I see some difference between someone researching into what is the Tor browser and later installing it, versus trying some funny game, which is described as
```
Description-en: brings Christmas to your desktop
Xsnow is a X Window application that will snow on the desktop background.
Santa and his reindeer will complete your festive-season feeling.
Xsnow runs in GNOME, KDE, FVWM and desktops that are derived from those.
```
If one installs Tor, they might be endangered, but they are most likely aware that they are or at least might be endangered.
If one installs xsnow or xpenguins, one wouldn't expect to be endangered in any way (other than maybe being fired for installing games at work, if your work fires people for that).
It is the awareness and expectation that is important.
