The hyper online perception of crime as "silly" and cutesy-coded is a bit wearing. Not because crime is bad or anything, its just a matter of trivializing the table-stakes, and treating anyone making that calculation from a different social position than you as "unserious" in some way. It feels a bit hand-washy. Like okay here is how we are gonna wash our hands and excuse ourselves from explaining or attempting to address the very serious risks people take to survive in a hyper legalized world.
