Sorry for the triple post. Generally bad counter-arguments and glitchy internet aren't a good combination.
X is Y because it's Y is not an argument Marik, it's a bigoted statement. Your reasoning is also shoddy because A. you expect that people automatically accept your given, and B. it's a stupid point altogether.
Please understand I was playfully trolling. I could care less whether people watch hentai or actual pornography, I'm naturally basing this off of my personal opinion, and I assume you are as well, and debating subjective opinions doesn't end well. None of it is scientifically proven, so stop taking a troll's comments so seriously.
But I will explain my reasoning regardless. Please understand I dislike "normal" pornography in general and actually used to be addicted to said content.
- Television/Film - Avatar, one of the most popular films ever created, is apparently for pathetic losers because it's portrayed almost entirely through special effects. Considering that the audience wasn't supposed to sympathize with the Nav'i, it's an odd choice that the director would tell the story through the perspective of the villain. Tragic ending, too.
Good point, but it isn't really comparable. I don't dislike hentai because it's pure imagination and not reality, and humans
need to let our imaginations wonder away from reality once in a while to keep perfectly sane, but I dislike hentai because it screams desperation and also the fact your 30-something year old self can't get any sex.
For curious teenagers, it's actually quite understandable. But as you get older, which is why I'm being biased at the hentai community, it's pathetic.
If you take either pornography or hentai, and treat it like it's reality, you're a loser. Simple as.
- Video games - Anything that doesn't actively portray the real world or an event that actually happened is a completely unrealistic fantasy. The only people who play them are either kids or pathetic lonely losers who can't find real hobbies in the real world.
Well, as I said before, we all need our outlets. I'm not trying to degrade anyone, and I have popped erections over hentai, but I felt ashamed after for reasons already provided.
Our natural primitive sexual urge accounts for a lot of it.
Don't you think it's more pathetic to need to know something is real in order to get off? Do you actually think the giant ***** and **** you see in "real" porn are accurate portrayals of human anatomy? Drawn or not, Porn is entirely fantasy. As long as it's on your TV, computer, or magazine, it's about as real as Yoshi on your Gameboy, and just as 2-dimensional.
I think pornography is acceptable in moderation. You can't disregard a normal social life because of it, neglect yourself and your family because of it, and the same applies for movies, videogames, hentai, and fetishes or other extremes.
My bad for the confusion, you should post more. We'd have interesting conversations.
But yes, I suppose I am bigoted towards the men who masturbate over teenaged cartoon girls when they are twenty five years old because of the sheer cry of "I'm socially inept and can't get any action" and because unlike pornography, which is also pretty unrealistic I might add, it's even more so. Women are real. Tentacles ****** girls and other bizarre scenes aren't.
When you resort to such methods in life, watching hentai or even excessive amounts of porngraphy instead of doing things with real women or men, it's quite saddening.
Also, hi guys. Just a Yoshi main trying to determine whether or not it's worth it to try to get good at this game.
Yoshi is a bad character. If you haven't been playing him for a while, don't start now.
Play Brawl+ Yoshi instead. Much better.
Let me tell you a little bit about myself.
I am a professional and published writer and editor with a Bachelor's degree in English and Writing and am working towards a double Master's in Fiction and Poetry at the Vermont College of Fine Arts (the second-best low-residency writing college in the country). I typically write short literary fiction and run a workshop full of talented writers every third Sunday. People regularly look to me for advice on what makes a good story.
If you can present to me the plot of a porn which is NOT AWFUL, I will eat my own face.
That's quite an accomplished career there.
Well, I was watching a television show one time right, and these women were in the beta stages of producing feminist pornography (sort of a paradox, but whatever) aimed at female audiences that focused on the more romantic plots of said movies, instead of the men getting their bust all over horny women.
I haven't actually seen any in production, but I found the idea of it interesting nonetheless.
But hey, whatever floats your boat people. I'm not going to attempt changing mindsets over an internet forum. That really wasn't my intention in the first place.
Long post is long.
