If you ignore for a moment that generative image AI will most likely utterly decimate the digital arts industry, it's kind of refreshing to see artistic expressions without the usual Tumblr degeneracy. It only took a blanket ban on explicit sexual content to accomplish this.
I suppose it'll crop up again when the usual suspects(Tumblr degenerates) manage to circumvent the ban on sexual content, but by then AI image generators may be good enough to create 'deep fakes/undress simulacra', removing the demand for illustrated pornographic content altogether.
Another factor of influence is that a new and different demographic is tinkering with artistic expression (through AI.)
again nothing you say makes a lick of sense, except to the sort of morons that get convinced of an idea just by having it repeated happily often enough...
yes the same. easy dopamine, harmful, addictive.
nuance is a powerful thing. feeling good because you beat a hard dark souls boss is OK. feeling good because you finally got the specific anime girl you wanted after paying 500 bucks and grinding for 70 hours straight is not OK.
"you see, our society is broken, men are fucked as a result, and keep doing fucked up things. that's why porn is okay."
get a grip.
the problem here is drugs rot you from the inside... and can kill you! that's one of the many differences... between a fucking porn addiction and being a fucking drug addict! you fucking idiot!
and context matters here. let's say... your playing shooter yeah? pretty easy standard shooter, and... you get a few headshots, some body shots and ya feel pretty powerful feel pretty big yeah? kinda like... your enjoying it! those dopamine in your brain are firing off like fire works! but-
Someone see's that your enjoying this. getting off to such brutality. you see in your dark souls example that's one way to get a high playing videos games. sad thing is... your leaving out different ways how people can get off playing games. you used a high ceiling example.
But that doesn't matter. if you can get joy out of beating some rando ped (pedestrian) running them over. shooting into a crowd full of people... one could say that easy access to dopamine is on the same level of using drugs... and you need to have a continues escalation of that virtual violence to feel that same high again. again your just not liking the example i provided you. because it shuts down your anti porn augment.
Porn is neither good nor bad. it is however an outlet. why men don't wanna do social stuff anymore is beyond me.
