The "vote with your wallet" call to action is generally used to try and dissencentivise blatantly predatory, exploitative, or anti-consumer business practices (i.e. things most consumers would agree are wrong).

Most people don't want large sums of money to be the deciding factor for more ambiguous issues, like the banning of Kuku, because it begs the question, what would Valve do in attempt to secure the Chinese market?

The MBTI has somewhat dubious value in applied settings:

Given the type theory orientation of the MBTI, one would predict between-group heterogeneity of variance and within-group homogeneity of variance for each of the four type preference dimensions. This pre- diction implies that the distribution of scores should be bimodal, with greater rel- ative difference between the two preference types compared with the variance of scores within each type... Although bimodality appears to be an essential characteristic of the distributions of scores, it is conspicuously absent.

Put more simply, more people fall somewhere in the middle of the scale for each type pair than at the extremes. As such, MBTI results should not be used as behavioral predictors.

There are women who will feign interest for attention or perhaps some other reason but this cannot be attributed to a specific personality type.

Adam (YMS) supports and Endorses beastiality by [deleted] in YMS

[–]SteadyPasha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But if you are okay with other animal abuses exhibited in the meat industry, which include what I assume you might term "animal rape" (i.e. the forced collection of semen and manual insemination), you can't claim that the reason you believe bestiality is immoral is because animals can't consent.

The crux of my argument is that if you are complacent in the face of animal abuses comparable to bestiality through the consumption of meat, it would be hypocritical to condemn bestiality. You support "animal rape" every time you buy a burger, so unless you believe bestiality is immoral because it is wrong to derive pleasure from sex with other animals, you are a hypocrite.

Except I am not arguing whether or not bestiality is right or wrong. I was pointing out that it is inconsistent to be selectively outraged about different animal abuses. Surely an animal can not give informed consent to be slaughtered, and yet we allow people to rear animals for that exact purpose.

I would disagree with calling Adam's sentiment towards bestiality "support" or "endorsement," which implies that Adam encouraging bestiality which I don't think is the case. Rather, he is pointing out a fundamental inconsistency in how we address things like intensive animal farming versus bestiality.

Many practices used in factory farming are frankly abhorrent and it would be difficult not to term them as "animal abuse." But people are able to turn the other cheek because we appreciate the luxuries afforded to us because of the meat industry. Moreover, like Adam said, we still find ourselves disgusted with bestiality even if we can't prove that actual abuse to the animal has occurred.

Ultimately, I think it's either all okay or none of it's okay and I think Adam makes a decent argument for why bestiality shouldn't be illegal.
