Surely the basis for not being evil, is to not do bad things to other people by the command of your conscience?
I understand that the majority of the offenders are likely children, and I hope that most of them will remember themselves doing this with feelings of shame for a very long time, because these sort of acts are not merely pranks. They may affect their targets in seriously negative ways.
- gosu 14y agoI was just trying to give interesting details, not so much to excuse or accuse. I just meant that, from the tone of discussion and my general impression of the people, that's how I assume that they wound up there. I imagine that it also has to do with amateur porn (not all of which is obviously released with consent) and reality TV making voyeurism a familiar thing. I guess I mostly think of them as dumb and immoral, but I do think that it's evil to have those kinds of interactions with people. I don't understand why people consented to holding up signs that said "pwned by...." - to me, that looks like bullying. Actually, I guess I do kind of understand. I got prank called regularly on high school, and that felt pretty terrible. But I tried to along with it in the hope of defusing it amicably, and it took me a long time to admit that I was a victim and go to a third party to make it stop (the equivalent here would be to reinstall windows).
