I just can’t believe you’d be in as much trouble for pirating and playing HP as you would be for Nestlé. There are better games, with objectively better worlds and creators. HP isn’t a monolith. But Nestlé is everywhere. You can’t avoid it. You can’t get away from it. And for people with guilt disorders (or disorders that make it harder to rationalize thought and avoid undue guilt), telling them “Feeding yourself and having clean water to drink is just as immoral as playing the new Bigotry Slave-Owner Sim game” is a horrible, unjustifiable action. Nestlé cannot be avoided. And shaming people who can’t get away from their hyperfixations isn’t helping anyone. You’re being needlessly negative; which is hurtful, because a lot of people come to your blog for positivity. I know that’s not your responsibility (to cater to an audience), but you still have that image, that you cultivated, by being a blog where people know they won’t be judged. Where they think they won’t be judged.
They are equally moral and immoral.
You are not “in trouble” for doing either. It’s just a matter of personal ethics.
The only people I am shaming are the people who are harassing people for playing a video game when they don’t harass people over similarly immoral actions.
Don’t harass people for doing things you consider immoral
That’s my message.
