@beardalaxy @irie > idgaf tbh. the point is that there are people out here calling loli CP and i think that diminishes what CP actually is
That's fine, but when you talk about people not being able to discern reality from fiction it's dishonest. Disclose calling it CP instead of loli intentionally gives people the wrong idea and that's way more dishonest

> what's the point in not just jumping to the real thing if lolicons and pedos and child rapists are all one in the same
That's also part of my point. Rapists and pedophiles are not the same thing but liking sexy drawings of kids is pedophilic. It doesn't mean you're necessarily a pedophile, it's more complicated, but denying it and instead trying to focus on ficton vs. reality doesn't make any sense and can't actually convince people who don't already agree with you because it's so obviously wrong

Instead talk about how liking something doesn't make you a rapist. The case for it is better. People who like MILF hentai aren't all mother-rapists

> but the most sympathy you'll ever get out of someone is that you should go to therapy
People don't sympathise any more if you tell them it's fiction, they already know it is. At least give them a convincing point why it's not bad

Therapy doesn't work and it doesn't need to be treated because there's nothing wrong. Even the DSM-5 says that when it doesn't cause problems or distress it's an orientation that doesn't need to be treated

> when people say that kind of shit and then they're the ones who ACTUALLY are grooming children or are caught with CP or whatever
Saying "actually it's the people who aren't attracted to drawings of kids are the REAL PEDOPHILES" doesn't work either or even make sense. It's like saying that homophobes are secret gays thing or that the left are the real racists. When it happens you talk about it, when it doesn't happen you don't talk about it, when a counter-example happens you don't talk about it. For every random anti on twitter that got arrested for something dumb there's 10 japanese doujin artists or cases of loli being found with actual CP

@beardalaxy @irie I don't think you get what I mean

Nobody actually thinks that loli involves real kids (outside of some tracing that sometimes happens). It's a strawman for ironics. When people say loli is CP they mean it's porn depicting children, which it is, like your pics depict a woman, saying it's not is semantics at best. There's no trouble distinguishing reality from fiction, that's a cope

We didn't evolve for mass media. We evolved where we were basically surrounded by our group and we took what they thought and felt as our own, it was dangerous if we didn't

Repeat something via media often enough and people can believe even the most insane shit passively. That's the entire basis for the modern world. Even completely contradictory shit

Stereotypes are bad and fake but trannies need to live stereotypes to be fulfilled. Evolution is real but it doesn't apply to the human brain. We are the resistance but every western government and NGO agrees with us

People adapt to what they're exposed to. If you fap to drawings of sexy LGs you'll probably find LGs more sexy, even if it's all subconscious, even if you try and consciously compensate for it

@beardalaxy @irie I mean, the media people consume obviously has an effect on the people that view it. It's honestly been the main driver of change in the last hundred years

@alyx @diresock @Effortless@noagendasocial.com Why are only the six million remembered? Why wasn't there ever a Nuremberg for the Holodomor? Why did the US turn a blind eye to Katyn and other massacres? It's almost like it's just one big useful tool with no actual meaning

@VB @nyx@freak.university "maybe some people do it as a form of identity"

What does this mean? People talk about this in the abstract but it doesn't mean anything. Identifying with X just means you identify with X, it's a completely empty concept to obsess over

If you act like a 12yo, that means you act like a 12yo, you aren't 12

If you act like a woman, that means you act like a woman, that doesn't make you a woman

You can make these up with anything and they're always as meaningless

@nyx@freak.university Cinny tries too closely to mimic Discord to its detriment in basically the same way as Mastadon does with Twitter. Still cool

@furgar The lightbulb thing is a meme. Yes, you can make the filament thicker to last forever but then it takes much more power to actually make light

@furgar Cancer isn't a virus, it's a part of the body going haywire so it's hard to fight it without fighting the rest of the body. It's impossible to make a vaccine for it

The "common cold" just means the current seasonal flu. We have vaccines for them, flu shots are a thing

But yeah, vax development generally take like 10 years. Maybe they could say that coronaviruses are more studied but eh. He should focus more on that it's a completely new and untested technology to develop them
