Bit of a niche one, but on the current Ghost tour, all phones are banned. Someone managed to sneak in a cassette recorder to one of the shows, and recorded the whole thing on cassette. Cue the fandom going mad because the person ‘disrespected the artist’s wishes for a phone-free show.’
The recorder pointed out that they were still technically phone-free, as they used a cassette recorder hidden under their shirt.
I have no problems with this for two reasons.
I was lucky enough to go to one of the tour dates, but a LOT of people were not. This gives people that weren’t there an option to experience the show.
The artist would have TOTALLY done this when he was younger. Ghost fans who might see this, you KNOW that Tobias grew up on bootlegs.
Most people agree here i think and hope: but some schools punishes the bully victim for standing up for themselves instead of the bully. Some people deserve (and only learn) when they get punched.
Prostitution. Not talking about when it IS actually unethical, like someone being pimped out to pay off some kind of debt for example, but I see zero issue with consenting adults paying for/selling sex
We should be able to challenge people to mutual fist fights whenever we want and have it be legal.
Customer service could use this when dealing with some friggin’ people.
I don’t mean to a Barbarian or anything….I’m all for talking it out with people. Seriously, verbal judo works IF the person is willing to listen to reason. But if they’re a prick who’s clearly just trying to get their way…
Kind of a future thing, but any scientific treatments to reduce or eliminate diseases before they can happen, like gene editing. Like, if you could prevent your child from getting Down Syndrome through gene editing. Some people say that would be eugenics or genocide of disabled people, but I disagree. If you can guarantee a healthy baby, you should.
Much like a pet, if my wife is getting to the point of she can’t do anything, she becomes a shell of a person, then I should be able to euthanize them. It is cruel to the person directly affected by it, and cruel to everyone around them.
When I was a child my pop pop forgot how to eat and talk, forgot his family, and died after like in 8 years of hell. It messed with my mom because she couldn’t talk with her dad and just watched him deteriorate.
Humans already play god, why can’t we play god and determine when is a good time to euthanize? Either put me down humanely or the moment I start shitting my pants because I forgot what a bowel movement feels like I’m going to manage to eat a bullet.
Disagreeing with someone’s cultural practices. Not saying you should make them feel like shit or actively stop them or whatever, but it’s okay to say “I understand that that’s your culture, but I don’t agree with it and think it’s unethical”
Being “rude” in a lot of ways, such as being honest about your discomfort with someone, or telling a stranger when they’re behaving inconsiderately in a public place, etc.
I personally love it when people do me this service, and I learn from it.
Basically any victimless crime including piracy of something you had no chance of ever purchasing or that I already purchased for one platform, but want to utilize on another one as well.
Those backpack leashes on children. Kid can explore and parent doesn’t have to worry about people snatching them if they turned their back for a second.
Piracy, especially if you’re from third world/developing places. Nobody gives a fuck about us, why should we pay to get one of the few things that can amenize life for us, which is entertainment?
Having indoor cats. Outdoor cat people have called me abusive for having an indoor cat, because “cats shouldn’t be inside and need enrichment”. Yeah ok. Nevermind the fact indoor cats live double the amount of time compared to outdoor cats. Who’s the neglectful cat owner again? 🙄 Plus I hate the idea that being outside is the only kind of enrichment that exists for cats… but even if it was true you can walk them on a leash or catio anyway if you really want so they can go outside safely and not be in harms way.
At work if someone loses a charger for their iPad/laptop we are supposed to make them replace it. However if it was an accident or something out of their control happened we do not. I just tell everyone when writing the report to phrase it as an accident. Some co-workers think this is horrible of me to do but I don’t give a shit.
Honestly? GMOs. Especially crops that have been engineered to have higher yields and grow in environments currently too harsh for most crops to survive in, let alone grow in great abundance.
Or mosquitoes that have been modified to have shorter lifespans and therefore limit how malaria-causing microbes within them can develop; effectively reducing the death rate of one of the planet’s biggest killers just now.
Like I get the concern surrounding GMOs and how they can go wrong (Jurassic Park is essentially an allegory of abusing the technology behind GMOs for capitalist gain), but all we really need to mitigate those issues is proper laws and legislations to make sure the technology is used responsibly.
I’ve had several people tell me it’s not ethical to job hop. Like, I should stay with any given company for a minimum of 3 years.
Fuck that. Any company on the planet would sell your organs if it were legal and profitable. Anyone can be fired at a moment’s notice.
If I can give myself a 10% raise to take a new job, I owe it to my family’s future to do that.
edit: In response to a few messages I’ve received: I’d be more than happy to stay at a single company for the rest of my life, if their salary bumps were in line with the market and my growing skill level. I’ve never worked anywhere, ever, that did more than 1% above inflation, and they expected you to be damned near obsequious with gratitude over it. Meanwhile every new job I’ve ever taken was a minimum 10% raise.
Yeah, sometimes violence is the answer. Sayings like “turn the other cheek” have been bastardized of their original meaning. I’m not saying go around causing chaos for every little thing, but I can’t help rolling my eyes when people say “violence is never the answer”, because honestly, there are times it’s the only thing that gets results.
Age appropriate and research based education on sex, sexuality, and gender in schools.
Too many people see these as belief based topics, but there is a lot of scientific research on them. Many parents want to pass their (proven inaccurate) beliefs no matter how much evidence there is that they are mistaken. Systems are so worried about catering to this ignorance that kids have to find their way with other often uneducated kids as influences, which causes even more confusion and negative feelings of themselves and/others. Many adults don’t even know the differences between the three topics. It’s a major disservice to societies.
Imagine flat earth parents refusing to allow their children to take science/geography because it is against their beliefs and they don’t want them to hear the scientific evidence that proves them wrong. Imagine the impacts this has on the children when they get to college and parents no longer have a say. How this impacts them in social settings. All to cater to their very inaccurate beliefs and authority as parents. But for some reason, its okay when it comes to sex, gender, and sexuality.
Being in favor of physician assisted suicide legalized in all 50 states. Ever since I saw my grandmother dying in hospice care and there was nothing else to do besides give her morphine for her pain…. it made me be in favor of physician assisted suicide.
Screening calls/not being constantly available just because I’m available. I saw your call come in. No, I’m not busy. Voicemail or text and I’ll get back to you when I get back to you.

