Not saying it is impossible, but the simple fact that internet exists or not is absolutely not indicative of porn having a positive or negative effect. It is a pretty weak article to use as evidence against what I am saying when it states clearly that these are only associations and correlations and essentially guesswork.
It’s more than you’ve provided.
Because they’re computer generated images not children.
Sorry, I really don’t support your perspective. If you have reasonable suspicion to believe real child porn is being used in these models prove it to a judge and get a warrant. If someone is a bad actor to the point of criminal intent, prove it to a judge, and bring it to court.
Dude how are you going to regulate AI?!!
Like by all means go after people harming others, but man… You realize you have no control right? Black markets THRIVE in this world. Like fuck, they can’t even keep drugs out of prison.
This took me 2 seconds to google.
Perhaps the most serious accusation against pornography is that it incites sexual aggression. But not only do rape statistics suggest otherwise, some experts believe the consumption of pornography may actually reduce the desire to rape by offering a safe, private outlet for deviant sexual desires.
“Rates of rapes and sexual assault in the U.S. are at their lowest levels since the 1960s,” says Christopher J. Ferguson, a professor of psychology and criminal justice at Texas A&M International University. The same goes for other countries: as access to pornography grew in once restrictive Japan, China and Denmark in the past 40 years, rape statistics plummeted. Within the U.S., the states with the least Internet access between 1980 and 2000—and therefore the least access to Internet pornography—experienced a 53 percent increase in rape incidence, whereas the states with the most access experienced a 27 percent drop in the number of reported rapes, according to a paper published in 2006 by Anthony D’Amato, a law professor at Northwestern University.
It doesn’t seem right to me to prosecute someone for computer generated images.
Okay… So correct me if I’m wrong, but being abused as a child is like… one of the biggest predictors of becoming a pedophile. So like… Should we preemptively go after these people? You know… To protect the kids?
How about single parents that expose their kids to strangers when dating. That’s a massive vector for kids to be exposed to child abuse.
My assumption would be the purpose is to shame people.
If an out of group individual is racially prejuice towards an in-group individual… They are being racist by definition. They are being racially prejudice. They are making judgements of another based on race. That fits the most clear cut definition of racism.
You are a bigiot. That’s the choice you’ve made. Your attempts at justification by diverting to sociological discussions doesn’t change this. At all.
Also you’re wrong from a sociological perspective… Because you know there’s something called intersectionality. That minorities races actually can, and do have power, and privilege, and that white people can be oppressed. You know this, so why are you bullshitting me right now?
Because you’re a bigiot.
✌️
You think I’m invalidating certain experiences by excluding them; I think you’re invalidating certain experiences by including them
One of these is oppression, the other is not.
2 years ago godot absolutely had 3d game development. You just go to the top, and click from 2d, to 3d.
I’m not saying racism doesn’t happen on an individual level; quite the opposite. I’m saying the systemic and social oppression cannot be extricated from the individual level. And that’s why it’s not the same thing for a white person as it is for a black or brown person, when those are the in-group vs out-group respectively.
This is a crazy idea, but how about we just call out racism as a whole instead of having arguments about how racism towards whites isn’t racism.
Like holy fuck, you are wrong. You DID say racism doesn’t happen on an individual level.
Sure is. But “White” is prejudice at worst, not racism. Racism includes the inherent power dynamics and systemic racism against minorities.
☝️☝️☝️ That’s you! That’s your initial comment in this discussion.
In all honesty you’re better composed, and clearly smarter then me, but you’re either disingenuous, or caught up in your own BS, because your position is wildly inconsistent. When you start saying things like “it’s white prejuice at worst” that should be a sign to take a step back.
Anyways… Soo um… I guess if you don’t believe in the influence of actions on the individual level, you also don’t believe in grass roots, or the civil rights movements over the past 100 years?
That comment makes me feel like I was the only one bringing that to this conversation, and you are simply engaging with it from a “I’m right” perspective without even a consideration that your perspective may not be entirely right. Am I reading that right?
YOURE FUCKING RACIST. Cockroaches deserve to be exposed. You are lucky for how polite I’ve been, and that I’ve taken the time to help you stop being fucking racist. People like yourself are undoing the progress we’ve made as a society, because like every fucking other arrogant prick, you think you can balance the scales without any consideration for the greater implications.
Fuck totalitarians.You undermine the foundations of what it means to be human like every other dictator because you can’t see past your own fucking goals.
I think you’re scum. Straight up.
Also heads up… trying to gatekeep the term systemic racism is systemically racist. Sooo… Seems like you have no problem with the structures of racism when it’s beneficial towards your goals.
And of course I have fucking doubts. Maybe Marxism is the way… But I have zero faith.
Unfortunately they have to prove it, but won’t be able to… Because you know… They’re wrong.
Right, but then you wouldn’t be able to dismiss OPs concerns. OP wasn’t talking about systemic racism, they were talking about the common understanding of racism.
The purpose is to muddy the waters.
Except now you’re telling me gravity only applies to people of colour.
And in your own analogy, you don’t deny that gravity is a force. You don’t deny that gravity makes things go down.
Racism as in racial prejudice is still a thing. No one has discovered some fundamental force that stops racial prejudice from being a thing. What you’ve done is started to view everything through class structures while denying racism can operate on an individual to individual level. That’s not reality, that’s just Marxism.
Social sciences, and dictionaries are two seperate things. No one is arguing that dictionaries replace social sciences, what people are saying is the common definition still stands.
As you already know, there is knowledge beyond the confines of the dictionary
Yet dictionaries still exist, and their definitions don’t become invalid just because you want to avoid criticism.
Oh I’m well aware of the attempt to redefine racism to avoid accountability.
You’re talking about the Marxist definition of racism, aka systemic racism. OP is talking about the common definition of racism, as in to judge based on race.
Wrong.
