  • essentially, i just hate when shitlibs suddenly think the average bored joe is suddenly somehow as bad as epstein just because they download something from a creator that circumstantially happens to be a predator. and i hate when they think that simply not downloading it is enough to somehow magically do anything about the predator. i’ve encountered FARRRRR too many people who are so incomprehensibly dogmatic and idealistic, being like “IF YOU HAVE FUN THE WRONG WAY YOU’RE LITERALLY HITLER” and this youtube short which i’m speaking about is an instance of precisely that. to re-establish the context once again, 4chan made a release of minecraft legacy’s source code, and someone (who happens to be an online predator) has compiled it for users to easily download and play on steam. the steam redistributed version of this copy was quickly taken down, but people who did download it or wished to download it said they would’ve downloaded it anyway regardless of whether the person who compiled and redistributed it happened to be a predator or not, and it got this youtuber ABSOLUTELY SEETHING, because people didn’t magically just go “OMG I HAVE TO STOP THIS PREDATOR RIGHT NOW!!!” because that is NOT what’s on their minds; what’s on their minds is that “oooh a pre-compiled copy of minecraft legacy for me to download and play, neat” but then this dogmatic idealistic youtuber’s like “HOW DARE YOU DOWNLOAD THIS VERSION! I DON’T CARE THAT IT WAS CONVENIENT, YOU DOWNLOADED FROM A PEDOPHILE!” while it is clear that downloading a literal copy of minecraft doesn’t have any material impact on supporting said predator, neither does it act as an endorsement of their actions. essentially, i’m saying this youtuber’s crashout here is stupid and pointless and all the commenters are sheep for not realizing that it doesn’t fucking matter and you don’t have to gouge the eyes out of anyone who has downloaded that copy just because they didn’t feel that same ABSOLUTELY SEETHING anger toward the pedophile just for the moral high ground. i hate dogma, i hate idealism, and i ABSOLUTELY hate when people get so horrifically reactionary when people are trying to live their lives, going “OMG YOU JUST BOUGHT OR DOWNLOADED OR RECEIVED THIS THING FROM THIS EVIL SOURCE!!!” like holy shit calm the fuck down we just want to live our lives you can’t expect us to INDIVIDUALLY just boycott everything from people who exploit, you can’t just point out all the technical “wrongs” we’re doing, you can’t just be like trotsky who made a 10 year old cry over wearing a red scarf instead of a red tie. in essence, i hate when people do this kind of thing
