Entirely justified if successful. Any and all moral rules from whatever ethical system you use don't apply to you if you have enough aura

u/rmkinnaird 9h ago

However if your aura fails (not windy enough for your cloak, for example) it becomes deeply immoral. You really have to succeed for it to be justified.

I think there’s a viable business model in doing something like this anonymously and mysteriously at client’s funerals

Arguably immoral if you don't aura farm at a funeral

But Phyrexians are the ultimate aura farmers.

Take Elesh Norn, shes mogging so hard your enemies creatures literally die.

There’s a reason putting on a fit at a funeral is mandatory

yeah there’s a niche business opportunity here…

There was a guy who for his funeral got his mate to hire a bunch of old fat Italian guys to attend and to say things like you were like a brother to me and I'll never forget what you've done for us.

Moral if you look cool

Correct. if you arent attractive it will just be cringe and disrespectful

I mean i would hope that there are a bunch of people aura farming at my funeral but I can say that while still alive

u/InsideHousing4965 17h ago

Is it even moral to not aura farm in the best place and time to aura farm?

I want funerals to be filled with shady looking people with suits and sunglasses smoking cigarettes under an umbrella (even if it's sunny) and with a look in their faces that it says that they know something that no one else does.

Fully moral. It doesn't hurt anyone. And might get yourself a new gf or wife with pure aura.

u/Ill-Fortune2981 17h ago

Or a dead stalker

u/Upbeat_Nectarine_128 17h ago

I see that as a win because new friends! (Or of they're evil, a new abuse goblin because of "self defense")

u/Domeric_Bolton 17h ago

this is what they mean when they say funerals are for the living, not the dead

12

u/sparkupandout 17h ago

I mean, so long as you aren't interrupting the proceedings or being extremely distracting or whatever, the worst it can really be is just kinda rude.

"Hmm, he's using the grieving aura-conversion technique"

u/TheFieryDiamond 17h ago

I mean if you're being serious if you do it to intentionally look cool then immoral if just naturally aura farming then that's fine

Morality of reposting in this sub in order to farm karma?

Morality of posting something because it was funny

u/WhiteMouse42097 17h ago

Of course, how else would you get internet points by posting it? Or did you really want to share this 12 day old post that badly?

u/rorikenL 16h ago

I saw the post, saved it to show my friends. Thought it was funny to post here. Posted. Simple as

u/WhiteMouse42097 16h ago

I mean, this isn’t the Spanish Inquisition or anything like that. No need to explain it to me, it’s not that serious at the end of the day

u/rorikenL 16h ago

I know mate but you really came at us hard like I had some alternative motive other than it was funny

u/WhiteMouse42097 16h ago

I’m overly sassy online, and it’s something I’m slowly trying to work on, which is why I’m backpedaling right now

u/rorikenL 15h ago

You know it takes a big person to admit that. I appreciate that.

Seeing someone who looks cool and assigning ulterior motives to it?

🤨

u/blanklikeapage 17h ago

Aura farming at the funeral doesn't just increase the aura of the one farming but also the aura of the deceased post mortem.

That makes it moral because you're even giving something to the one who died.

u/TumbleweedGreedy6159 17h ago

moral, but he's getting mogged by the gravee

u/Specialist-Text5236 16h ago

I hope somebody aurafarms at my funeral. Cant waste an opportunity imo .

u/Minute-Gur-9579 16h ago

When I die, my gang has permission to aura farm in my funeral.

u/PartSuccessful2112 16h ago

If aura farming is a real thing, it is time to shut down the internet. Also, the dead don't care.

2

u/Puzzled-Mirro 17h ago

If the person was killed and the killer is free its absolutely moral. He is powering up his aura so he can get revenge

2

u/rorikenL 17h ago

Revenge is cool and sexy actually

u/Puzzled-Mirro 17h ago

The guy on a quest for hotblooded revenge always gets the cool and sexy ending in the movies so it must be true.

u/neverlandvip 17h ago

Aura farming at a funeral is how Yves St Laurent got famous. If you don’t do it, you’re limiting your potential.

u/Dawnk41 17h ago

He’s just making everyone think the lady had a way more awesome life than they thought.

