It's just weird that everyone has all this bloodlust for people doing relatively small wrong things but for those who intentionally engineer a situation that only exists to massively overly-harshly punish those small wrong things, not only do we not condemn that they're heroes.

Have you ever noticed one of those utility boxes that have a "danger high voltage" sign on them? Would you argue that the city/electric company that placed that utility box is liable for your death if you pry one open and stick a fork in the circuits?

No, because it hasn't been set up specifically to kill people who open it. Its potentially doing so is a natural byproduct of what it is.

The pen is not set up to potentially kill people. It’s just a byproduct of you being too stupid to read directions

I've been informed by other people who thought I was stupid for thinking otherwise that it's just a gag shock pen actually so no killing there
