In dramaland, leading ladies often find themselves torn between the love of two equally attractive men — a choice none of us would want to make! But what if you did have to pick between the frustrating lawyer and the adorkable police officer? In this weekly feature, we ask you to make the difficult decisions — and we aren’t limiting our options to dreamy oppas.
Vote via the poll and feel free to use the comments to explain exactly how you were able to choose! So, Beanies:
WOULD YOU RATHER #11: RESULTS
While the obvious answer for last week’s poll would have been “neither,” where’s the fun in that? I was curious to see what kind of survivalists our Beanies are, and it was very clear that you would all rather take your chances with a swarm of zombies than be pitted against other track-suit-wearing contestants in a series of deadly playground games. And honestly, I’m with the majority on this one. Even though zombies scare the absolute bejeebers out of me, I’d rather fight against a known enemy than, as @welh640 put it, “gamble on almost death for slim chance of gaining money.”
Although the games featured in Squid Game seem easy, you are very much on your own, unable to fully trust anyone. In contrast, @lordcobol pointed out that one of the perks of fighting off the undead is that there can be more than one survivor. If there can be multiple “winners,” then, as @jls943 suggested, there is an increased possibility of cooperation among your peers, and the shared knowledge, skills, and manpower would also increase your own survivability rate.
Although the survival rate of a zombie outbreak seems higher, will it be a life worth living? @rubytuesday seems to think “existing within an inherently hostile capitalist society” is preferable, especially if “the zombies save us some trouble and eat the rich for us.” @ajewell, on the other hand, would rather survive the squid games and win a boat load of money — and pay for the needed therapy — than win the chance to — what? — continued living.
The most interesting argument against participating in the squid games, in my opinion, came from @kurama, who said she wouldn’t want to get slapped by Gong Yoo, no matter how much she likes him. Well, uh, if the memes circulating the internet during the peak of Squid Game’s popularity are any indication, I think she — just like Squid Game in this poll — might be in the minority on that one.
