I still remember that time I criticized the abuse of Mortal Kombat game development employees and was told that I was being basically that, mean-spirited, to one user that contended that game development employees have such cushy jobs that it should not matter if they’re exposed to gore and snuff videos as a mandate to keep their jobs making Mortal Kombat because they could supposedly easily find work somewhere else, and that gore/death “fidelity” was that important for his treats that he was fine with the workers being traumatized (by their own accounts, including needing therapy) to maintain that “fidelity.” When I said coerced worker abuse is still abuse and that the “fidelity” imperative of Mortal Kombat’s fatalities (which I haven’t actually liked ever since the comic book like violence turned to edgy “realism” in later installments myself) was a terrible justification for such abuse, I was told (cw: suicide, gore)
