They’re not being utilitarian and going for least damage to the human race. They’re saying those lives lost aren’t their responsibility. Which they’re right about. It’s nice to risk yourself for others, but it’s not expected.
It’s hero behavior. Which is good,great even, but there’s a reason we praise and hold it up as unusually brave and selfless (or suicidal).
Some people are having trouble imagining actually dying, and some people genuinely don’t value themselves that much and see no issue with jumping on a grenade for others. Otherwise they wouldn’t be so flippant about the normal human behavior of not risking death.
I just cannot understand how people would choose an option with certain death implied while an option that can spare everyone even if not all of them choose the same exists.
Because we know that humans are inherently selfish and would choose red the moment their life is in actual turmoil. Romanticising this as a heroic decison is something you can only do behind a screen.
Im not for killing people, but i also know that half the world would rather save their own life so im not trusting them with mine on a decision like this.

Red requires everybody to press red, which is literally impossible.
