more games I have probably never heard of
- game X is being released
- say something funny
- game X is seeking funding
- steam sucks
- drm sucks
- macs suck
- GOG released a game I am uninterested in, the world ends in 3... 2...

If you think that "first world problems" is a valid argument (it's not, see below), all of them can be dismissed with "there are children dying, why are you talking about irrelevant things! think of the children!"

But you chose this one.

And I can't help to wonder, were there any instances in your life where this practice worked? Have you ever heard of someone -
not doing anything at the workplace;
wrecking someone else's car;
cheating on their girlfriend;
selling a faulty product
- and then getting away by saying "first world problems" to the offended party?

If you stopped to think, you might have realized this is the way society works. Even people who are actually helping the disadvantaged in third-world countries have other issues to worry about, and even most selfish people can be disgusted by goatse. You do not stop pursuing other (supplemental) goals just because there's something high-priority on your list.

Yes, it'd possibly be better if people weren't bothered by dead animals, or functioned on solar radiation only, or didn't commit logical fallacies. Here in this thread, you have a number of people who have been disgusted by a suggestion to post dead animals, and who have decided that posting in a thread would be a more efficient way to process this disgust (as opposed to "just ignoring it" or trying to not be disgusted, or whatever). This decision is 100% compatible with any other goals they might otherwise have, on a spectrum from Borlaug to Goebbels.

You might notice that there is no other stated goal to this thread with which "not seeing a thread about dead animals" might potentially conflict priority-wise. If we decide that making a forum post will make us feel better and be better at curing cancer / murdering passersby / sharding purplz / whatever it is that we do with our lives, we are right, and you are inconsistent and therefore wrong. So take your concern trolling elsewhere.
