Yeah, I think you need to do another lap on your rollerblades and come back to this.

I left my friend’s house covered in dog hair, drunk from the beers, and potentially put off sex forever.
Kotaku really needs this? It's underdetermined all the good work from the real writers/journalist at Kotaku.

Kotaku, the only place where a ten year old Pokémon character getting fucked in the mouth is a-okay, but don’t you dare objectify adult women in your fighting game.
that's a godawful trailer but it looks like one of those films that could turn out to actually not be godawful if plays it some of the tropes straight ala Kingsman or whateveralso apparently it's not a reboot-reboot but considered an actual sequel to the previous films with Lucy Liu, etc.

Like there's something to be said for people in their adulthood recontexualizing things they may have found attractive as a kid in a new, and more explicit, fashion. I don't think I'd begrudge any kid who had a crush on Misty finding aspects of her character or design attractive and carrying that into adulthood. She's essentially just a redhead tomboy archetype. And incorporating these elements into your adult sex life with costumes or outfits that reach back to these feelings as a kid is OK when ultimately you're projecting those traits onto someone of age. Roleplay is an important part of the sexual experience.But actually wanting to depict Misty, actual preteen Misty, in these sexual acts is crossing that line from finding the character traits sexually attractive, to finding the character itself sexually attractive. And knowing that this character is underage is essentially condoning the idea of child pornography. The harm of child pornography isn't just the children involved. They've already been harmed once it's been produced. The harm is allowing the "idea" of child pornography to exist by continuing to give it a market. That's what this kind of stuff does. Deplatforming works, and the way to stop this kind of stuff from existing is not giving it a place to exist.
As a corollary I do think there are ways in which you could do a story about a character or characters who were underage in the stories they originated in just in the same sort of way that you refer to projecting those traits onto someone of age. I believe it was in the anime feminism OT that it was discussed that Nanoha, for example, has a, well, complicated relationship with adult content in general, but at the same time the main characters of Nanoha were given the opportunity over the course of the series as a whole to actually become adults, and I don't see any reason that can't happen to other characters in fan works. What would it be like if [character_name_here] went to college and got into some relationships? What about their life as a working adult? It wouldn't excise fetishism/objectification from the discussion but it would at least meet a baseline level of responsibility for depiction of that sort of content.

I dunno man, Isn’t roleplaying also keeping the idea that Misty is some sort of sex symbol that is okay to lust for? Is not the same reason why Disney keeps screwing copyright laws because they can say that people will inevitably corrupt symbols of childhood?
Tijuana Bibles were eight-page, hand-sized comic books featuring well-known cartoon characters, sporting heroes, and Hollywood film stars in a sequence of hardcore sexual shenanigans. They first appeared sometime in the 1920s as illustrated dirty jokes featuring squeaky clean comic strip characters like Tillie the Toiler and Jiggs and Maggie from “Bringing Up Baby.” The more straightlaced the character, the more outrageous the smut.Their instant success led to far more explicit hardcore tales featuring famous movie stars like Mae West, Robert Mitchum, Dorothy Lamour, Greta Garbo, even Laurel & Hardy, alongside such well-loved cartoon figures as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Popeye and Betty Boop porking the fuck out of everything that moved. They were cheap titillation intended to arouse and (in their own way) educate the virginal. They were subversive and offensively humorous.

The name “Tijuana Bible” came from the mistaken belief these comics were produced south of the border and smuggled into the USA. They were actually produced and printed in the States by local artists and independent businesses who hid behind fake publishing titles like “London Press” and “Tobasco Publishing Co.” They were sold under-the-counter in tobacco shops, bars, barbers and bowling alleys at 25 cents a pop. Their greatest popularity was during the Depression of the 1930s, eventually petering out with the arrival of real porn mags in the 1950s.
Tijuana Bibles are now considered by many comic book historians to be among the very first underground comix. More importantly, these cheaply produced comic books helped unfetter sex and sexuality from the weight of societal and religious strictures of guilt and taboo by making sex seem fun, natural, and something to be greatly enjoyed.

Well, is how the BS the judges and the jury.
Quote from: Boredfrom on September 24, 2019, 08:45:25 PMWell, is how the BS the judges and the jury. Maybe in your backwards country, here in God's Country, Congress simply extends the copyright terms and allows them to be assigned to immortals.
An impeachment process is basically a grand jury trial
Hypothetically (regardless of how implausible this is) can Trump get impeached and convicted by the senate and then continue to run for president in the 2020 election?
I'm excited about how this is going to benefit the dozens (?) of other ongoing congressional investigations currently slogging their way through the courts. Now's when Cummins', Nadler's, Schiff's, et al's due diligence is going to start to pay off.
This all comes down to how well the Democrats control their messaging. The media will try to both sides everything, and Democrats have proven that they're inconsistent at best when it comes to messaging. The PR game on this has to be top-tier, because the enemy is very practiced at playing this game.
If the trump witnesses decides to ignore the subpoenas for the impeachment trial. will they be going to jail or there won’t be any consequences Like before?
Man, I feel like I remember Lou Dobbs not being crazy a decade or so ago.

If [Warren] doesn't get the nom her campaign should be studied for years. It has been a master class of coalition building and putting in the work. Not only saying but showing.
Being totally serious here: I have second-hand PTSD from the aurora incident and sometimes I get really unreasonably nervous at theaters.I went to see Ad Astra the other day and this guy next to me was acting so odd. He had a backpack on his lap and his hand inside it the entire time. I could barely focus on the film because my mind and heart were racing.All this stuff about Joker is starting to scare me. I have 7pm Dolby tickets for that Thursday.
Please everyone stay safe out there if you go and see this movie. Nowodays you just never know when someone will decide to snap and vent out their frustrations on society :/
Refusing to see the connection between the Joker and sentiment to commit violence when the FBI themselves noted a direct link is a full on yikes from me dawg.
I was just playing Arkham Asylum yesterday, literally shaking right now.
Seriously though, why is there such panic over Joker? It almost reads like parodies of 80s and 90s moms worried about any kind of problematic media turning people into murderers.
This particular piece of fiction features an Incel symbol.You don't think a movie about say, Donald Trump being a hero by killing minorities could be dangerous seeing how he's a symbol for many crazies?

Like, is there anything showing that the movie portrays the Joker as a hero or a good guy or anything? Granted I've not been following it, but it seems pretty usual "dude with problems goes through some shit and he snaps"
Keanu Reeves is alt right?

This is probably not the sort of thing you want to do when you also have a community dedicated to hating your site composed of angry misogynistic nerds who have already tried to go after your advertisers.
Law enforcement does not care about it, they have their resources spread thin enough pursuing actual cases of exploitation, they have virtually no interest in fictional material. That's why this kind of content is so ubiquitous on the internet.
I've been browsing Kotaku at work almost daily for the past few years because it often has the best compilation of recent gaming news out of all the major sites. Never, ever again.
Also I'm very happy to see the no tolerance policy on drawn/rendered child porn here. I was yelling at pedophiles for years at the old place with little support, christ.
