What are the opinions you’ve heard from people you’ve met in real life? I know the internet seems to have consensus, but the internet is not always representative of the real world.

What are the opinions of Luigi in your:

Family? Relatives? Friends? Coworkers/Classmates? People in your area?


I don’t really want to discuss this IRL since I’m a bit paranoid of mass surveillance and getting my voice recorded saying anything anti-establishment could put a target on my back, especially with the incoming US administration, so I’d rather not. (I know, I’m paranoid)

(Edit: Also, I don’t want a future employer somehow getting a recording of me glorifying a CEO’s death)

The only people IRL I’ve heard from are my parents who basically read propaganda from Wechat that just portrays Luigi as some crazy person, but, then again, my parents are also Pro-CCP idiots and hates Democrats for the “migrant crisis”, so that seems to be a trend for their beliefs: just parotting what Wechat says.

    I don’t think most people could smile while they planned to kill anyone

    That’s ridiculous. Plenty of people smile while bringing a live turkey back home from a farmer’s market the day before Thanksgiving.

    Anyone can become okay with killing if they’re trained to see the target as undeserving of life. Sometimes it’s because they see the target as less than human. Sometimes it’s because they see the target as evil. But anyone can smile while taking a life if they think they have a good reason.

      I’ve never heard of anyone getting a live turkey in the US. Where do you live where people do that?

        THANKSGIVING LIVE TURKEY (PICK UP ONLY)

        COME AND PICK UP YOUR OWN THANKSGIVING TURKEY AT OUR HATCHERY. THIS IS FOR A MALE HERITAGE BREED OF TURKEY SUCH AS THE BOURBON RED TURKEYS. If you have not had one of those turkeys in the past, you are in for a treat. These are nothing like the store-bought turkeys. These turkeys are slow growing and taste so much better than any store bought turkey.

        Guess it happens less often in the city these days. Drag thought everyone knew about it.
