Neko_Ali:
Your post comes off as 'Only straight sex counts'. That's why people are being hostile to you. Because you made it a general statement, not specifically related to Pokemon breeding. Remember that other people can't actually read your mind and don't know your intent beyond what you actually type out.

Playing a game does not excuse the player for not being safe or breaking the law. That's on the player. Even in cases where people are not breaking the law but are being disruptive, that's still on the player.

That is doubtless the company's spin. However to my mind ethically that position is at best grossly irresponsible, and morally highly dubious. Obviously you disagree.

--- Quote from: Morituri on 21 Jul 2016, 09:11 ---Then again, this is a game about BREEDING monsters.
So maybe the people who wrote it think it doesn't count unless it produces offspring.
Pokemon Go is a mess. Bulgarian kids have been chasing them in minefields, a couple of people walked off cliffs while looking at their phones instead of where their feet were going, people after Pokestops have done breaking & entering, they've interrupted funerals, there've been car crashes where people were trying to get to monsters that had appeared nearby, the Holocaust Museum has had its lectures & ceremonies interrupted, some cathedral in Boston has continually had problems with people breaking in, a couple of trespassing kids got shot, somebody fired a rifle at a car in Florida where they thought the people inside were drug dealers looking for a stash of dope, (but he was a lousy shot, thank goodness; he only got one of the tires).
This game seems like about fifty lawsuits waiting to happen.

And last week, three guys bumbled into a live fire exercise on NATO's Bergen-Hohne Training Area in the Lüneburger Heide. :psyduck:
(Note that in that training area "live-fire exercise" can include Tanks doing realistic battle drills ...)

Or people could actually take responsibility for their own actions. This is why end user agreements are a book long.

If companies were held liable any time someone did something stupid, dangerous, or illegal while using their products, there would be damned few companies left making things.
