I feel that the reason for how many people have this view is rooted in the overall way that society tends to behave towards the stupid and vulnerable. It's their fault for being stupid, for being weak, for being lesser, so if you abuse them for you own gain then you did nothing wrong, you are just a smart entrepreneur making money where he sees the opportunity to do so.Lol it's the whole "scammers aren't bad people, they just make use of a market of stupid people" - which is ridiculous.
While individualism is positive for society as a whole, rampant individualism where the success of the individual, regardless of its cost, is glorified ends up being damaging in the long run.
While I would agree that both of these are rooted in the same place, I feel like the difference in magnitude between scamming people that drop their money on things that get their dick hard and vulnerable old people, who may barely have enough money to feed themselves, warrants them to be treated with a different level of severity.Even if the fans are sweaty hornybois, then I personally think there's no difference between lying and deceiving them, or deceiving an old lady - it requires the same sociopathic lack of morals and malicious intentions (to benefit themselves).
No one is crying over this matter, I am just pointing out the fact that your argument is incorrect.In my opinion, you should never cry over the stupid because you'll be doing it all day
My point is that your original comment seems to praise him for being a savvy businessman, when exploitation is quite literally a sign that the person in question cannot do business based on their own merits. This stance towards people exploiting idiots is not limited to just games, it is an ideology that creeps in everywhere and can evolve into something terrible.Their still choosing to support, even though he taking advantage of them, it's still their choice to do it so their still at fault to a degree
