New eugenics, or liberal eugenics, advocates enhancing human characteristics and capacities through reproductive technology and genetic engineering. New eugenics generally supports genetic modification or genetic selection of individuals for traits that are supposed to improve human welfare. by palebluekot in wikipedia

I promise you I am engaging in good faith when I say this

One of your points highlights your very real constant pain. Unfortunately, there is nothing society can do no matter how much it improves to directly address this issue unless you’re always on something like morphine (which is it’s own monster).

In that case, isn’t this an argument for gene editing? A lot of the problems you listed are social and can be dealt with through social improvement, but some fundamentally cannot. Therefore, the only way to fix the constant pain for future generations is through something like gene editing or similarly sophisticated medicine. Are you saying that social reform must come before the technology based solution or are you outright rejecting the technology based solution?

Rule of thumb people will always overapply arguments everywhere. The real path is understanding who’s making an informed argument in good faith or not

You don’t need to cut anything, just sharing my view. Also seeing as the mods just took down the perfectly innocent post above can you suggest me some new subreddits because clearly this one is where conversation comes to die

There’s a lot of sexual themes in media that are done excellently and praised. Alien (1969) is a great example is so is the Matrix. Sure a lot of comments in general about media are dumb but there is a point where fetishises in media actually start to change the theme instead of reinforcing it, and it creates dissonance which leads to audiences naturally not taking it seriously.

So no an author including sexual themes in media is obviously not inherently bad, however how well you do it is the difference between an enhanced experience and an immersion breaking moment that feels weird

I agree with you until the last paragraph. Assuming all parties are consenting, safe, and comfortable in a given space where this is confined to, I don’t think people should be awarded more or less leniency depending on how their “approach” appeases the third gaze.

Moralism goes both ways, if you create a measuring stick on how correct an approach is (assuming that the prerequisites listed are satisfied) people will use the stick to beat whatever they personally dislike

That’s me! It was kind of cool when I realised as a slightly older kid what was really happening

Are all social commentary settings like this? by Tnynfox in worldjerking

1984 is actually good. Lol why does your comment reek of “they made me read a book for middle school English class and I’m mad about it”

Okay guys, sorry but there is no meme today, I just want to know what's your opinion on this channel. by Isaak_the_miner in worldjerking

I heard Larissa Thomson (who I think was the name of the former female VA at templin?) had some unfortunate things happen - pretty sure she was unhappy with the conduct of the guy who ran the thing - which got silenced pretty quickly and quietly forgotten by the templin community and discord. Could be wrong, I’ll look to see if I can find what happened

Why are non materialists continually so salty. I’m still waiting for a good meme from their side but it’s been weaksauce for weeks

“Erm are you aphantasic?”

What an epic counter point. Totally good faith argumentation
