I guess I like roleplaying characters with a … limited circle of concern? Think nationalist or speciesist or just straight up selfish. I find it really satisfying to openly engage in those modes of reasoning because I feel like they’re there in the back of my head all the time and it takes effort to ignore them and think about what the actual right thing is.
I can think of one character I’ve LARPed who was actually morally in the right–it was an Omelas-inspired setting and my character was the one who ran the machinery to convert torture into utopia. Though now that I think about it, the fun part wasn’t doing the right thing, it was roleplaying my callous indifference to (justified imo!) suffering. I guess it’s just fun to be a bad person for a few hours.
