      Doesn’t that actually absolve them of their shit behavior? It isn’t the same to try and scam grandmas because you want a shinier car than because you’re locked at a basement and beaten up if you don’t make your kidnappers money.

        Sorry, when I said “So that’s fun”, I was being sarcastic

        But that’s kinda what I was trying to get at. You don’t really know if a scammer is being trafficked or not, so casting a wide net that calls all of them human garbage becomes difficult

        Imagine you’re already a slave and then someone curses your mother.

          right. laugh and move on because that’s a childish thing to do?

          also, if I’m a slave, wasting my master’s time making prank calls and not making money will get me beaten.

          Now, you imagine your mother getting cursed.
