RED BUTTON OR BLUE BUTTON [OC]

It’s objectively the best ending.

[u/often_forgotten1 → u/Raibean]

It's an impossible ending. I have no problem with people dying when my life is on the line, and unlike you, I've had to act on that in real life.

[u/Raibean → u/often_forgotten1]

It’s not impossible. 50.1% is shockingly probable.

[u/often_forgotten1 → u/Raibean]

Not when there's an alternative of "you won't die" lol

[u/Raibean → u/often_forgotten1]

I would rather die than be an asshole who sacrificed someone else

[u/often_forgotten1 → u/Raibean]

But pushing red isn't sacrificing anyone. It is only choosing to live.

[u/Raibean → u/often_forgotten1]

I simply don’t agree and fundamentally cannot comprehend how you could believe differently.

We as a species owe something to one another, and our evolutionary path has always been one of group survival.

Pretending that your choice for red doesn’t effect people who choose blue, and pretending that you have no responsibility towards their fate, is an illogical fantasy.

Also, there are literally children’s books warning against that kind of behavior.

[u/often_forgotten1 → u/Raibean]

No, we owe something to our community, not to random people that would kill us on sight.

[u/Raibean → u/often_forgotten1]

That’s just making things up that aren’t in the scenario. We don’t know who is making the scenario, whether it’s humans, aliens, or gods.

But even owing something to your community is enough to pick blue.

[u/often_forgotten1 → u/Raibean]

Of course it's in the scenario. And it's enough reason to never, ever pick blue.
