• Hey Guest,

    An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.

    Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

Back in the fall of 2021 when Squid Game was first released on Netflix, it became an instant hit and it was all the rage for months. Though I had never seen it, I knew of the premise and thought it was an interesting plot.

Around the turn of the new year, the second season was released, and the hype returned. I found myself with an interest in the series and right before typing this, I had just finished the first episode of the first season, and though I'm usually not one for movies or TV series, I have to say I like it so far.

It made me think, I wish the games were real. I'd sign up in a heartbeat. I'm curious what the rest of you think. Though I feel the series is very well known by now, I don't want to spoil anything just in case.

The premise of Squid Game is that 456 people compete in a series of games, with the winner promised a very large cash prize. However, those who lose are killed.

Squid Game seems to be the quick way to die. But, if you watch the series, it's clear that not even everyone can be so lucky/fortunate to have a quick death. A miss in gunshot can result in some 'unlucky' people got operated vivisected alive for the fresh organ market. Now, that's something I don't want to.

But yeah, I especially do like & even agree with that old man character (Oh Il Nam) in episode 2 of the first season (2021) said when comparing to our real world / real life / reality:

"Now that I'm back out, I realize everything they said is true. It's a worse hell out here." (here means the real world / real life / reality here which we're living everyday)

It's a good series. But no, I wouldn't want to be killed or maimed for sport or to knowingly provide entertainment for rich arseholes. Also bear in mind that later in the games, the whole 'kill or be killed' feeling may push a person- even you to kill others to avoid being killed yourself. So- there's that also- would you want their blood on your hands? Would you want to witness a bunch of people dying horrificly?

I guess it would be ok if you worked out how to get shot in the first game and went quickly but, would SI let you?

I don't want to give away spoilers to you... I'll leave a gap- if you want to skip the next bit. It's not a complete spoiler but, it's suggestive of future episode content...






Also consider- they may not want all clean kills if they have other uses for the bodies...

If I was able to enter into it I would. I know my death would be painful but at least I know I will probably die during it as I am definitely not going to win.

I haven't seen season 2 but from what I remember about season 1 I don't think I would enter because the ways to die seem too painful and the prize money isn't even THAT much for the average Californian. Plus I would very likely fail that application game where the random stranger collects people to play so I likely wouldn't even get to enter. 😔

The premise of squid game is that people don't know beforehand that they have signed up in deadly games. Would be funny spin-off if people knew and only suicidal people sign up that keep running during the green light game. I would participate as most deaths see, to be involved getting shot

When I wrote this thread, I had only seen the first couple episodes. Now through the first season and two episodes into the second, my perspective has changed, even if slightly.

What I had not realized is that like the games were indeed a form of entertainment for, as @Forever Sleep put it, rich arseholes. Indeed, for the final two games, we learn that there are VIPs who are invited to watch in real time and bet on the contestants. Additionally, the Front Man reveals that he does not think highly of the contestants at all, referring to them as "horses" and "trash" among other things.

Despite that knowledge, I feel like I'd still want to compete, given the advantage of knowing what the games are and that losing means death.

Sure, I may be seen as nothing more than a racehorse for rich arseholes to bet on, and my death as nothing more than a brief moment of entertainment for said arseholes, but in the grand scheme of things, aren't we all going to be forgotten by history? Whether I die at the hands of some triangle-masked guard or by my own bullet doesn't really matter.

Tangent over, I guess. Just had to get my thoughts in writing.

Have anyone consider it is a win win win situation?

In all honesty, I would participate. I'm an adrenaline junkie, and I like taking risks. So, having the feeling of "Damn I might die here, I'm getting super close" Is kind of a nice thought to me.

The adrenaline of knowing I will die if I don't pull my weight or make a mistake. Of course if you win and don't die you get a pretty nice pay check for it which isn't a bad thing..
I wouldn't try to die, but if I did then I wouldn't mind. I wouldn't need to worry so much about the future because I wouldn't be thinking at all.

That's how I kind of view it too. I mean if you win then hey... you're no longer a no life to society and it could help bring you change.
Of course if you lose it's not like you had anything to gain as there is no gaurantee you would've died in the next game.

Only if it there were enforceable assurances that the shots would precise enough for quick and peaceful death. If that was part of it I would definitely play.

i absolutely would i think. walk away with the money or die right then and there. the idea of no choice on my end sounds really nice, takes the "do it yourself" part out of it, which imo is the difficult aspect sometimes

I would probably, since i have absolutely no meaning for life. If i would somehow survive the game i would still be able to donate that money to random people that is struggling and still be able to ctb, so i think i would join the game.

I would have to be around too many people, which I don't like. And I like predictability, so not knowing when or how I might die would not be ideal for me. Even as a "staff" person, you would need to be some sort of sadistic monster so can't see me myself doing that either. 🤷‍♂️.
