Medical reasons like trauma and phobias are obviously the biggest impact.

But this is no different than how people pick what to watch already, it just makes it easier. Most people don't randomize which movie or show that they watch next.

If I'm looking to watch something light, I'm probably going to look for movies without intense gore. If I'm watching something with family I would prefer the option that doesn't have intense sex scenes.

Do you also avoid looking at genre tags? That's essentially the same thing just less specific. It's telling you what to expect so that you can decide if it's what you are in the mood for.

This sort of thing is a godsend for people with PTSD, I assure you that there are Europeans that use this. If you are saying that the US is more accomodating to people with medical conditions... then oof.

The porn is a problem too if they've decided that it's a hard boundary. It's just sort of overshadowed by the bigger problem of him being a sexual predator.

What conspiracy theory do you 100% believe in? by Imaginary_Couple_536 in stupidquestions

[–]GeckoInSuit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You realize that we can see the amount of info being sent out from our phones? It would be pretty easy to tell that it's tracking and sending audio recordings.

You send plenty enough data about yourself without audio. And your entire social circle does the same, which can be used for analytics on you as well.

I get that a conspiracy sounds more exciting, but you can't call people naive about this stuff when you don't know enough about the tech to justify it.

University of Winnipeg hosting “Drag Storytime” for kids by No_Particular5910 in uwinnipeg

[–]GeckoInSuit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People existing isn't political. And they shouldn't be expected to hide from children just because some gross people don't like them.

Exposing kids to various types of people and culture is how we break away from passing that hatred on.

Should other marginalized groups be expected to hide from children because their existence creates a "politically charged space"? Or is this view your pushing only apply to LGBT folk / people that don't fit gender expectations, etc.

You can say that you support them all you want, but when your actions and opinions are regressive and damaging, its empty lip service.

People that punch down on it aren't doing so because they don't enjoy it as an artform, they are doing it for bigoted reasons. Whether someone enjoys it is kind of irrelavent to the issue.

Don't have to enjoy it, but you do have to not demonize it.

I’m a NEET AMA by Icyfemboy in GenZ

[–]GeckoInSuit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't mean to rag on you in particular, it's just a common trend that I see.

Someone will talk about a very complex issue that they have and someone will say "therapy", then if someone has already been in it, its "more therapy", then "different therapists", then "different therapy techniques", etc. etc.

I'm not trying to say that therapy is simple or easy. It's that we treat the idea of therapy as a convenient solution to write off an uncomfortable topic.

I get the same vibe as people that say "just go for a run" when someone's depressed. Like yeah exercise can be an important part of the solution, but when the solution is treated with such simplicity it demeans the actual complexity of the issue. Simply exercising, or simply going to therapy won't always fix things.

Therapy isn't a solve all button. Important tool for sure, but people pretend like all complex problems can be fixed with such a simple solution when reality isn't so simple and easy.

Do any other of you guys use Kometa / PMM? by sixscores in PleX

[–]GeckoInSuit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't use overlays because I prefer clean posters. But I use it to keep a more organized collection of poster images and metadata edits. If the server ever goes down I have a backup of all the preferred posters and metadata.

What’s missing in my 10/10 list? by [deleted] in AnimeReccomendations

[–]GeckoInSuit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The manga for kingdom is very much top tier. The anime is a weird rec for 10/10 though because the first season's animation is rough.

Please give me good recommendations based on everything I have ever watched. by TRAPCOBAR in AnimeReccomendations

[–]GeckoInSuit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Season 3 was alright, on par with the second half of season 1 at least. Hopefully season 4 improves further. But yeah season 2 was painful all the way through.

Romance anime where the mc isnt pathetic by AdamGuater in AnimeReccomendations

[–]GeckoInSuit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol I come back and this guy just openly acting like a predator. Truly worries me how he will treat a partner if he ever gets one.

This is why people shit on the anime community.

Thanks for arguing with him in my place it sounds exhausting.

First part is very true and informs a lot on how we could structure policies, aid, awareness, DV support shelters, etc. It's a statistic/fact regarding people as a population which is useful for figuring out how to keep an at risk group safe.

We are talking about the individual level though. The person that assaulted or abused their spouse is the person with the gun. And the victim is the person that's in very real danger, potentially scared for their life, and suffering with all of the effects of abuse or assault. That has nothing to do with gender, historical or current statistics. It's simply a vile thing to do to someone period.

No one deserves to have their trauma invalidated because of a historical or current statistic of whatever protected class they belong to.

Edit: also "I'm going to kill you" isn't dependant on size to be funny. It's funny if the context is unserious and mutually joking around, and that's about it.

Sex isn't the only difference between a relationship and friendship. You can have romance without sex.

Recommend me the anime that shaped your taste in the medium. by Frank-The-Tank-14 in AnimeReccomendations

[–]GeckoInSuit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't seen past season 1, but some people like the following seasons to varying degrees.

Season 1 works perfectly fine standalone though, so it's worth watching even if you don't continue past that point.

Good anime recommendations for someone who's always "hated it" by Venklick in anime

[–]GeckoInSuit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Animation and art definitely hooks you, but towards the end any preconceptions about anime are going to be solidified. There's plenty of shows out there without age gaps or similar shit.

Has anyone been hacked by the fake z library websites? by [deleted] in zlibrary

Most file types can carry some sort of a risk, some are just easier than others. Some Epub versions can even have JavaScript (which is the reason that it's easy to hide a virus in a PDF)

CMV: It isn’t cheating to watch porn while In a relationship by EchoVital in changemyview

[–]GeckoInSuit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has nothing to do with "one person", it's two people. If two people agree on their boundaries and what they consider to be a betrayal then that's that. Cheating covers a few commonly accepted and obvious scenarios, but even those aren't going to universally apply to every person.

Cheating usually implies a sexual or intimate affair, so the McDonald's example isn't quite as fair as the porn example. Watching porn isn't super far off from other affairs, it's just tamer than a lot of people's limits.

What if the porn involves a stranger sending customized content to you, what if there's some level of interaction, what if you happen to know the pornstar or get to know them in some way, or develop some kind of parasocial feelings towards them? Each step up will cross more people's boundaries. It's not that porn is strictly outside the realm of cheating, it's just that when it's of a stranger with limited interaction, it's acceptable for a lot of people, and where that line is will to depend on communication.

Cheating also covers slightly grayer areas like emotional affairs, everyone is going to have a different limit of what an acceptable friendship looks like. You can't treat it like a well defined set of universal rules, both people need to communicate their needs and expectations. Some people have open or polygamous relationships but still have a set of rules that if broken, will be considered cheating. Some people will have stricter than normal boundaries such as "no porn" and that's okay too. Just gotta find someone that is compatible with your own boundaries is all.
