Has social media made people more stupid...

[Beerus]

That isn't what I meant, but this still gave me a good laugh.

I know what you mean. It makes no sense to see all these people who want socialism while having someone like Trump as a president and the republican party having power in congress. But if you look at the way the mainstream news has gone in the US, it makes sense. Trump won because people were fed up, not because over half the country liked him. A lot of people who voted for him don't even like him but he serviced as a giant FU to the system. He wasn't supposed to win, he has no ties in their government control. The reason he is seemingly the most hated president in history is because the media told people to hate him, and it worked. It was really that simple.

And thanks to social media, the general outrage over the bad orange man has been made even easier because a lot of people are like sheep and want to fit in. They saw others getting praised for hating him and hating the country and jumped on board. If the media wanted people to swing right, I would guess that a good 70% of the people who hate Trump right now would be supporting him.

*puts on tin hat*

I remember reading about the US acquiring mind control techniques from Hitler and using them in the mainstream media outlets. Not sure if it is true but... I mean... seems like it could be. lol

Yeah, I definitely like Trump better than I do the Bush family, the Clintons, and Barack Obama. I also agree that socialism can never work. Capitalism is the way to go.

I figured this would be a good place to bring up this topic. In the last 24 hours artist Twitter has had a mini melt down and coming out party if you will. A very popular amateur artist with quite a big following was outed as grooming minors. Granted he was only around 18 or 19 when it happened but that's besides the point that he was messing with teens and saying some pretty nasty shit. Then people took this as a signal to be like F*ck it and start outting other pedos. It was like watching the Salem witch hunt, mixed with the Purge, and a dash of f*ckin' rainbow haired gen Z everything sexuals sprinkled in.

So in closing, I stand by my earlier assessment. Social media is f*ckin stupid, it's a horrible hell hole, and it has made us dull. Have a good evening.

Twitter needs to cancel itself already

...I'm all for outing paedophiles if they're legitimately paedophiles, I just hope they're not McCarthy-ing it and shouting Commie, Commie!

A lot of people misuse pedo on there. I have seen it several times. People call dudes pedophiles for being attracted to fully developed teens, like 16 and 17 years old. It is creepy when the age difference is more than like 5 years but the true definition of a pedo is being attracted to someone who isn't even developed yet.

So I don't know if the correct term would be Ephebophile? Cause he was a young adult grooming a 15 year old. So, no he wasn't a pedo, but he has that perverse mind that people who take advantage of others have. They're trying to be sneaky about it but acting like they're not doing anything wrong at the same time. It's disgusting when people use a position of power to lure in unsuspecting or emotionally immature people. The mf'er started victim blaming but when people called him out on it he just turned chicken shit and cancelled himself, for now.

What's truly disgusting is that people who don't understand the situation are supporting him and saying "we forgive you!" Like a bunch of infantile, mindless, simps. He'll be back because even though it's all out there now, he only lost 3k followers out of over 30k. I just don't understand it.

Strictly speaking, a minor is a minor is a minor, so the term paedophile can be used, but I do agree that it's typically reserved for the ones who go after little children. It's beyond creepy to go after a fully developed minor, it's a whole different level of fuck you and let me cut your manhood off right here and now when you find children to be appealing in any way, shape or form.

(disregard my first point...after reading up about the various terms...yeah...I'm slightly less ignorant on a subject I wish I was more ignorant of)

Yeah, that term works. Some guys like to be "the first" for a girl and like them young because they can manipulate them Not pedophilia but still not okay.

The only reason I don't like it to be used interchangeably is that one is manipulative and perverse and the other one is just disturbing as all hell. I can understand a guy finding a 16 year old attractive. Doesn't mean he has to act on it or do anything. But I can understand it on a physical level. I can't understand finding a 10 year old sexually attractive.

 

[Beerus]

Ephebophilia - Ephebophilia is the primary sexual interest in mid-to-late adolescents, generally ages 15 to 19. The term was originally used in the late 19th to mid 20th century. It is one of a number of sexual preferences across age groups subsumed under the technical term chronophilia.

That term works for them.

Agreed, and after looking into the term India posted...and various other terms that exist for different such depravities, I do agree there is a distinction and admit that my own ignorance was unaware of the different terms...like I edited in above, I'm now a little less ignorant on a subject that I'd like to be far more ignorant of.

You and me both. It shouldn't be this common.

Now you're like me, my friend. You've seen and know too much shit that you wish could just go away. Hence, why I'm a grouchy old hotdog salesman.

Agreed...something that needs to be wiped from the face of the earth completely. Whether we understand certain aspects of it or not (physical attraction to a physically mature child), it's still disgusting that people act on any part of it.

Oh I'm already grouchy away from boob threads, but this is one area I had no interest in learning so much about. Just like the thread a while back where Beerus and I were discussing various menstrual products...a subject I have far too much knowledge on for someone who has no use for them...now I'm learning too much about different forms of kiddie fiddling and I don't like it.

I hope they discover a way to just correct the brain from this. We know it isn't normal, hell most of them know it isn't normal but still far too many of them act on these feelings and thoughts and never seek help.

 

[Beerus]

And as disturbing as it is, it is important people are aware of it so they know how to protect children from it. Especially online.

Agreed, if there's a way to correct the brain so that's not a thing, it needs to happen. Granted, if such technology existed it would be perverted to force gay, trans and other LGBTQ+ people into being "corrected," as well...

As much as I wish it wasn't, this is very true.
