you don’t get it mate I don’t like the games ubisoft makes so making fun of someone who burned to death in a freak accident is totally justified
also his ancestors ran from the french revolution over 200 years ago. this is relevant because… uh…….
Comment on Ubisoft Co-Founder Claude Guillemot Dies In Plane Crash

This thread, the comments, and the people who post them, would be fascinating subjects for a sociological-psychological study.

It’s wrong to wish people dead
I had this attitude 20 years ago. I no longer do. I’ve come to realize that there are certain rich fucks who are actively harming humanity directly (Hitler, Kissinger, Reagan, world leaders who send the poor to useless wars). Even the rich fucks that just hoard money are actively robbing from the poor to do so, and some of those people die as a result.
How many people does a person have to kill before they are too far gone to save, and are just evil? How many levels of indirection does it take before they wouldn’t be considered evil? What happens if a person indirectly kills millions of people? Is that still far enough to call them evil?
These are the questions you should ask yourself when you try to plot out your own moral compass.

Ok, so which of those examples was this guy most like? Lol

Meh, I don’t wish death on anyone, but that doesn’t mean I have to be sad that a shitty person died.

Nobody’s criticizing people for being sad.

this isn’t complicated
the social contract basically boils down to, you at a baseline do right by me and in return I do the same for you
assholes like this and other rich fucks try to game this system for profit by literally harming parts of our lives via loopholes
when ass fucks say lets hurt person ‘insert something that has no impact on anything’ like skin color or sexuality that is wrong
when people talk about wishing death on people that are literally fu king with our lives it should obviously not be the same

That pretty much nails my feelings. Charlie Kirk is a huge piece of shit and I’m glad he died honestly. But I’d be a worse person if I made a personality out of mocking him for being dead. Can’t we just take the win? Fate decided a bad person was over. I wish that could be that.
otp@sh.itjust.works 2 hours ago
Charlie Kirk was okay with people dying from gun violence if it meant fewer restrictions on guns. He fought against minority groups’ rights. He was spreading dangerous rhetoric worldwide.
The Ubisoft guy helped found a popular video game company and was probably just a generic rich prick at worst.
The world is better off without Charlie Kirk. I doubt the world, let alone the video game industry, let alone even just Ubisoft, will get any better after today thanks to Guillemot’s death.
There’s a huge difference here.

things that improve the general state of humanity are generally considered good

Wait, why do you hate lemmy for this? I think who you actually hate are humans. Reddit and all the other modern social media platforms have the same issues, because they too have humans.
placebo@lemmy.zip 7 hours ago
I wouldn’t be surprised if many of these people are, in fact, banned on reddit because of this behavior.
early_riser@lemmy.world 8 hours ago
Yes, but this is just the cherry on top of a steaming turd sundae of other issues I have with Lemmy that I won’t rehash again here. It’s not like my complaining will change anything anyway.
Compare these reactions to the Ubisoft subreddit, which granted are going to skew fanward. On /r/games the conversation seems to be mixed, with a few dancing on his grave, most expressing dismay at his death while still acknowledging the harm he did to the company and industry as a whole. Plenty of people are simply discussing the dangers of small aircraft.
Summzashi@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
Lemmy seems waaaay more negative in general though. It’s actually kinda jarring being here sometimes.
Onyxonblack@piefed.social 10 hours ago
Stop hating Lemmy. For me, it’s my way of communicating that I’m a Misanthropic Anti-Natalist. I can do my part to sway the public opinion that humans should all go extinct. I can spread the idea of humans being the monsters, the true enemies of the planet and all it’s life. I can see it slowly taking hold of the world, people coming to terms with our monstrous nature. Someday in the far future, perhaps we all choose to self-terminate. We are not divine nor special, just meat.

Way to skip over all the documented recent reasons people are posting.
simple@piefed.social 10 hours ago
documented recent speculation that we don’t know he was involved with? his brother yves was the ceo at the time of all this drama. Claude was just a stakeholder.
mushroommunk@lemmy.today 10 hours ago
Claude was a director and deputy CEO. He was on the board. He was directly involved in the technical and business management side for years. Calling him just a stakeholder undercuts his own opinion on what he did at Ubisoft as he expressed in a few interviews himself throughout the years.
Just because you didn’t know who he was doesn’t mean the rest of us didn’t. Yes Yves was the face and CEO, and thus the person directly named in the lawsuit because that’s how it works, but Claude was often cited as the quiet force behind Yves anchoring him, serving as operations officer, advisor, and other titles over time.

How do those boots taste?
Fuck billionaires and fuck nobility. Trying to tone police everyone else doesn’t hide the harm that they’ve done to society. Would you do the same if Putin was assassinated tomorrow and lead to the end of the Russia’s invasion of Ukraine?
rtxn@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
The fact that you would equate the invasion of a sovereign nation and war crimes committed against civilians bordering on genocide with making bad games with bad monetization shows that you don’t possess the moral integrity and intelligence of a well-adjusted adult. Have a horrible day.
some_random_nick@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
Please don’t downplay the harmful pracrices those leaders/executives have on teens and children. They are actively exploting them for money. Just because the harm isn’t immediately visible, doesn’t mean it won’t have lasting effects.
mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 5 hours ago
The other is making games with bad monetization and bad business practices.
You’re horribly underplaying what the Guillermot family has done as the heads of Ubisoft. There’s plenty of articles that have come out about how they’re actively (and illegally) suppressing unionization in Ubisoft. They’re also actively lobbying to prevent regulation in the US and Europe.
But of course you didn’t include that because it doesn’t support your argument. Just shut up you intellectually and morally bankrupt bootlicker

yea i’m always amazed at the amount of dick riding random people with 2dollars to their name will do for rich people that literally wouldn’t spit on them to put them out if they were on fire
but none of this new and the studies already exist
i much prefer the colloquial ‘temporary embarrassed millionaires’

I think scientists started that study but most of the team committed suicide. A study to find out why they killed themselves is not yet underway.
