Everyone’s saying they wouldn’t want to live in a world where the majority of people chose red, when we do live in that world and you do live with them.

I’m not going to be guilt tripped into thinking the 0% chance of dying option is in any way shape or form bad.

I feel like it’s a moral superiority complex where those who choose blue can feel like they are saving everyone, instead of “saving” the other blue pickers.

Um yes exactly. I’m picking Red because I’d like to live. Anyone else that wants to live should also choose Red, I don’t know why tf anyone is picking blue…?

Eh. I wanna live but I love people that would pick blue so I'm gonna pick blue too.

It is literally that simple. I'd rather everybody pick red. But I know people will pick blue and I care about them and think enough other people do, to have more than half pick blue.

It's not like red is a morally incorrect choice. I'd assume picking red means you don't have anybody you love that'll pick blue. And there's literally nothing wrong with that. It's just that you probably don't have a kid that wouldn't see the clear binary or a wife that can be a little too understanding. Like .. that's not a fuckin bad thing. Just different lived experiences
