    Is it weird that I’ve butchered Pals for electric organs and fluids to make concrete but this is the thing that creeps me out?

      Yeah, I don’t really find it that funny.

      I mean, I have no idea who made it. I think it’s entirely possible they did this just as a bit of fun.

      But it runs entirely too close to “ironic” 4chan “Hitler was good actually” posting.

      There isn’t really anything grounding it in the realm of parody, of insincerity, and so it’s kind of indistinguishable from what someone who actually likes this abuse fantasy would do.

      The point is, I had an argument about literally this very subject with someone 2 or 3 weeks ago, and this is extremely vindicating.

      Not to say the game can’t be fun. I believe people when they say they have a good time. It’s not like you have to do this.

        I don’t think there’s actually anything wrong with indulging in a fantasy of abuse (so long as all participants are sane consenting adults, that is), I just find it creepy on a personal level.

          Well, sure.

          It really depends on the kind of engagement the game is getting.

          I don’t expect most people have any real problems, this even is probably ironic, but it does raise an eyebrow.
