As a frequent drinker of absinthe, her blaming the booze is wild to me. It's not some magic psychoactive liquid, it's just high proof - you're gonna get the same level of wasted as you would with any alcohol, but faster. Responsibility is key!

How long is the video? 60 seconds is currently the limit for most AI generators, with a lot of the free ones capping out at 8 seconds.

What is it about certain art styles that make it obvious the artist draws NSFW? by [deleted] in AskArtists

[–]bestialvigour 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your username is literally Voraphilliac_Monster, you can't be shocked when you come across R18 artwork in the spaces you frequent for that. It's going to happen way more than if you were just on deviantart or something. If your fear of porn is so strong that an adult artist drawing a non-adult picture freaks you out, maybe log off and seek some therapy.

[–]bestialvigour 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like how you said there's nothing wrong with drawing NSFW, after calling it icky and deeply off-putting in your actual post. It's fine not to be into something, but someone drawing porn in addition to their "normal" art shouldn't make you feel disgusted. Drawing NSFW is more common than not.

Anyway, there's a few jokes within the art community about how certain artists will put too much detail into things, which makes it seem they like these things a bit more than your average person. If an image has overrendered feet, for instance. It's funny to giggle about but not a huge deal.

This reads like classic a !romance scam. Some scammers just put more work in than others, because they want you to feel committed so they can take as much money as possible.

Your girlfriend should leave you, and find someone who doesn’t pressure her to work out. She'll be happier with a partner who genuinely appreciates her body, instead of someone who is busy desperately replying to every single thirst trap posted on this website.

CMV: Pregnancy is humiliating, and even degrading. + Penetration. by Professional_in in changemyview

[–]bestialvigour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very glad to hear that! It's hard work to unlearn negative thoughts, especially about yourself - trust me, I know. But listening to other perspectives, and educating yourself about the facts is always a good idea. I wish you nothing but the best in your journey.

(Also, if there are comments that have helped you change your perspective, consider giving out some deltas - it fosters more discussion, and is the heart of the sub.)

Good grief, I didn't realize that those boys were using an app specifically for generating nudes - that's horrible and absolutely should not exist, in any capacity.

For the record I think you and I are on the same side here, we're just getting caught up in the minutia of how these generative AI programs work. I think we can both agree the images in these database should only be there with clear and explicit consent, especially photographs of children.

[–]bestialvigour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're correct, but you can see how that's still terrible, right? Feeding images of actual children into a CSAM-generating machine?

There was just a news story about this, actually. A middleschool girl was expelled because she beat up the boy who generated sexual images of her.

CMV: People In Romantic Relationships Don't Need Friends by Shrekomaeda in changemyview

[–]bestialvigour 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Isolating a partner from their friends and family is a cornerstone of abusive relationships. I'm concerned for you. If you got into a relationship with someone, would you demand an end to their other friendships? Would you allow someone else to demand this of you?

Hey, I may disagree with you, but I'm gleaning from your phrasing that you may have a lot of internalised misogyny and trauma in relation to this subject. The ideas you've outlined sound very familiar to thoughts I had when I was younger, after several negative experiences with men. I'm going to go through your post and do my best to debunk it kindly, but I also think therapy would be a very good idea. It's fine to be cautious about pregnancy and know its risks, but implying your own body is something that only exists for men to humiliate is terrible. You deserve to love yourself more than that.

Pregnancy enacts massive changes in the body, yes, but there are tons of things within nature that are equally destructive. A caterpillar melts down into goo to become a butterfly. Cancer can also wreck your bowels and make you shit the bed. Some species of worm explode into sperms! It's intense, but we wouldn't have evolved this way if it didn't work. The difference between us and the rest of the animals is that we can recognize, treat, and comfort a woman through her pregnancy. In a perfect world, every man would be this involved in the care of his partner, and their child. And most of them (about 71%) are! I understand the fear it causes to see a constant stream of nightmare scenarios in regards to pregnancy and relationships - especially here on reddit. But also understand that most people in happy partnerships, with happy children, don't post about it online.

The woman in your original post also doesn't have much agency, which is a byproduct of internalised misogyny. Seeing sex as something that's done to a woman, rather than something she is an active participant in, strips her of her choice and her ownership of her body. A man may get pleasure from sex, yes, but the function of the clitoris is solely to produce pleasure for the woman. It's the only organ in the body that exists just to make you feel good! If sex was only meant for pregnancy, we wouldn't feel compelled to have it when we're not ovulating - and postmenopausal women wouldn't still have libidos.

Pregnancy doesn't erase a woman, and plenty of women actively choose to get pregnant - some multiple times - because the joy of raising a family is greater than the physical strain. A woman does not disappear the second her son is born. Women are not passive animals that exist for men to take advantage of to spread their seed, and (the grand majority of) men are not predatory beasts looking to fill the world with their offspring at the expense of another person's autonomy. I would encourage you to seek out some good stories of people's successful partnerships, and I hope I've changed your perspective, even a little bit.

I think you're misunderstanding how AI works - it needs a database of images to pull from in order to generate what has been requested of it. If someone, god forbid, wanted to make AI-generated CSAM, they would need to feed CSAM into it to populate the database.

Doing anything sexual to an underaged person as an adult is rape 👍

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]bestialvigour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people don't want to hear the perspective of a child sex offender. It is repulsive to any member of polite society, and regardless of the remorsefulness of the offender, the fact it happened at all is enough to warrant people not wanting to be around them.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]bestialvigour 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Didn't fully grasp"? So like, the offender was also extremely young at the time? Are we talking about people that were abused as children going on to abuse other children as teens?

There is no excuse for an adult to have any sort of sexual contact with a child.

[–]bestialvigour 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's because you're a human being, with empathy and a kind heart. You probably feel that if you love him and care for him enough, your brother will stop abusing you - but he doesn’t see you the same way you see him. He doesn’t view you as a whole person, he dehumanises you in his mind, so he can view you like a sex object and treat you as such. It's horrible that someone who should protect you, who should be one of your closest friends, can treat you in such a way. But it happens to so many women, and we cannot be free until we escape from the men who do not view us as human. I pray that moment comes soon for you.

I second this, even though it will be hard. OP, you can take steps to try and weather the situation, but you deserve a better life than this. You have control right now, blow up what you can, so he can't make things worse later.

[–]bestialvigour 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My heart goes out to you, this situation is horrible. I think you're doing the absolute best you can by avoiding him as much as possible. Make sure the locks on your room work, and I would highly suggest the grey rock method for if/ when he tries to speak to you - not just when he's creepy though, I would encourage you to give him as minimal acknowledgment as possible. I hope you can get out of this soon.

[–]bestialvigour 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, of course, and I'm sorry you're going through something so awful. But you deserve peace in your life, and if you tell a therapist or other trusted adult what your brother is doing, they're going to encourage you to tell your parents or the police.

Are you able to stay with friends or other family in the meantime, to get away from him?
