I think we're supposed to coexist with animals like ants who milk aphids, we are supposed to be sophisticated enough to exist symbiotically with animals. We shouldn't be treating them badly, their life should be bliss, they should always be comfortable and happy to give us what we need from them, as we give them what they need from us. I'm having a hard time eating meat now.
@bloop Coffee gives me diarrhea and panic attacks, so I don't know what to tell people besides that. I think I'm sensitive to caffeine or people get different feelings from the effects than I do.
@Spag Oh my! Grandma!
@Lana I used to say a lot of slurs years ago and I never really apologized I just said I have free speech and that it's just a word and that people shouldn't take offense and that was particularly cruel of me and that's wrong it would be like if someone called me a word I hate because they thought it was funny and if I asked them to stop they would tell me I was the one with the problem and that's not very nice
I hate that I'm starting to really see anti-cs points and am starting to think incentivzing adults not to fuck children through social and legal consequences is a good thing, I don't want it to be but I'm worried it might be a good thing... could I have been wrong all this time, yes I could have been...I may have been totally wrong, there was a time 5 years ago where I felt certain that freedom and human rights were the ultimate good and that people were mostly good and everything would sort itself out but even though I still think people are mostly good still (though I've gone back and fourth on that but it didn't effect my stance on freedom) I worry that the natural friction which always occurs between all humans no matter how good they are because nobody's perfect, would result in uneven harm, the child would be more harmed than the adult due to the adult having an unfair advantage in arguments, I'm not even touching physical abuse because that's against the rules of society, we talk, we don't hit, and so I'm just focusing on the best case scenario, where an adult who means no harm and only intends to be a teacher enters into a consensual romantic relationship with them...even then, due to the natural friction of human lovers, hurt feelings will occur, and the childs feelings will be more vulnerable, more sensative, than the adults, they are not on the same playing field. Now, I still do theorize that there would be healthy fringe cases, instances where both the adult and the child share the same level of developmental disability while still being able to understand and follow the rules of social interaction for loving friends, or cases where the adult and child exist in a culture that is sex positive and so there would be no social consequences for the child and adult engaging in mating behaviors, or play-mating behaviors, because these would not be something that would culturally imply a special relationship, it would be no more damaging or contain any more emotional friction than an adult and a child who happily, consensually, and eagerly hug in a platonic fashion in our current society.
The thing that struck me is I saw a pregnant exhibitionist recently and I had seen her before too so the contrast was there, and I realized that even though she's sexy af she's still a pregnant woman and still deserves respect and protection, and that's when I realized there's nothing wrong with sex work and sex workers are mothers too
