I'm still not sure what I want to do, I've heard excellent arguments for both playing and not playing. as of now, I see two clear options 1- play the levels, but make it very explicit that I do not endorse the immoral and felonious actions of certain individuals 2- put the placement in the level index and make it very clear that I am opting out of playing their level specifically, and not hide it. Man, this is hard for me to decide though. So here's the thing. People have noted my stance with Notte Luminosa. I took a very rigit 'death of the author' stance with finishing that hack, and I harbour no regrets. The thing though is that the author.. ultimately didn't really harm anyone. Lying is bad, but then they got turbo-shunned. Nobody got physically harmed, no property was damaged, at worst I got rerouted in my projects. Okay, fine. But the two individual authors (completely seperated by the way, this is two distinct levels by two different authors) *have* cause harm to others, one to a minor. The idea of playing levels made by such people bring me actual discomfort, which is why I'm bringing this up here publicly. Ultimately I'm just a human playing video games, I'm not like a government agency :I still not sure what I want to do, but transparency is best so here's some thoughts. http://www.patreon.com/raocow https://talkhaus.raocow.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=19220
