My favorite part about my Dark Urge playthrough is that they often phrase the option as something like, “think about hurting the cat,” and that cat was just a dick to me so while I’d never actually hurt the cat, I can certainly think- oops, I just fucking tortured and murdered that cat.
I had this discussion with my wife a few weeks ago. She did that to a work colleague who took offense to it. I explained that that’s because her colleague is about 8 years younger than us.
Basically, if the recipient is 35 and under, it’s offensive. If they’re 40 and older, it’s not. Anywhere in between, look for context.
