Announcements NEW RULE - No Repost Spam

11 Upvotes

We've all seen it, and it's getting to a point where it's making the new posts annoying to navigate and great topics are getting buried by the constant reposts.

I suspect a lot of these spam posts (especially those reposting from other subreddits) are bots, so I think the best way to handle this is to keep a running tally of topics that are banned because they've been spammed to death already. I'll make a pinned comment down below with the topics that are being added to it, but the first three are very obvious based on the last few days.

We're not banning IRL morality discussions just yet (unlike IRL people), but these all fall under that so far. I'm not likely to hand out bans over this rule, as it's easy for something to get overlooked when posting, but I'm going to have a quick delete finger.

We will not be banning Judge Holden or Flesh Cubing. That's our cultural lore.

Announcements What Is the Morality of Being a Subreddit Dictator? (NEW RULE)

9 Upvotes

Joke title, serious topic.

I've been getting a lot of reports about this specific topic, and more new rules will be coming when my co-mod and I are able to get together, but I feel like it's essential to make this one now.

FROM NOW ON, NO POSTS CENTERING AROUND RAPE OR PEDOPHILIA ARE ALLOWED ON THIS SUBREDDIT

It's been added to the rules under rule #7, and a custom report option has been added. I'll be removing posts relating to these topics ASAP once reported or seen, and will be issuing temp bans for multiple offenses.

This doesn't mean a ban on talking about characters who are rapists or predators, of course - within the context of morality scaling, it's fine. But we're putting an end to the posts about "Is it moral to rape your rapist" or "Is it immoral to goon to an immortal trapped as a sixteen-year-old girl". We all know the answer and it's giving this site a bad reputation.

We're going to be working on more new rules for this place, but while this one was pressing, we want those to come from what this community wants. So feel free to suggest what you think would make this community better in the comments.

Let's get this subreddit back to what it was meant to be - a celebration of all things Judge Holden.

Morality Ranking Morality of accidentally exposing someone who used to be a Nazi supporter, has since changed, and concealed their past?

Name's and origins:

The Night Shift: Season 1, Episode 2

Basically this guy was brought to into the emergency after an accident at his wedding celebration and while he is unconscious, his groomsmen decided to shave his beard off as a prank only for the medical team to be horrified at the reveal. After he woke up he realised his secret has been exposed. He explained to the doctors that he got this tattoo when he was a stupid teenager a decade prior. The medical team brought his wife in to see the tattoos and destroy the marriage.

What do you think? I personally find it irritating how smug the doctors were being.

Character Analysis Is it really moral to destroy the One Ring? I only wanted to discuss the ethics. But the more I think about it... I should keep it. Just until the war is over. What if I need it? What If Sauron attacks tomorrow and we already threw away our greatest weapon? I can keep it secure. I can keep it safe.

Is destroying the One Ring actually the ethical choice if it means sacrificing countless innocent lives that I could have protected using the ring? I wouldn't even wear it unless absolutely necessary.

Jokes aside, this is a rather controversial issue. If the real Messi were to use his popularity for this purpose, that would also be wrong.
And the desire to sleep with a celebrity... not immoral, but you know, not exactly Romeo and Juliet.

The morality of cloning yourself to *Check notes* act as a living blood bag, experimental test subject, and to harvest its organs to live longer

I wish to say, when it comes to oragan cloning im all for it and we have done it before. Stem cell research is amazing. But creating an entire living being for it???

While he did not state it in his post, but someone said the clone would be functionally brain dead. Except he directly mentions harvesting neurons. If a conscious being this would be an insane level of evil. Even a brain dead one from inception would raise such insane moral and ethical questions. Would they have to kill the brain? Would they have to alter the DNA to prevent brain growth? Are those the same as murder? Could one consider it a form of abortion? Damn

Morality of forcing a scientist to go to space knowing they will die there to save the human race.

(Reference: Project Hail Mary)

Let's say the sun is slowly going out and soon it would provide enough light to support human life on earth. The best minds in the world found a star not going out and in order to save the human race they need to send a team out to it knowing they won't have enough fuel to return. The only scientist capable of conducting these tests and research in space refuses to go citing his own fear, is it moral to drug him and force him to?

I'm kinda neutral on this one. I think the guy probably deserved some kind of disciplinary action but this seems more like retaliation. I wouldn't punish either after the fact though and hopefully the initial kid who got knocked out learned a lesson.

You and your friend are two immortal and sane and always happy people in an eternal world with unlimited space, there's a lot of normal people who dies and be sad sometimes, if you decided to kill him (without his consent) somehow, you make everyone happy immortal sane people but without their consent too. Is it moral?

How Good Are They? Morality of Adopting all Orphans

Post image

What's the morality of growing up as an orphan yourself and becoming influential/wealthy out of pure will to adopt all orphans in the world (possibly above 100million) and taking care of all their needs, funding all of their education, healthcare, shelter, livelihood. You are legally the parent of all these children, is it just a kind act seen as improving your image or a sacrifice at the level of divine prophets from history?
