I never worry about the few Simmers who kill Sims for fun as in burn up an entire room of them. But sometimes, vampires have to die so yes, I have burned an entire kitchen down when they were all in there. My visiting Sim was a vampire hunter so you know, it had to be done. :D Especially after he learned everyone in that house was a blood sucker.
I'd be more concerned with the ones who create 'real people' and then torture them in their game. I can't ever bring myself to actually build my neighbor, my family, myself. Playing self is jus way too weird for me. Go figure. ETA: in fact to me building someone you don't like in real life then torturing them in your game is way beyond what anyone does who burns down or starves a pixel.
ETA: Number one rule when playing Sims..they aren't real. Playing self or creating self is more disturbing to me than anything anyone does others consider mean. Clarity. Projecting yourself into a game instead of playing a character outside yourself is more disturbing.
Yep - I technically hear someone is a simmer and my head automatically puts them in the "safe person" zone for some odd reason. Of course I am not the best judge of people in general - at least according to my mother anyway - but then my mother's opinions of my friends over the years are highly skewered. She's a snob sad to say and not really my own kind of person anyway - as I actually do not like snobs. But mom scowls at many of my friends, acts like creative people - artists, musicians, etc are dirt - tells you what she thinks of me. She hated my hubby - he was a drummer for many years - LOL. But anyway - just someone saying they are a simmer really does seem to set my mind to ease most of the time. Probably going to be the death of me one day then if they are as deviate as that writer insists they are. LOL.
I have read many times in forums how a player put their friend in the game (Sim) and then tortured them. Or they didn't like their mom so they put them in the game, and did bad things in society's view or hated their teacher so they put them in their game to torture them. I try to stay clear of players who actually admit that stuff. I don't even see Sims as people. Maybe I'm the odd ball, I often say 'it' instead of she or they or he when I speak about a Sim. Because to me they are totally not real in any shape or form.
It was funny, I played TSM again yesterday, and one of the traits available says / definition for it was 'they hate people, especially simulated people. Especially when they have to listen to their whining about their silly little simulated life'. LOL Gurus are also sadistic. lol
ETA: I'll add this on my thoughts about pixels and objects. Real or on the screen. There is a robot being built to make you like it. So you will have more empathy for it. It's a freaking machine. I think people get way too sensitive to pixels when society is trying to make me 'like' a robot.
