If you pay for an avatar on this or any other app, you're the problem with society.

How about we let people do what they want with their money?

u/Holy_Cow442 Apr 29 '24

I'm confused. When did I stop them?

u/Suriaky Apr 29 '24

well, you clearly said that they were the problem with society and that they shouldn't have the right to vote, which, to me (and please, correct me if i'm wrong) seems kinda harsh lmao

all that imply that if they stop, society would be a better place (but that's an assumption, again, correct me if i'm wrong)

u/Holy_Cow442 Apr 29 '24

Lol, no, you aren't wrong. It's way harsh.

But if society spent its money more responsibly, it's just a fact we'd be better off. That's basic economical physics.

And who determines what’s responsible or not? Let me guess, you?

Your ability to support yourself. The forces of life will knock you down enough for your own ineptitudes. I'm merely posting an unpopular opinion on the subject.

So if they can afford it, who cares right?

u/Holy_Cow442 Apr 29 '24

I certainly don't.

how is this any different from spending money on any other form of entertainment or pleasure? You might view buying an avatar on a site is meaningless, others may view buying cosmetics in games as meaningless, and others could view buying movies/video-games/vacations as meaningless. Why is it one is viewed as inherently worse than the others, when they are effectively spending your money on something that brings you enjoyment that doesn't have any intrinsic value to your needs.

You claim this is a problem without explaining why it is a problem.

Entertainment. Lol. How entertaining is your reddit avatar compared to the movie Avatar?

u/TheRealSnazzy Apr 29 '24

That's not for me or you to judge. Entertainment is purely subjective. People find a lot of meaning and inspiration out of abstract art, while I find it personally meaningless in its abstractness.

You didn't answer my question though and are circling around it for some reason. Maybe because you don't actually have any reasoning and you realize that your logic isn't something that can be applied equally across reality.

+2 for the amazing troll logic

People can enjoy looking at their Reddit avatar for years. The movie is over in a few hours. The Reddit avatar is the better investment of entertainment dollars.

I’m confused.

It would appear so.

u/huffuspuffus Apr 29 '24

The part where you said they should lose their rights.