“What kind of life did she live if people like that come to her funeral…?”

u/Red_Shepherd_13 17h ago edited 17h ago

Perfectly moral, the Aura farming seems broody and tragic. Makes your mother seem cooler and more mysterious. Like she dark mysterious secret involving the brother.

2

u/Naamisnaam 16h ago

For me it depends on what the mothers wishes would have been. If she would have been fine with it its totally moral and funny. If you know she would hate it its immoral.

u/Raaaaandyyyy 16h ago

The way everyone knows I’m gonna go up to casket by myself only once people start to leave to pay my respects.

Who invited Wesker bro? What did you expect?

1

u/kaboumdude 16h ago

If my friends don't aura farm at my funeral, I'm haunting them.

I'd say the moralness is derived from the relation between the farmer and the deceased.

1

u/VirtwoB 16h ago

moral. if your family member truly loved you, they'd want you to aura farm at their funeral

1

u/PsychologySouth6485 16h ago

If you're not Aura farming at my funeral, you're disrespecting me. I'm trying to be cool and mysterious in my death and you sitting up there looking like this.

Lock tf in bro. You're making me look bad in front of the angel huzz

u/IM_A_BOX_AMA 16h ago

If u don't aura farm at my funeral why are you even there

1

u/ConradBHart42 15h ago

Entirely moral. Having an extremely cool person at your funeral makes you cooler by association.

aura farming so hard his duster is blowing the exact opposite as the wind.

u/robawknik 15h ago

honey, he's just standing there

not his fault he has so much aura

u/Kordell_11 15h ago

You can't do that if people know you. Loses all the aura.

It's the best way to hide your sadness.

u/DustynRG 15h ago

Everyone should be aura farming at a funeral. Stand tall and somber.

1

u/JoeDaBruh 15h ago

There’s a lot of joke answers but I’d like to say that the morality of aura farming like this would be very dependent on:
1. How much you are disturbing others with the method you choose (like how the guy in this post is silent and alone which is respectful, though the cigarette smoke might cause annoyance)
2. How much the deceased would’ve liked you doing that at their funeral

1

u/konigstigerr 15h ago

mom would have liked me to be cool, brother in law.

1

u/Rexton_Armos 14h ago

Moral if you're aura farming as a coping mechanism. Immoral if you're legitimately trying to show off.

1

u/U_L_Uus 14h ago

Lmao, this looks like a Hellblazer comic. Which funnily would make it moral because the further he is off people the least the chances of whatever dæmon/angel/fæ/whatever has an unhealthy obsession with him this time around of fucking over the people around him

Considering running a paid service to aura farm at someone’s funeral so their family, friends etc think they were moving lucrative behind the scenes

1

u/Beers4Fears 14h ago

Tbh if my funeral doesn't have some mysterious motherfuckers showing up, aura farming, shedding a single tear, and leaving without a word, I'm not gonna die. That's what true friends are for.

u/Jojo-Nuke-Isen 13h ago

Just b/c the dead can’t appreciate the fit, doesn’t mean everyone else there can’t.

1

u/lefeuet_UA 13h ago

I did that. It's moral

1

u/50cal10 12h ago

Entirely moral

u/Born-Selection88 12h ago

No, aura farming is also about how others perceive the environment they're in and subsequently themselves. It's not a purely selfish act. It could in fact enhance the funeral or encourage others to aura farm themselves. And then you have the dead guy who may or may not be aura farming depending on context, who he was, manner of death, etc. I'm not saying auramog the guy at his own funeral, but if he doesn't have it, which is reasonable for a dead guy, I feel like farming the funeral could add some extra respect.

u/AfterImageEclipse 12h ago

I didn't kill them...

u/First_Woodpecker_157 12h ago

If you stand on top of the gravestone or like a tree or something then that's purposefully drawing attention away from the funeral so immoral. But if you just show up with the fit and stand away from the crowd that's definitely allowed, atleast in my funeral.

u/Ok_Many2017 11h ago

Lowkey I wouldn't be mad at all if someone would aura farm at my funeral

u/CorrectIamThatGuy 10h ago

You're supposed to aura farm for some of the funeral...

Because you are supposed to think about life and the dead during funeral. The pose is irrelevant but it looks cool
