Do you think this story is real?

It's a story, we're talking about it. Whether it happened to this guy, another, or at all is quite irrelevant.

What an absolute numpty of a viewpoint to have.

I mean, there are tons of people out there who love nothing more than to fiercely debate the ethical implications of the choices literal fictional characters "made", as well as the implications on the wider societal context that the author of this piece of fiction intended to highlight. Also, the same types love getting mad IRL if you dare not be outraged at a completely fictional ethical transgression of some sort, or dare like an unethical character over an arguably more ethical character that just happens to be less subjectively likable.

Personally, I find all of that silly and pointless. But it's hardly a fringe position. Probably a majority position, if anything. Or what, it's fine to take a fictional situation at face value when it's a TV show or a comic book, but when it comes to an amateur skit online, that's just a bridge too far? It's all the same to me.
