They’re pretty reasonable, in fact a lot of the comments are melting down about how rlm is woke now and the like.

Yup, we’re truly in the darkest timeline

Most of this shit was started and perpetuated by Andrew Wakefield who is, believe it or not, British. Not American.

I can inspect it for them

My dad moved to Ecuador 2 years ago partially because of how safe his area was supposed to be. Now he’s stuck in lockdown.

Who are you who are so wise in the ways of science?

Cyberpunk and RDR2 both

Omg omg is that MedicPigBabySaver???

Wtf are you talking about? So if someone enjoys killing npcs in a video game they’ll start to need to kill people irl?

What year is this?

Acting on it is NEVER out of their control.

As someone who doesn’t have to permanently stifle my desires for the entirety of my life, I’m not about to assume that. I have no idea the toll that could take on someone mentally.

If it is in fact helping them, yes

Okay so… we agree?

And yes, some would argue the opposite. But I don’t think we should be creating laws without any actual proof one way or the other.

Well maybe we shouldn’t base our decisions on knee jerk responses.

Imo if nobody’s being hurt then it’s none of our business. If it helps these people to deal with their urges without actually hurting anyone then I think that’s unquestionably a good thing.

Unfortunately I think it’s probably in the same vein as any fetish or preference, so completely out of their control.

Obviously people who act on it are the scum of the earth, but those who simply battle with the urge I have nothing but sympathy for. I can’t even imagine how horrible it is to have to deal with that daily and never be able to do anything about it, or even really talk to anyone about it.

I know someone else linked it already, but you should really check out Flashpoint

What’s a “progressively restrictive law”?

Are they talking about her appearance on the hbomberguy stream? I totally forgot about that

I see what you mean, but it’s still functionally different. Being chemically addicted to nicotine or alcohol isn’t the same process as a diabetic needing sugar.

Yes, but there are different types of addiction. I made this comment on another post, but I’ll put it here too:

There’s a big difference between something being psychologically addictive, and something being chemically addictive.

Like, yea, you can technically get addicted to anything. But there’s a massive difference between getting addicted to, say, working out, and getting addicted to nicotine.

So food being chemically addictive is not something that’s been known for decades, in fact it’s been a common topic of debate.

WOULD YOU KINDLY

But is it about what’s directly on the billboard, or about what it’s advertising?

Like, Pornhub could make a billboard with nothing risqué on it, but the fact that it’s advertising a porn website would be an issue wouldn’t it?

Maybe not, I’m just curious tbh.
