@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
@applejack @irie there are a lot of people, especially these days i feel, that are so engrossed in their fiction that it becomes their reality and they aren't able to discern between the two as much. this has been a thing as long as i've been alive, it's just taken on various forms from different groups of people. religious groups thinking pokemon was from the devil, boomer conservatives thinking video games were the cause of violence in children, liberal women complaining about feminine proportions and "realism" in art and video games, and of course a lot of people thinking that loli equates to CP which is honestly the most disgusting out of all these imo. i'm of the opinion that saying art is CP diminishes the degeneracy of CP. it's not fair to the kids who have actually been a target of that stuff and just abuse in general.
there is merit to the "touch grass" meme for this reason. people get lost in fantasy and idealism so much that they lose touch with reality and become sociopaths.
The loli - toddler - 3d loli - 3d toddler - rl pipeline is real.
@Aldo2 @applejack @irie man i wish another pipeline was real right about now
