In the replies he says like “Never! I would be appalled by such a thing!” but dude why did you even conceive of the idea then?

It's a very dumb idea that's essentially just "what's the most extreme thing you would do for a platinum trophy" which shows a fundamental misunderstanding of abstracted virtual violence, achievement hunting, and video games in general. It's really something.

It seemed like you were saying "Polling questions don't mean anything deeper than the question they ask and definitely don't reveal hosed-up biases or thoughts of the asker", which maybe I misinterpreted.

And the results are depressingly gamerrific:

lol i haven’t even had a console in years and this was my first thought

also if you’re an achievement addict then it literally doesn’t matter what’s happening on screen, you’re just trying to check all of the boxes to make the trophy pop. oh poo poo, I have to sacrifice twenty premature babies to get the Infant Slaughterer costume? guess i gotta grind for a couple more minutes.

I don't know why he made that poll. Maybe he hates minorities. Maybe he's writing a thesis. But if I made a poll "Do you support the death penalty?" (which would be an extremely hosed-up thing if it existed) it wouldn't mean I support it.

On the other hand if you instead wrote a paragraph describing a very specific and weird kind of death penalty for no apparent reason, when a more generic question would work just as well, it would be quite suspect.

It would imply you have a reason to be thinking and asking about the death penalty, though. Which isn't terribly suspicious, since the death penalty is a reasonably common thing to discuss when talking about crime and punishment.

If I made a poll saying "should it be acceptable to kill, cook and eat teenage girls" you would be rightfully suspicious of why I'm even asking regardless of how I would answer that question.

Maybe if Twitter wasn't full of 25-year-old hipsters with 3000 followers posting "I'm gonna eat a child!" at 5 a.m. accompanied by a picture of a kitten someone had photoshopped to look like it had angry eyebrows I'd take this as more seriously indicative of something to do with the poster's persona. :shrug:
