Rant 

Man, I never thought a discussion about video games would drive me to anger?

For context, it was about feeling wrong about indulging in the suffering of actual people. I read that and thought "Yeah, I totally... get that." I guess the funny part is that I thought of it in an economic sense. I consider it wrong to create movies or video games about horrible tragedies (especially recent ones).

Two examples that come to mind is that Seal Team Six movie, and the movie that was about Pearl Harbor. I consider both of those things as relatively recent.

I don't really CONSIDER the death of a terrorist group leader to be a tragedy, but you still shouldn't have the thought process of "Okay, I have this idea. How can I make as much money out of this as possible at the expense of historical accuracy".

Rant (conclusion) 

I consider that thought process as disrespectful to those that have died. Worst of all is that I didn't realize it was a pet peeve of mine until like... 10 minutes ago.

I need to go get a drink or something :/
