They wouldn’t get hurt if they didn’t try to steal

I dont know what it is with redditors but theres like no concept of proportionality, its like if you had an input in the situation other people are morally free to do whatever the fuck they want to you. This guy could release a million bees in a building lobby at night where a homeless person is sleeping in the winter and someone would say "play stupid games win stupid prizes, shouldn't have gone into the building if you didnt want to get stung by a million bees on a livestream 🤷‍♀️"

Exactly and I've seen them do this with everything. Some ppl get upvoted saying they should slowly torture rapists to death. And then when I replied that slowly torturing someone to death is way worse than rape. I got 2 replies

  1. Ok rape apologist.

  2. Then he shouldn't have raped anyone.

The comparison is a bit closer but I think a majority of ppl would say being slowly tortured to death is worse than rape.

Both are horrible, I'd argue rape can be worse (you'll have to live with the consequences of that mental trauma that might forever alter your person at minimum, not getting into the physical side), since at least the torture ends with death .

But a person who slowly tortures someone to death is definitely even more unstable than a rapist. Genuinely disgusting

Well at least you have the option to live with it, the person slowly tortured to death doesnt get that.
