    @dm29 @verge Did you mean to say "unethical" or "ethical"?

    Many things are much more ethical to consume than others. That's why consumer choice based on a set of values and being informed matters.

    @jaredwhite @verge in my opinion nothing can be unethical to consume. Granted the viewer understands the implications and context of the content.

      @verge Betcha they just made it even more overtly eugenicist and classist. That still image looks like some Ayn Rand "behold the glory of the empire" bullshit.

        @dm29 @jaredwhite @verge I still think you're not realizing your mistake. Like how is, for example, consuming CP not unethical? Are you sure you don't mean "nothing can be ethical," if the viewer understands the implications?

            @verge

            "There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

            J.K. Rowling has made it abundantly clear that she will continue using her fortune to harm [transgender] people." (typo in lede)

            I can only hope that HBO pays the cast and crew, sees each episode downloaded once, and everyone else just shares that copy.

            It's not legal nor ethical, though perhaps somewhat less unethical.

                @dm29 @jaredwhite @verge You didn't specify that. You said no consumption could be unethical.

                          @dm29 @jaredwhite @verge even if we're limiting it to public, commercial content, how can nothing be unethical? Propaganda? Fake news? Plagiarism? Exploitation?

                            @dm29 @jaredwhite @verge But beyond the scope of the verge article on a particular series where the person profiting from it is using those profits to target other people and hurt them. So if you give money to that then you are choosing to hurt those people. Personally I find that unethical. But you claim there is no unethical consumption. But I guess I have a more developed sense of ethics.

                                      @koh_kun @jaredwhite @verge because in my opinion people should not be so overly literal. There's always the context. Now it's explained anyway

                                        @dm29 @jaredwhite @verge Just to be clear -- would child pornography be unethical to consume? Nazi literature? I'm not talking about the latter from a scholarly perspective or something, I mean "consuming" The Eternal Jew for its own sake.
