so many people have constructed magical beliefs about turning 18. everyone loves the idea that 18 years old is exactly when everyone becomes an adult because it gives you easy answers to a bunch of thorny questions about statutory rape and grooming but it simply does not line up with reality. there is no special significance to "being alive for 18 years" that makes people adults who are able to have healthy balanced relationships with other adults. there is not a discrete cutoff after which a person is "ready" to date adults, or have sex, or anything else. it's all contextual, it's all individual, it's all culturally defined. instead of trying to simplify your ethics down to mathematical equations and numerical constants, consider using your brain!

the idea that if you show a 17 year old your boobs it's an Evil Unforgivable Sex Crime but if you show an 18 year old your boobs it's just normal intimacy between adults is patently absurd on its face, and yet a huge amount of people take it as an unassailable fact when constructing ontologies of "good" and "bad" sex acts!

i sometimes think about the people who will go “please buy indie games” or “go unionize” as if that will console the people who just got laid off.

and it makes me think these kinds of platitudes are just meant to help folks cope with the fact fans, journalists, and commentators don’t have any power against capital. they need to say something positive, something nice.

but i guess when all you have is stuff like this, it just feels like you’re telling yourself that you are trying to be an ethical consumer. nothing that helpful to the worker who lost everything.

of course, nobody likes to feel powerless and everybody hates the fact that all they can likely do is boost the workers’ portfolios and donate to fundraisers. but i do think it’s better to accept the grim reality that Capitalism is violent than say, “I’m gonna buy an indie game this time round.”

it’s okay to feel glum. there’s just no sugarcoating it. you can buy indie games if you wish, but don’t do it out of an obligation to “help” displaced workers. the worst case scenario has already happened, all we can do is watch out for each other and help out as much as we can.
