If one labels a thing as a dick move, doesn’t that kinda imply that there’s some element of moral turpitude? Probably not much, but still?
Not necessarily. As I said, it could just be someone being rude/blunt. Something like “She’s my wife now, back off” isn’t immoral, but is kinda dickish due to the way it was delivered.
I dunno, depends whether she’s your sister or not.

That would also depend on whether you’re from Alabama or not, in that case.

Oh, it’s one of those debates, innit?
Well, I’m trying but I fail to see how so.
As I said before, to me, being a dick doesn’t mean anything other than “not being the good guy”, while “being the good guy” doesn’t necessarily mean you’re doing a good or right thing.
It rather means that you, as an individual, decided you should do that based on your own expectancy of that being a good thing.
Then, I believe morality is not individual-based, so It doesn’t interact with personal expectancy.
So it wouldn’t be possible for an individual to be morally correct if everyone else doesn’t agree he is. But it’s perfectly fine for an individual to label something as a dick move according to their own expectancy, even if everyone else doesn’t agree with him.
Most people on earth don’t even play video games, and less even know GGG or EHG exist. So it’s really hard to me seeing this whole thing as a moral issue, if it really only affects an abysmal low % of the humanity.
(god help me and Kulze doesn’t reply to me on this one hahahah)

This I kinda disagree with. Surely the definition of “being the good guy” is that you’re, in the moment of being the good guy, doing the right/good thing. Whether that right/good thing is defined as such by an external moral system or your own only matters to the person applying the good/bad guy status?
So do you believe that there can be an objective moral system? And that all moral systems aren’t necessarily subjective?
Just because a large group of people don’t know a thing happens doesn’t mean that that thing can’t have moral shades. If I murdered someone & the crime was never discovered, that wouldn’t prevent it from being a “bad” thing (assuming that the victim wasn’t a bad person themselves or something).

This I disagree with completely. If you decide to kick a baby, it affects only a very very small part of humanity but almost everyone can agree that it’s immoral.
Morality isn’t defined by humanity as a whole but rather by the community you live in. Which is why some things are considered immoral by some communities (communities can simply mean your building, your town or even your country) and not by others.
And, unlike what you said, morality is extremely individual-based. Each person has their own morality code and a community defines it by the majority (or even just by the “law of the strong”, meaning who is in charge gets to dictate it).
Which is why it’s moral to eat beef in most countries but is immoral to eat it in India.
Because we are discussing something seriously, we need to use clear terms, otherwise it’s not a discussion. But when you are joking about something, you don’t have to. I’m surprised you need it to be clarified, probably you pissed off and just looking for any excuse to attack me.
