OP go watch the movie The Village

Got “Freedom Cities” on the mind, eh?

Nice try, raider. I’m staying in the vault.

Depends on if the colossal Titan and armored Titan breaks through the wall. And I become radicalized at the sight of my mother being eaten that forces me to bring about the downfall of all humanity.

Is anyone actively trying to stop me from leaving? Is there any punishment for doing so?

Is the “dangerous” outside because of something invisible, like a plague? Or is the “dangerous” a nebulous claim of “nobody goes out there”

I think plenty of people would try it just to say they did, just like the real world.

I think there are too many factors to account for to give a good answer.

But realistically: If the walled city was stable (relative to what I knowz I can only compare things to what I know and have experienced) and my life was alright or better then or course I would stay. If I had kids in that city I would probably stay.

If it was a shitty life inside those walls, of course I would find a way to stealthily leave.

Is that you, Eren?

It depends on how sus the people telling me that seemed. I would definitely question, but the desire to see what is on the outside would probably be inversely proportional to how content I was with life on the inside.

If I was like, “This place fucking sucks,” and they said, “TS, there’s nowhere else to go,” I might take my chances.

It’s called New Jersey since those people can’t pump their own gas, they can’t venture into the rest of America haha.

I’d suspect there’s something I’m not being told but I wouldn’t be brave enough to find out

Shit. There are no walls keeping me in, and no one is telling me the world outside is dangerous, but I barely ever leave anyway. When I do leave, it’s only to a small handful of relatively close places where I feel comfortable.

I am disabled and unable to drive thus holding a proper job is difficult.

i’ve been on an effective island with ‘visits’ to ‘the outside’ on rare occasions and largely when picking up things from lowes or family functions.

What you ask is not a hypothetical for me.

For sure. I’d volunteer to be the first person on Venus knowing it would be a death sentence.

Depends on how small or hard/easy life is there. I would argue that there is a sweet spot where if life is just hard enough to keep you busy but comfortable enough to keep you satisfied, most would never care. Too hard and there will be those who would take the risk, too comfortable and there would be those who would seek it out.

Personally if I lived my exact same life but in that city, I would go out at least once.
