Yep, there is a reason a plant expels hundreds of seeds - only a couple survive in the wild.

Bit ironic considering the sharpshooter fallacy within your first statement. All I said is, there is more to it. But hey, why not gaslight the other person that they wrote an “out of faith” argument?

Agree, the problem is that there isn’t resources to help those that are having these problems. Within applicable law, people with paedophilic disorders and other minor attractions should be able to be helped - in all the modern cases, this is practically impossible until the harms are done (either to others or themselves).

The major problem is the stigma.

But we know brains behave a bit differently when sexually aroused.

We know that all brains are different, and it isnt a matter of arrousal (which doesnt really make much sense in the long run). The fact is that, it really depends on the person if the fictional stuff theyre doing - they want to do in real life. Psychology is a wide field that isn’t just limited to arousal.

Exactly, correlation does not imply causation. But even so, that risk in research is what is socially needed. Now there where such risk takers before, but if pseudoscience is what modern society relies on, then we are not as progressive as I thought.

Penis-epsi

Think I got it right guys.

What type of anime where you looking at?

Like western animation, anime has many genres, so you have a wide choice in that aspect. Its not hard to just filter out the ones that are not liked.

Are we just quoting big brother here?

Its the same situation like many have described:

To say that lolicons are pedophiles is equivalent to say that gamers who play violent games blowing up buildings or slashing people into a million pieces are terrorists.

Its really depends in the end, and like other commenter said, such question is hard to prove fully because there is barely any research.

Yeah, fair enough. To be fair, I find some bearded guys (on the odd time) to be good looking.

I think you missed the point on 2.

Yes, but I guess people want punk version 2 now, judging by this image.

I agree, thats what being punk is all about. This ain’t a stereotype but the essence of punk, so this meme/picture template isnt even true.

There is no need to compare minorities in terms of preferences. You either like it or not. Its the same with tattoos and other things.

I mean its your opinion, nothing wrong with that - just dont go rubbing it on other peoples faces.

yuck someone else’s yum even if I feel weird about the whole thing 🤷‍♀️

I’m quite the same honestly, but like you said - there isn’t a need to be a dick about it, already a surplus of them around.

In terms of birth defects, that may be right. But it really depends on the generation of in-breading. A single generation wouldnt do much harm but has the potential to if it continues. Of course, about the trauma and power dynamic bits, that may be a hit or miss as it doesn’t really hold.

That is correct, and that is why we shouldn’t make any wild assumptions which dont hold up to the facts. This is essentially shooting blindly within the smoke - there are better ways than relying on assumptions or the “feel”.

On the contrary your logic also doesnt hold. Shame has nothing to do with the root of the idea, so I dont exactly know why its introduced in the first place. Also it starts with a genetic fallacy, which disregards the sole message - of being mindful of what you do - as such, being a cunt isnt on the list.

Open mindness is what is beneficial here. It is important to realise if the moment is better with other peoples feels or your own feel. For a start however, it is important to focus on yourself first; this is not egotistical - but a strategic action for your and everyone’s good.

I agree, as long as consent is stated then no harm is done. Consent between people is important; but in these cases, they should know where they stand
