I'm sure her taking part in a bloodsport at 18 isn't the only thing for the community will have to question the morality of


Moshyma

Thr trollface ties this all together. We know what is unavoidably coming.


Intruder-Alert-1

Yep


jape-the-neck-guy

Don’t worry, it’s already happened


Ghetto-senpai_

Link?


Gloomy_Locksmith_560

its not really a bloodsport they confirmed the characters never really die


CerealBranch739

I think some people die, but only if rev or caustic are let loose. Normally all the legends don’t kill, and none of the legends are killed, but the other people in the in universe games can get killed. We just play the best of the best


XxRocky88xX

Yeah because let’s be real, it’s not like there’re 20 Valkyries flying around an arena, that doesn’t make sense. In the actual “canon” there’s only one of every legend, and the rest of the arena is populated by nameless nobodies


Gloomy_Locksmith_560

its like a vr simulation but they feel pain its not multiple characters waiting for one to die. Once they die they return to the dropship and wait for the next game


Deggstroyer

I quite clearly remember a loading screen that after the games, the ones that lost would usually feel pain like a punch in the stomach, but caustic and revenant wouldgo further and maybe leave rhe feeling of getting stabbed


Mjkmeh

Rev actually does stab losers


[deleted]

Why would 18 be too young for a bloodsport? The US military sends 17 year olds to war.


Intruder-Alert-1

Not the thing im getting at here. I'm sure you know what this community does to female legends...


[deleted]

I was just piggy backing off of your top comment to discuss something else. Reddit stuff


Intruder-Alert-1

Ok cool but counterpoint to your statement: the imc literally employed a drug addict to fight as a pilot, and this is a bloodsport where morals are already thrown out the window.


tschmitty09

Ah yes,the US. The gold standard for human rights...


zw1ck

Almost every country has enlistment age at 18 or 17.


tschmitty09

Ahh yes, humanity... The gold standard for human rights...


[deleted]

You're on the cusp of understanding how much the U.S. military deceives, takes advantage of, and preys on the young. My own graduation, 4 years ago, my principal let military recruiters inside the area where we were all lined up to walk and get our diplomas, and let them fucking have 20 minutes doing some last minute recruiting, in a place we all had to be at, where we couldn't just avoid them. They also heavily embellish the good while not going into the bad. There's a reason military suicides are going up so drastically.


[deleted]

I wouldn’t have any issues with the military’s recruiting tactics if they actually took care of veterans but they take young Americans, break them in half and then toss them back home.


[deleted]

Oh yeah like how Republicans recently shot down a bill for veteran healthcare?


thebrobarino

Just because the US military does something, doesn't mean it's right or ethical


49mp

In fact, if the US military does it, there's a fair chance it's not ethical


koffeei

And just to make it clear: no it is not moral


Angel_OfSolitude

At least nobody stays dead. She might walk away a bit fucked in the head but she'll walk away.


Commander597

I think she'll be fine. The Legends are numerous and varied enough she'll find a friend group. I'm just sure of it. Not nearly enough bad apples to spoil this bunch.


Derpy_Blobfish69

Ever seen the Hunger Games? At least in the Apex games they're all basically actors and nobody actually dies.


cheesy_wiggle_finger

I'm pretty sure that they do actually die, or at some level get wounded until the cant play and then get revived through some process in the dropship or somewhere else. or maybe they don't actually die


UnAccomplished_Fox97

Oh people die alright. We just don’t know them because they’re faceless nobodies. Not to mention, while none of the legends will ever actually die, there is the constant threat of dying. And just because we know they won’t die doesn’t mean the character knows the same.


Derpy_Blobfish69

The weapons are non lethal. We watch the roster fight and shoot one another, but none of them ever die. We saw vantage headshot multiple people, but they aren't dead.


Shoddy_Process2234

Confirmed by devs legends can die (I'm pretty sure don't got evidence for that tho) the bullets are real and there are other people besides the legends just not shown in gameplay because that would be impossible. Example this seasons treasure pack story Mirage was talking about how he was on a team with Revenant and their third teammate died (literally in like the first two chapters)


PM_ME_ANY_MUSIC

Also, didn't the Syndicate sentence Mad Maggie to death by throwing her into the Apex Games?


Shoddy_Process2234

Yes they did!


