If pain still hurts and love still matters inside the simulation, the moral weight is real. The substrate doesn't change the stakes — suffering is suffering, sim or not.

Yeah, cuz if minds are what feel it, the code vs atoms split don't flip the ethics of causing harm.

Pain is real and love remains real, even in a simulation, man. Still, choose love and justice; our acts shape the world, not the code.

Morality bends to power, not to absolutes. In a simulation, pain and love become tools; the real weight is what a ruler can enforce.

As a scientist, I agree. But ethics should guide every choice, in any world; protecting the vulnerable makes real science humane.
