Well I just went down a rabbit hole reading about terrible pedophile torture porn. That's enough internet for me for about a week. See you cats later.

How do you even respond to that shit?

These competing gender and cartel torture quote ziggurats

It's magical. I almost joined the TVC talk, but I can't find the research on repeated extreme stimuli's impact on the mind.

I’d actually be interested in that if you get bored enough to find a link.

Couldn't find anything on extreme violence images. Only some work on habitual and escalating pornography consumption.

In his highly regarded book on neuroplasticity, The Brain That Changes Itself [259] Norman Doidge summarized the research on addiction and the reward system, and stated that the continued release of dopamine into the reward system when an individual compulsively and chronically watches Internet pornography stimulates neuroplastic changes that reinforce the experience. Doidge went on to explain how these neuroplastic changes build brain maps for sexual excitement. He introduced an additional component of tolerance, in that previously established brain maps for “natural” sexuality cannot compare to the newly developed and continuously reinforced maps generated by continued compulsive watching of Internet pornography, and thus the addicted individual progresses to more explicit and graphic Internet pornography in order to maintain the higher level of excitement.

Incidentally, these researchers also reported that 60% of subjects (average age: 25 years) had difficulty achieving erections/arousal with real partners, yet could achieve erections with internet pornography. Note that this finding is in line with the actual results of a recent study purporting to find otherwise [264].

Kühn and Gallinat [263] conducted an MRI study with sixty-four healthy (non-CSB) male subjects and correlated hours of online viewing of explicit material per week and years of use with dorsal striatal structure and connectivity. Three main results were reported. First, longer duration and more hours per week of use correlated with lower grey matter volume in the right caudate. While the caudate serves multiple complex functions, volume changes in the striatum are associated with several addictions, while the direction of change is not consistent. Second, more years and more hours per week of use correlated with lower left putaminal activity in response to brief, still sexual images. fMRI studies confirmed that the putamen is activated during sexual arousal [265,266]. The authors suggested this lower volume may reflect tolerance brought about by desensitization: “This is in line with the hypothesis that intense exposure to pornographic stimuli results in a downregulation of the natural neural response to sexual stimuli” [236] (p. E6). Given the stronger response to 9-second explicit video clips in Voon et al. [262], it may be that brief (530 milliseconds) exposures to still images do not act as cues for today’s internet porn video viewers, and are instead a good way to measure decreasing sexual response. Alternatively, the non-addicts here examined may be responding differently than addicts would have. Finally, subjects who consumed more pornographic material were found to have less connectivity between the right caudate and left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). While the DLPFC is concerned with executive functions, it is also associated with cue reactivity to drugs and internet gaming. Disruptions in this circuit are implicated in drug and behavioral addictions. Specifically, poor functional connectivity between the DLPFC and caudate (as found in the current study) is implicated in heroin addiction

The people "boycotting" Kingdom Come arn't really missing out on much because they probably wouldn't have bought it anyway, a realistic RPG is a fairly niche market. But imagine how much shit The Last Night will bring up. Plus there's going to be people pretending to boycott it, but playing it secretly... and people saying they got it for free so they're not really supporting Tim Soret...

The best part though is the people who really really want to play it, but actually follow through with not playing it. The punishment fits the crime exquisitely.

I see we're back to calling everyone who bought the game a racist/nazi/whatever's the hot new name to abuse.

The game got virtually no attention anywhere until it blew up on twitch around release day. It'd be wrong to assume most of the 1 million knew about Vavra at all let alone that they'd agree with him or whatever. You guys really need to learn just how much of a bubble gaf/Era is.

No, but it is irrelevant.  A persons genitals have no baring on their gender, and It’s a best practice to get away from the topic of genetalia when speaking to non-gender conforming individuals.

What does it mean to have a gender? How do you know you are one gender or another?

Thats a really tough, complex question and everyone has a different view on it. Personally, I don’t think gender is 100% a social construct. Maybe a big part of it is, but there is more to it than that. It’s incredibly difficult, really almost impossible to articulate it to someone that isn’t also gender non-conforming. You just...know.

Not really. Sex and Gender are bimodal distributions. Meaning that the vast majority of people are born a sex and grow up to its affiliated gender. While there are elements such as hormones and other traits, the groupings appear in two bell curves with some overlap. The overlap is small, but there are intersex people and asexual gender identities. Overall, most fall into line with a sex/gender alignment.

Even transgendered people show up in a largely bimodal distribution where sex/gender distribution is largely male/woman and female/man.

So its not absolute, but to say biological sex has no impact on gender is false. You can't just erase the impact hormones have on a person, otherwise there would be no hormone therapy for transitioning.

The difference is now Millennials take it to another level, and mainly for the soul purpose of feeling 'special' because for most of them they are anything but special and rather mediocre human beings and this is what defines them.

Like, they're "different" and so they need to be treated delicately by the rest of society. We must all use new pronouns and respect their identity, whichever sex they decide to be at any given moment.

Didn't you choose to do this after you figured out you were a woman?

The way my female friends respond to me and the way people online respond to me.

Can you elaborate on what this means?

But above all that you just know.

Since it seems harder to articulate, do you mind sharing some concrete personal experiences which made you gradually come to the conclusion that you're a woman (in addition to the other things you are)?

Gotta do a long drive but I will answer all these questions after. I’m happy someone is curious.

It's pretty shameful that the only thing that got you to take any action was children getting murdered in your backyard. I guess it's better than nothing.

Someone in this argument looks ludicrous but it's the guy who got more worked up over a sci-fi video game than making his voice heard and engaging with his country politically, not me.

The fact that you’re even saying one thing has any effect on going out to vote is absurd. Might as well say “Hey, when you were watching TV shows, hung out at the beach or went to movie theaters, you could have voted”.

Nah, you don't get to hide your continued excuses in PM

If you don't realize how much of a shitbag moron you sound like defending not voting we're done talking. Like I said before, I'm glad you decided to finally vote. That's no reason to excuse your terrible behavior before and if you weren't an admin you'd be getting it from everyone else. How dare you so casually admit to not voting IN FLORIDA OF ALL STATES and then call my posting stupid. Shame on you.
