I know it’s from pages ago, but what’s up with those people freaking out about the MK women? They just look... normal, and they’re all conventionally attractive. Absolutely none of them look like men. What’s causing this? Do these guys have brains so rotten from watching anime that anything that isn’t lolicon no longer reads as feminine to them?

that or porn, guys who spend all day viewing women as sex objects and internally rating women on a ten point scale of fuckability tend to have, uh, extremely bad assumptions of what actual human females look like in real life

Blizzard started selling tickets for the upcoming 2019 convention, and just used photos from a previous convention to promote it.

Yeah. Plus all the media from the 80s and early 90s is sanitized as hell, no one could refer to death, attempts at diversity were jarring stereotypical tokens, there were tons of Very Special Episodes, and actual runtime would be taken to have the characters look at the camera and deliver moral lessons or edutainment about the location they visited. But now, when the Ninja Turtles can actually punch people, is when censorship is rampant. I'm a 32-year-old fogey, but I think most kids' stuff is better than what I grew up with. While most of these nerd media Nazis might not remember those days, I'm pretty sure many do, and it's weird.

Chuds want girls to like games too. As long as they're the right games and the girls aren't better at the chuds but they're constantly supportive and helpful and also do all the cooking, cleaning, and sexing.

I can see people turning to quackery because of desperation (cancer cures, etc.) but it's still difficult to parse the mind of the kind of person who thinks it's all a scam from the foundation. Like, maybe the lack of availability led to people just renouncing stuff wholesale? For sure, modern medicine is a scam in the sense that it's made too expensive for most people in the U.S. to afford but as far as treatment goes, the usefulness is beyond question.

I have a family member that I barely talk to anymore because of this poo poo. It's only a matter of time before one of their children gets sick and it's easier to just write them off now than to await the misery helplessly. Social media was definitely the culprit there.
I mean what's the practical difference between cures that work and are impossible to afford and cures that don't work that are affordable? Either way, you're dying of treatable illness. Since the result is the same why would these people want to believe that the whole system is built from the ground up just to gently caress them over? Isn't it nicer to think of it as all just one big scam?

I can assure you that they're totally serious and aren't trying any kind of trick to seem woke. They're unironically saying that SJWs are making us stop jacking off to decapitating half-naked women.

Is anyone worried about pedophilia becoming the next civil rights movement in the 2020s?

Before you come at me with “muh slippery slope fallacy” let me point a few things out that are very troubling. Recently, it’s been confirmed that two registered sex offenders have been caught reading to young children during drag queen story time. Overall, the mainstream media has been silent on this (with the exception of Fox News) There is rampant sexualization of young boys and girls in the media, not to mention children are now encouraged by psychiatrists to undergo gender reassignment surgery even at the young ages of 3-6, every since the sudden landmark case of Coy Mathis in 2013. There’s also more pedophiles “coming out” now as self professed “NoMAPs” which basically means you’re a “non-offending minor attracted person.” Some media outlets have even begun to write articles that draw sympathy towards these sick individuals.

This is no longer a misinformation campaign from 4chan, when there are literally hundreds of open NoMAPs and MAPS on reddit and twitter organizing and recruiting minors behind their sick flag.

There’s also the problem with Drag Kids, which has led to a bill in Ohio to be be introduced which would basically ban shows from involving and sexualizing children.

Maybe I’m just connecting the dots here, but I feel like something very sinister is brewing, and we’re at the tipping point. And isn’t it weird that it was the drag queens that rioted years before stonewall?. (I’m not saying the gay movement is in any way related to pedophilia, but it seems like drag queens are the ones that are always the loudest and tend to revolt the most in any movement.)

I agree with how pervasive and sickening it's becoming but I don't think we are at a tipping point. I don't feel like grooming will ever be properly addressed because it is too bitter of a pill to swallow. People in positions of power will continue to ignore this and just fling insults at each other and the media will merrily carry on reporting forever about poo poo that doesn't matter.

I can't think of a way out.

I have sometimes thought that the push for the transgender movement(at least from the powerful people behind it) was related to the promotion of pedophilia. If a child "knows" their gender, don't they also know their sexuality? If a child has the right to permanently modify their body/sterilize themselves, don't they also have a right to have sex with anyone they want? Especially if it's a kind, sensitive "queer" adult who just wants them to embrace their specialness?

*gag* No, I don't think this is far from becoming the next civil rights issue.

I think the same thing with the big push to teach kids consent. Like, at first I was like OF COURSE that’s an important concept to teach, and I have never been the type of mother who would make a child hug or otherwise interact with a relative if they didn’t want to.

But now I feel like there might be a sinister motive, namely, the argument that an underage child is capable of consenting to adult sex.