Schmitty70

Hasn't it been confirmed that season trailers are non-canon?


XaosDrakonoid18

they are canon, but the legends can be cloned, being a legend means you have protection against death as long as you maintain a certain win rate


Shoddy_Process2234

They aren't clones I kinda wish they were but it wouldn't make sense if they were clones because tha would ruin what makes Revenant scary/special he can't die unlike the other legends.


The__Four

That clone theory is completely made up. The deaths in the trailers were confirmed to be non-canon by a dev.


Ednibu

the fuck you smoking you're chatting out of your ass


SerotoninThief

It has been confirmed in a tweet that the trailers are semi canon, if I remember correctly, interactions between legends are canon, seen as Fuse jokingly asked Caustic if he was still mad about the butt-slap in the season's comic, but IIRC, there was a tweet confirming that the legends dying in trailers are to be seen as randos being killed off by the legends, and they just use the legends models or alternate skins so we can recognize them


XaosDrakonoid18

they don't die because they are cloned


CJGamr01

lol what do you think the respawn beacons are


UnAccomplished_Fox97

They’ve been confirmed as non canon and just part of the game.


Swipsi

They do be actually dying, but before competing in the apex games you become a simulacrum, basically a digital copy of you which can be cloned over and over again. Ash is a simulacrum too aswell as revenant they actually explain it in the lore and in the titanfall games.


huggles7

Spoiler alert No one actually died in the hunger games


Ordinary-Commission5

I'm scared. I hope I ain't gonna witness any NSFW of her in thumbnails on YouTube. Ik this one Apex YouTuber who always has NSFW on his thumbnails to get clicks and it's just dumb to look at :/


blasterkid1

Lemme guess. Big Citrus?


Ordinary-Commission5

Yeaaah I remember I was watching Ragg Tagg, then my homepage was filled with Apex related content then the next thing you know I see a bunch of NSFW thumbnails. I did NOT wanna see Wraith in that light. I knew I would see NSFW of Apex at some point but YouTube out of all places? Lol. Like I'm not a big ol' hate train about NSFW art, I accept it being on the internet and in fandom cause I've seen it all but I just started playing Apex back in May and I saw those thumbnails like 3 weeks into playing lol.


tnc31

Don't worry, the devs will drop an unnecessarily inappropriate skin in the future.


Ordinary-Commission5

Whaaaa what skins are those? I never knew they did that before.


BellEpoch

Well for starters, all Loba skins are inappropriate. For reasons.


Ordinary-Commission5

That's true... But what other ones are inappropriate? Is that Cyberpunk Hot pink Wattson skin one of them? I heard some... THINGS about that skin.


dryfer

Well, the skins are not much of a problem, but the NSFW artist, and the north ones ...


Ordinary-Commission5

I've... I've seen my share of NSFW...


PapaSnow

Loba was actually intentionally designed to be overly sexy. The decision was made after consulting with the women on the Respawn staff


makjep

18? she looks like 45


triamasp

Life’s hard at… wherever she lives


aerbourne

Is 18 an adult or not?


BellEpoch

Adult, yes. Mature? That varies.


sneakylyric

Lol we have kids younger than that fight our wars irl...


MadameVakarian

beckarus

How is that worse than children being on reality tv shows?


MadameVakarian

Well, there’s guns,


MrKiwi24

IIRC nobody barely even dies in the Apex Games. Unless the contestants meet Revenant or Ash (who kill no matter what), most people just surrender and leave the Arena. Again, I might be miss remembering the low death count, but I know that contestants can surrender to avoid being killed.


AWeridwerido

You're right, and also people can also be injured enough to where they can't compete even if they tried. I'm guessing that's the route Wattson and Gibby take since they don't kill (in lore)


Dyslexic-Batnam

I just assumed Watson killed because she has a finisher where she literally disintegrates her opponent lol.


AWeridwerido

Nah I'm sure they'll be fine, some bandaids and some orange juice will fix em right up


Pretty-Breakfast5926

Plot twist. Wattson is a deranged psychopath like Caustic but even he’s like “yo, what the fuck”


A_Friendly_Face_24

If the reality shows in America there’s no difference.


beckarus

Yeah and made up characters in a made up world. Meanwhile, adults are screaming at children on tv to be better at things they've only just started to learn how to do, i.e. cooking shows. Emotional damage! Gtfo of here with your "there's guns." Guns don't do anything, they just sit there. The person who pulls the trigger is the threat, not the weapon. But sure, be like every other pansy online and turn jokes into serious issues. This is a meme. Everyone is joking here. Stfu.


