Reply to comment by [deleted] in ‘cruelty-free’ circus replaced animals with holograms by davster39

Who said that? Definitely not that guy you’re replying to.

The guy that clearly implied this model wouldn't last because of how boring he finds holograms ?

Doesn’t mean he likes animals being abused or thinks they should continue doing circuses at all.

Still a pretty plausible interpretation for his message, y'all are being oblivious on purpose.

More like we’re not assuming shit just because it could be something they think. There’s no actual indication they think that at all. If someone describes a rectangle, you wouldn’t assume they mean a square.

The original comment is an indication of that. That's the whole point. But whatever.

My point is that it’s not. But whatever. Nowhere is there an indication that the original thing is better than the current thing, only that the current thing is bad. I’m open to being wrong if you can show me otherwise.

No, just saying no one wants to see holograms of animals. Just shut it down entirely.

I would want to see that. I'm sure millions of others exist like me. Why are you speaking for everyone?

Edit: I'm not trying to be contrarian here, folks. I felt I was responding to a material point in /u/kurt_no-brain's comment. They said "no one wants to see holograms of animals". I interpreted that as them saying that literally and was trying to add the perspective that no, some people would in fact want to see that. I wasn't trying to be malicious or a jerk. I have autism. Remember that not everyone is neurotypical, people.

There is something sort of unsatisfying in paying money to watch holograms do tricks.

More satisfying than paying money to watch abused animals paraded around a convention center.

I'm not saying you have to like it. But why are you trying to say that no one would like it? You don't speak for everyone. Just say you don't like it. You don't have to try to express it as some sort of universal truth that it's innately unsatisfying. What if you're the type of person to appreciate the technological work that went into it? What if that is more than enough for you, and you actually don't find it unsatisfying?

Okay, let me speak for myself. It is enough for me and it isn't sort of unsatisfying to me. I just don't appreciate how people are downvoting people who defend this kind of thing. You don't have to like it, but you don't just get to assign it "unsatisfying" and have that be truth.
