well you see. the trolley problem is a set of arbitrary rules forced upon you. the point isn't to simulate reality. its to make you confront the idea of taking a life. its to make you take the time to think about what that would mean. what it would be like. you cant take revenge because no one placed them on the tracks. they just are on the tracks. they were never anywhere else.

#and the point of my dumb ass quiz here is to point out the insanity inherent to the question #you will never be confronted with a trolley problem in real life because real life has more options #but you should take the time to think about violence and what it means and what it would do to you to take a life #because violence is both an abhorrent thing and an important tool #once you take life you cannot give it back #ive always deeply hated the trolley question bc there was no third option #but thats the point and thus in my remaster all the answers lead to death #vriska killed like a lot of people #dont get me wrong i love her and forgive her and understand her better than most #there is no correct answer there is no answer which avoids death #but i did not communicate that effectively so everyone is voting vriska #maybe theres something poetic about everyone clicking vriska thinking its a solution #like haha gottem we did it we solved the trolley problem #ill just click vriska then no one will die #clicking vriska is actually the same as clicking 2 because you are choosing not to confront the problem #vriska will solve everything surely #really glad i resisted the urge to put vanilla essence in here #hashtag blogging with aggy
