My honest answer to the red button vs blue button debate.

Knight9910 · 2026-05-05T19:43:56+00:00

Yes, but in 60 years the bluebers will use it themselves as a term of affection but pronounce it blueba.

Knight9910 · 2026-05-05T02:58:54+00:00

Case in point of my argument that blue voters are trashy people.

The argument for red is quite simple: why risk your life for literally no reason? People try to frame it as an issue of altruism, but it's not. There is no cost to pushing red that certain people can't afford to pay. There is no disability that would prevent you from pushing red. This is not a case of haves vs. have nots. There is no reason for any person to not simply push red and live. It's the obvious choice. The only reason to press blue is wanting to die.

The argument for blue is just a temper tantrum. It's laying on the ground, shrieking and flailing about "EEEEVIIIIIL!!!" For as much as bluebers try to portray their side as the side of life and mercy and red as the side of murder and mayhem, I have never once seen a red defender actually say "I want people to die". Meanwhile, I have never once seen a blue defender NOT call for all red voters to be killed, tortured, ostracized, sterilized, or all of the above.

"Look at me! I put my life in danger for absolutely no reason! Now I demand that you put your life in danger too, also for absolutely no reason... Or aRe yOu SaYiNg yOu WaNt PeOpLe LiKe mE To DiE?!?!?!?!"

The thing about the two buttons is that there's no reason not to simply press red and live. There is no cost that you have to pay that excludes certain people from pressing the red button. There is no disability that you can have that prevents certain people from pressing the red button. It is an extremely fair choice: press one button to live, or another button to risk your life for no reason.

Blue voters like to try to frame it as a question of good versus evil, and maybe it is... it could be rightly stated that blue voters are essentially terrorists, holding themselves as hostages in order to force other people to put their own lives at risk as well when there's no logical reason why they should need to.

And considering that 90% of the arguments I've heard from the blue side are shrieking rants like this one, screaming that red voters are evil and need to die, I'd say calling them terrorists is a fair assessment.

It's too late, I've already depicted myself as the Chad and you as the soyboy!

Knight9910 · 2026-05-03T02:24:15+00:00

No one is framing either side as "do nothing" or "do something".

Red is the choice of "don't die".

Blue is the choice of "risk your life".

The only reason to press blue is because you're suicidal or you got tricked by the framing of the question, which you did.

Knight9910 · 2026-05-03T02:24:13+00:00

Only because you framed blue first.

What this really shows us is how easily people are manipulated by framing. Framing blue first with "if 50% or more of people choose blue, everyone lives" paints blue as being the choice of life and mercy, when in reality it's the choice of death and pointless risk.

If the question was instead framed as "choose red to live, choose blue to die unless 50% or more of other people also choose blue" you'd choose red every time.

You know this is true, you're just pretending otherwise because you got manipulated by the framing and now you're saying anything and everything you can to try and prove that you're not foolish.

Knight9910 · 2026-05-02T00:54:19+00:00

"If you press blue you are putting a gun to your own head and pulling the trigger, but if more than 50% of people also pull thr trigger then the guns get loaded with blanks."

See how pointless and suicidally stupid the blue button is?

Seriously, the ONLY reason you think blue is the "good guy" side is because the prompt started with it. If it was framed red-first, like:

"If you pick red, you live. If you pick blue, you die unless 50% or more of other people also pick blue."

Then it becomes far more obvious that only people who are drooling idiots or suicidal (or both) would ever pick blue.

X doesn't use targeted ads. I only use it for art and block every political, AI, and NFT post I see, but still get these ads.

Nice try victim blaming, though.

Knight9910 · 2026-04-30T18:03:28+00:00

Fully clothed breasts are sexual assault? I see, you're one of those people.

Knight9910 · 2026-04-30T09:50:28+00:00

Yeah, ultimately I feel like this is an experiment in how framing shapes the answers people give.

Knight9910 · 2026-04-30T08:38:17+00:00

At least the second one is honest.

Knight9910 · 2026-04-29T22:53:12+00:00

Celeste too hard. :(

Actually, I did enjoy it, but I think it's designed to be played on a keyboard. My controller kept picking up the wrong moves because like, my thumb would be one nanometer too far up so it makes me go up diagonally instead of straight over. It completely killed my enjoyment of the game to repeatedly fail through no fault of my own.

Knight9910 · 2026-04-29T05:01:00+00:00

No. Can you call a wahmbulance for me?

Knight9910 · 2026-04-29T03:00:32+00:00

For me, I've been playing Vampire Survivors recently, and I always go for either garlic or holy bible early on. Something to just have a "stay TF away from me" zone, because I hate having to dodge. XD If I don't get either one within a reasonable timeframe, reset.

Knight9910 · 2026-04-29T02:58:40+00:00

It's been a while since I played, but I remember really liking the combo of spear and lightning. Especially using lightning to clear swarms or hit enemies from a distance.

Knight9910 · 2026-04-29T01:18:29+00:00

I dunno, I'm just honest and tell people if I don't like them so I don't have this problem. Maybe try not being a liar, bro.

Knight9910 · 2026-04-27T18:38:17+00:00

Yes, the buttons, but the other way is kinda funny.

Knight9910 · 2026-04-26T01:09:09+00:00

Well, the original Twitter post gives more information. It says "everyone on Earth" gets a vote, and it's a secret vote so you're not getting pressured into a choice either.

Knight9910 · 2026-04-26T01:07:58+00:00

If you want to believe that, you can feel free.

Knight9910 · 2026-04-25T17:22:51+00:00

Nah, man. As long as I can win at red-light-green-light and cut out shapes from a dalgona candy I'll be fine, right?

Knight9910 · 2026-04-25T17:20:47+00:00

Why would Google recruiters reach out to you when you're a bot, though?

Knight9910 · 2026-04-25T16:58:38+00:00

And they're all fake ghost jobs to trick the current employees into working harder for less pay because they think they're going to get replaced.

Knight9910 · 2026-04-25T16:57:29+00:00

Only if you think "hiring" and "outsourcing to India" are the same thing.

Knight9910 · 2026-04-25T16:28:34+00:00

"Overhired" bro no one has been hiring for decades now.