Apparently it is unethical to donate your leftover foods from your restaurant chain to the soup kitchen, at least according to the corpos.
If taking extra napkins is wrong, I don’t wanna be right😎
Taking extra napkins or ketchup packets from fast food places.
“Swearing”. The words are bad… because they are bad?
You can call someone a worthless moron that deserves to die, but don’t call them a cunt or you’ve crossed the line.
Not having kids in Asia.
Peeing in the shower 🙂
Euthanasia.

“Right, that’s enough of that. Square up, bitch!”
several minutes later
“Fuck man, coupons are expired! No more!”
I think that the whole “an eye for an eye” thing, is reasonable in some cases.
Like if you want to knowingly beat someone up, you should get beaten up yourself.
I feel like this might get me a ton of hate but I’m willing to entertain any counter-arguments,
But I think it’s fair to openly criticize someone’s religion. If you’re gonna openly believe in something you should be able to back it up.

Gene editing/selection.
Why not remove certain genetic diseases from the gene pool entirely? It would save so much pain and suffering.
Cursing in public, You have the right to baby proof your private home not our communal spaces.
Taking candy from babies. They could choke on it.
Children should be at least 18 months before eating solid candy, and even then they should be supervised to prevent choking.
Killing the ones you love.

Honestly?.. Snooping a bit on someone’s socials before a date. Like… it’s public, it’s safety, and I’m just being smart…
Disagreeing with someone’s cultural practices. Not saying you should make them feel like shit or actively stop them or whatever, but it’s okay to say “I understand that that’s your culture, but I don’t agree with it and think it’s unethical”

Squatting abandoned buildings.
Cutting your parents out of your life

Distancing/Disowning family members.

Public health measures like vaccines and fluoride should be mandatory.
Parents should not be allowed to decide if their children get vaccines.
Honestly? GMOs. Especially crops that have been engineered to have higher yields and grow in environments currently too harsh for most crops to survive in, let alone grow in great abundance.
Or mosquitoes that have been modified to have shorter lifespans and therefore limit how malaria-causing microbes within them can develop; effectively reducing the death rate of one of the planet’s biggest killers just now.

That violence is inherently bad/wrong.
Yeah, sometimes violence is the answer. Sayings like “turn the other cheek” have been bastardized of their original meaning. I’m not saying go around causing chaos for every little thing, but I can’t help rolling my eyes when people say “violence is never the answer”, because honestly, there are times it’s the only thing that gets results.
Dumpster diving (on public property) I did or did not get a lor of cool or not so cool things out of dumpsters. allegedly
Edit: typo, fixed spelling

Lying to people who are prying into your business to shut them up
Having sex with people who aren’t your partner (a.k.a. swinging). If all parties consent, who are we to judge?
Same to be said for prostitution as long as there is full consent.
Open marriages. If both parties truly consent (no persuading!) then why is this anyone else’s business?
Screening calls/not being constantly available just because I’m available. I saw your call come in. No, I’m not busy. Voicemail or text and I’ll get back to you when I get back to you.
Euthanasia. You should be able to go out on your own terms and if you prefer quality over quantity for your life, then that should be your right.