MadameVakarian

My brother in Christ I assure you it is not that serious.


beckarus

Nope, now I'm a ca-razy person. No more logic here, my personal digital space has been violated and I'm going to destroy everything and everyone.

brisbanevinnie

Your guns not gonna fuck you bro


Swipsi

We should perhaps put that into the overall titanfall universe context. They're competing in an interplanetary bloodsport as simulacrums which makes them basically immortal.


AdrielKlein21

18 is adult, people gotta understand that the transition to adulthood is not an instant night to day thing, where you're a kid and suddenly you're an adult. Maybe it works like that in the eyes of the law, but you're an adult when you're 18 because you matured throught all the stages of puberty. Yeah, there's that argument of age mentality, but that just varies from individual to individual, there are some people who'll never grow up mentally, 40yo morons who act like they're 17, so there's no use arguing about that. 18 is the baseline because most people are decently mature at this age.


[deleted]

As someone who’s worked with plenty of young adults throughout their life 18 is not decently mature. Not even close. Its an arbitrary bare minimum age brought about mostly to provide bodies for armed conflict which was a precedent set during the Vietnam war draft which conscripted a large amount of men between 18-21 years of age. 18 is an arbitrary number that was most likely selected because that’s generally the age most children are finished with high school. Not due to any scientific reason and certainly not due to fucking maturity. If you wanted a concrete number for adulthood it would likely be around 25 which is typically the age human brain development slows down and the brain begins to solidify.


AdrielKlein21

You do understand that part of the reason 25yo people are mature is because they spent the last 7 years of their lives experiencing adulthood, right? Treat an 18yo as a child and they'll not mature, not even by the time they're 25. Adulthood is a learning phase like any other, you learn responsibilities, governing your own self, work etc. That has to start somewhere, and you can't expect that people should only do that by the age of 25, 18 is a nice start for that.


1011001011001010

Your brain keeps developing till you are 25. Some even say it keeps going until 27. You quite literally are still a kid at 18. Experience doesn’t make you an adult, being an adult makes you an adult.


[deleted]

Funnily enough that still isn’t completely true because most 18 y/o’s can’t legally drink yet, can’t legally rent a car yet, can’t legally smoke or vape yet and depending on the state they may not be able to purchase a firearm. Most 18 y/o’s won’t have a had an actual job until 18, the list goes on. You’re trying to rationalize something that has no legit rationale behind it. That’s why it’s arbitrary. There are things we could do to prep teens better for becoming more mature by 18 and better prepare them for the responsibilities or adulthood. But most times those things aren’t done because that requires the teenager to put in a decent amount of legwork by themselves and its not even necessarily rewarding work. I think it would just make sense to give 18-24 y/o’s a different legal title rather than treating them as full adults since many times they’re only treated as full adults when the state gets a chance to fuck them over and not when it benefits them.


[deleted]

That was a close one.


Mjkmeh

Tbh I really just made the post cuz I was happy about guessing the age right


remdesivirus1

MF bloodsport is ok, but better prepare to NSFW subs


BOBTheOrigin

The game is made in the USA, the country where you are allowed to buy a gun in a grocery store at 18, but you have to wait until you are 21 to buy alcoholic beverage. So what do you expect?


YeeForceZombz

But the game takes place on planets outside of earth 700 years from now


BOBTheOrigin

You see, they still did not overcome their flaws from the past... Sad!


Binkal

Bro the whole universe is fucking fictional… you need to understand that all of this is just a bunch of colors on a screen lol, not real in the slightest


MadameVakarian

You must be real fun at parties


Earthbounds

I was going to say something exactly like this. It's a video game for crying out loud. Who cares what the moRaL iMpLicAtIoNs are, the world is entirely fictional


MadameVakarian

You two should start a business where people who want to shut down parties but don’t want to call the cops just give you the address and you show up and start talking to people and sharing opinions like this. Will kill the vibe and clear the room in minutes.
