El dilema del jugador
Abstract
Why we are entitled to negative moral judgments when someone is playing games about child pornography, but this is not the case when someone acts as a fictional killer? Some moral standpoint claims that seem wrong uttering moral judgments to someone while the fiction is not transfer to reality by that person. But this is insufficient: even without committing real damage moral awkwardness remains. This paper approaches this topic from another standpoint to normative ethics o cultural relativism. I analyze how emotions adjustment or follow a command are conditions which we use to avoid or prescribe moral judgments.
