Image of a distressed-looking person with curly hair in the front window of a trolley, framed by red text that reads "we all know about the trolley problem." The words "trolley problem" appear to be dripping with blood.
Red text that reads "An impossible scenario of life and death: who do you kill? One innocent orphan boy, or a group of wanted criminals?" accompanied by a drawing of split tracks with an orphan boy on the left and a row of criminals on the right. They are all tied with ropes.
Red text that reads "Your elderly grandma? Or a child you don't know?" On the left is a drawing of a curly-haired smiling old woman, and on the right is a black-haired grinning child. Both have a red, dripping hole in the center of their chests.
Red text that reads "we see it when we vote," then a drawing of a bloody hand with a pen above a ballot. The options are "Dr. Evil" and "Cruella D." The red text continues, "when we buy," with a drawing of another bloody hand holding red-stained cash.
A drawing of a woman lying in bed looking up at her hands as they drip with blood, framed by red text that reads "we dream of it in visions of the apocalypse."
A drawing of a person clutching their own hands, once again covered in blood. A red, dripping "X" is on their chest, and their face is splattered with red as well. They look deeply haunted, and they are surrounded by black scribbly shading. "But at some point," the red text reads, "when we are tired of choosing who deserves to be spared, it becomes relevant to ask..."
A red background behind drawings of faceless people in black suits and white ties, only differentiated by head and facial hair. In the foreground is a fist at someone's side, dripping with blood onto doubly carved-in red text that reads, "who is tying people to the tracks?"

wEll aCtUaLly yOu seE aNnON☝️🤓;

tori cannonically cares more than she lets everyone know (sometimes even herself) so i think she would either:

stand near the lever thinking whether to pull it or not that it woul be too late to pull it and the train would kill more people

or that she'd try to trow herself in front of the train to stop it completely

however if you have other opinions feel free to share, because i want to see how other people see tori

(but the michaels one is cannon af)

I have a feeling Tori would solve the trolley problem by running over the rail with just one guy and then reversing the trolley to come back and run it over the rest

and Michael blows up the damn trolley itself instead

What the fuck I am so confused

The biggest issue with the trolley problem in online discourse comes from how it's separated from its twin, the healthy patient organ transplant problem (look I don't actually know what it's called okay). Which has resulted in the trolley problem mutating from something meant to make you question your axioms into something made to be an axiom in of itself.

The trolley problem when it's taught: "as you can see there isn't actually an easy answer to this."

The trolley problem in online discourse: "guys there's actually an easy answer to this. Consider a trolley..."
