I've actually spent my entire life pursuing that exact purpose, after seeing what's been going on online.
Frankly, people got used to the format of pornography to relieve their sexual urges, yet as the VAST majority of porn is deeply degenerate, those who failed to recognize that they were addicted to the format rather than the content, and actually started believing that they themselves held the desires represented on the screen, end up like these people, trying to "fix" the world to fit them, rather than fixing themselves to fit the world.
This dynamic is not in any way restricted to pornography. Many people are doing the exact same thing with entirely different issues. Look at each one of the seven deadly sins and you will find a pillar of humans insisting upon it's survival somewhere in society.
These communities are run by the communal experiences of humans, not by nefarious pretend gods.
The problem is that a huge segment of our population thinks those who are saying such things are the only ones trying to help them. Because those people are the only ones actually willing to get directly involved in their lives, instead of just shouting at them from behind screens or a bully pulpit.
But like I said running around with the flag of the people who advocate for decriminalizing pedophilia doesn't give off the impression that you want to get help and more that you want pedophilia to become socially acceptable.
Oh, I agree entirely here. Dude has absolutely lost the plot when he failed to recognize that.
Then what's the point of outing yourself in public as a pedophile if you're not seeking acceptance for pedophilia?
Perhaps because of the pervasive surveillance state systematically hunting them?
Or perhaps because people who have failed to pull themselves out of such a state, due to being exposed to pornography online while they were kids themselves, are losing control due to too much online time and are short circuiting?
Went looking to buy an album I liked the other day, and literally could not figure out how to do it. The only things I could come up with was signing up for some subscription service, or finding it used at a second hand store.
Can't even give them money if you WANT too.
Meh. It's a good attempt in the right direction, but it still misses going far enough.
The entire Internet needs to be completely redesigned from the ground up, starting with computing technology itself. Anyone caught attempting to install pre-designed flaws for their own benefit needs to be blacklisted from all technological work. Forever.
It's a rejection of the surveillance state. It's basically saying that if it's no longer possible to keep sexuality private because of the pervasive abuse of access, then they will have to live right out in the open.
This is an attempt to "teach men a lesson" for the highly sexualized media prevalent on the early Internet, which was horribly misguided, because nobody had bothered to inform the kids online that the world was expecting them to build a whole fucking digital world for everyone to live in, because that would be fucking insane.
Young people today are going to look back with the utmost embarrassment in the future.
I initially engaged with the Internet fully openly, wanting to see every cool thing out there. I had NO idea it was being used as a battleground for an ideological feud, nor just how screwed up some of the random people online were. It really is quite embarrassing to have adopted some of their ideas without understanding how any of it worked, then I tend to get intensely angry that they subjected kids to all that shit. And still are.
Way too god damn many people on our side who can't get their hands out of their pants long enough to consider issues from any other perspective. It's seriously dragging things along.
I regret not recognizing just how bad they had it sooner, and entertaining their trains of thought too much.
This guy said that?
Crazy.
