disscussion The survivors questionable morals

[Waoling]

I want to know people's opinions on the survivors' questionable morals.

What do you think do they deserve to be in the constant?

[jan Mele]

"None" option for the first and last questions pls

And "maybe" for the second question

[Waoling]

@jan Mele can you justify murdering humanoid creatures and destroying the environment?

They are people too even if they are useless, we humans have done far worse things than just being useless, and also the environment needs protection from Woodie and Wolfgang.

Did I say that killing humans is always wrong?

No, but you shouldn't kill any being with an intelligence of a human being, and it's also wrong to eat them.

Why tho? What if they died because of something else? What is wrong with this?

This topic seems to be heading in a dangerous direction.

I'd call most of the survivors morally grey. However Wanda is a time addict and isn't willing to stop anytime soon. Maxwell has done a lot of messed up things and Willow is literally a arsonist, she has killed people. 

About the treatment of humanoid animals. If this wasn't a game I would find killing them revealing of someone's true nature. But since this is a game I have a hard time looking at pigmen and Bunnymen more then even a animal.

It's like eating a human corpse that was kill by animals or natural disasters, you not techniquelly the killer, but it still be wrong.

Also you wear pig butt on your head like that one horror movie about cacannibal.

I want to ask you one final question do you actually belive all of that?

I'm still not sure. Killing pigmen for a bit of armour is probs wrong, but I don't think that killing is always wrong.

I do think cannibalism is okay.

To be honest, most of the survivors are *survivors*. Morality is often thrown out the window when it comes to survival.

winona is one of the good, but more grey, and even more so if charlie is physicaly close

I think the survivors have moral standrad, after all they don't kill Pearl and help Wagstaff.

Someone has to ask this question does anyone ever make threads like me?

It's kinda like you killing the alien with less but still human intelligence for meat, armor and comfort and that just wrong.

yes

Why is Wendy worse than Willow tho? Why is Wurt better than Wilba?

[CaptainChaotica]

My takes on all of this: 

I think they're all moral shades of gray, but some are darker or lighter than others.

Cannibalism IF there's no other food AND you didn't kill the person yourself AND if there's no family members of the dead person around to say how they want the body treated, would be gross but morally okay I guess.  (I've played actual Don't Starve runs like this:  "I can't kill, but if it's already on the ground it's fair game!") But, watch out for prion diseases.

Killing intelligent creatures is not okay, unless it's in self/others' defense.  I was raised with sci-fi and fantasy all my life, so I am VERY used to the idea that the concept "person" does NOT necessarily also mean "human".  (I rarely do that even in Don't Starve--most of my pigskins come from touchstones and random heads in the swamp.)  Or if the person in question is so evil/dangerous, leaving them alive (or free) would definitely endanger others.  If they attack me or a companion, however, they're fair game.

Last but not least, now I'm thinking it might be kinda fun to pretend to be one of the characters and take one of those D&D Alignment Quizzes "as" the character you chose, and see what you get.  Heh.

because wendy honestly puts the team more into risk then being helpfull, while willow is somewhat more controlerable, thanks to wilson, wurt is better then wilbar because wurt actualy trys to be helpful to make the merms not so aggresive towards the others if they get to close to there houses, while pigs are just pigs
