  • And to take it a step further, the murder of adults is just as bad as children as far as the decision making process is concerned. I agree that a baby is defenseless and morally there is an argument that it is more cruel to harm them directly, but what purpose does that distinction serve here? If we find out that 0 babies died by decapitation does that mean the violence against soft targets by Hamas is more tolerable? Or that Hamas looks less barbaric? There is a time and place where that granularity is important, like sentencing, but mainstream media is definitely not able to handle something that is so convenient to sensationalize. Essentially it becomes an emotionally charged statement that desensitizes us from the other significant acts of violence, and makes overlooking atrocities that much easier.

    They got it a little backwards, would it not be weirder if it changed? Perhaps I like games because they can’t easily be corrupted by the modern world and therefore feel comforting. Even movies and books from the past are commonly being modified these days with censorship. It is fascinating that you can play and experience a game in a way that’s identical to the day it first came out.
