Comment on If Thanos had, instead of randomly wiping out 50% of all living things, he had instead in each species wiped out only the dumbest 50% what would the reaction of each avenger have been?

  And I'm sick of living in a world where thought experiments are used to casually label people as dumb, disposable, but they're ok because they mention superheroes and that makes the whole thing outlandish. Until the atrocities occur, again and then it's "why didn't someone do something sooner?".

    OP didn’t perform a snap. No one irl did.

    You have to be able to discuss hypotheticals if you want to know what kind of person you are.

    The fact that this hypothetical makes you uncomfortable is ok, it just means you have compassion and that’s valid.
