My writing group loved a prompt I found ethically questionable

I mean, idk, but making a story where cheating is okay just for drama seems wrong to me.

It's wild how often people ignore ethics for the sake of entertainment. You see it in movies and games all the time, right? Why do you think that keeps happening?

Ugh, my buddy quit his gaming guild last month after they kept excusing toxic behavior cause it was "good content." Just gave up trying to reason with them.

Totally get what you're saying, and it makes me think of what amy654 shared about her friend. It feels like a lot of creators and audiences treat real harm as just part of the show, because calling it out isn't as exciting. They chase the big reaction or the viral moment without caring who gets hurt in the process. It keeps happening because that drama gets clicks and money, and some people just stop seeing others as people.

Guess ethics are the boring part before the fun starts.
