Your standard of living is leagues above historically, mate. Chill out and smell the roses a little. The fact that you have time to type shit is cushy AF.

If she actually looks like a girl and is hot there's a good chance her parents are rich.

Wooot. I thought witches where women. I see. That's interesting. I think there was a similair paranoia during slavery about black men eyeing up snow bunnies. I guess its feeling overprotective of one's women turning into aggression. -
This is how green fails. It's too preoccupied with tribe consensus and ideological purity than being politically actionable. They don't really think about or care about results. Just that your wearing the right color of clothes, which comes at the expense of producing actionable results. It's conformist as hell and cringe 100.

I think video games can be good at putting you into the mind of different perspectives, being essentially simulations. By virtue of how the game's mechanics forces you to behave, what to avoid and how to think you can gain an appreciate for different an alien perspectives. It's different from trying to be artsy. Prime example are tactical FPS with slow movement and realistic guns. Makes you realize how psychologically stressful combat is. Like when you have to cross a field and have no idea if an enemy is watching. If you get caught in the open your dead. And you die die instantly and traumatically. There's no HP bar draining. You'll be alive one moment and the next you are dead. You could be in the thick of it and have no idea where the enemy is and unsure of what to do. Huddled behind a tree stump. Very intense. It makes you appreciate how much luck there is in combat too, whether or not an enemy just happens to see you. Whether or not random explosions and artillery hit you. Your forced to adopt to specific tactics in how you move and approach firefights, but because visibility is low and firefights tend to last just seconds you kind of have to project your mind unto the enemy and predict their movement as much as possible. Your not only moving from a to be looking out for the enemy but deducing their general whereabouts based on clues in your environment (gunshots, orientation of objectives relative to friendly/enemy lines, etc.). This is what I mean by how gaming can put you into a particular perspective. You have to think as a soldier in a microcosm of all the stress that involves. Another example is Rainworld. It makes you appreciate survival as an animal and how it's basically non-stop for animals. Everyday you have to go out and forage and avoid predators. There are no breaks. Your constantly in survival mode. Constanst pressure to not die. Your never fully safe. Every win is fleeting. Also makes me think of the first Bioshock. You where originally meant to play as a little girl. That would have been crazy if done well. I think there's a lot of room for devs to convey unique perspectives. You could make a game that convey the perspective of being a woman in a war torn country, ala Berlin during the red invasion. You'de have hide from rapists and bombs and survive somehow. You'de have to adopt a fundamental sense of distrust in order to survive. Not all perspectives and concepts would lend well to gaming though I think.

There is a bunch of hysteria surrounding pedos and it has kind of become the modern version of a witch in how people give it a sort of mythical gravitas. It's uniquely evil. People will react stronger to you being a pedo than if you committed genocide. Don't you think Netanyahu would be out of power now if he raped children instead of bombing them. People prefer that you kill them over raping them. -
