[Far Cry]

....are there cock fights in this game?

(Anonymous) 2023-05-27 12:01 am (UTC)(link)
Gross.

(Anonymous) 2023-05-27 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
Huh. Wouldn't have expected that.

(Anonymous) 2023-05-27 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
What’s fake? Because you said the cockfighting was real, so that can’t be what you were calling fake.

(Or maybe it’s obvious what you mean, and I’m just crazy or loopy off of my ambien.)

DA

But I assume they mean "pixels moving around harm no actual animals, I'm not going to get morally indignant over thoughtcrime."

(Anonymous) 2023-05-27 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
Gotcha, that would make sense

(Anonymous) 2023-05-27 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
Sounds alright for those of us who don't expect a video game to provide (or confirm) our moral compass in the first place.

It’s all haggling over the price. Some people wouldn’t play Hatred because it would offend them. Some people think Hatred isn’t that bad, but wouldn’t play Rapelay. Some folks who’d be fine with Rapelay would be offended by . . . I dunno, is there a video game equivalent to Racial Holy War?

I’m not saying that I want Far Cry banned, or that it has a meaningful impact on the world one way or another. I’m just offended, like someone being offended by Hatred.

Ah. Well, that's fair.

I hesitate to ask, but I'll ask anyway, out of genuine curiosity: is there any benefit to being offended by any of it?

Re: OP

(Anonymous) 2023-05-27 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
No, not at all. But when I dislike something, I don’t think “it would benefit me if I somehow made myself like it instead.”

P.S. The reason I’m even talking about these games’ morality is because Far Cry 2 clearly wanted to say something about cycles of violence. It was stupid, but it was sincerely stupid. FC6 is part of the same series, so I think comparing it is fair.

No, that's fine. I didn't mean to imply that you should. I tend to let my feelings be, as they are, too.

Thanks for taking the time to explain this. If earlier FarCry had things to say about morality, and its successors more or less throw that to the wind, I can see why you'd be indignant about it.
