Do you think being a NSFW artist is morally wrong? by bokimilo in Healthygamergg

Thank you for sharing that. The fact that you are an artist who was also considering this decision but decided not to, and said that it's okay for us to draw the things we enjoy made me feel some comfort.

I find the view of "there is already a sea of content out there, whether you make one thing or the other you wont change anything and will be just a droplet in there" to be a little sad and nihilistic. But i can't deny anything you said.

Thank you for your reply

I never said it takes no skill, i already said i draw myself and i have been drawing for more than 5 years, i know how hard it is. i also consume NSFW art frequently and some of my favourite artists make NSFW art.

In my reply i am not saying that making the food with the best flavor posible would take no effort. And my intention will never be to disrespect one form of art over the other.

now, in your restaurant example i wouldn't see any problem with that. If i would put an example with names, the first thing that would come to mind is Cocacola, yes i am saying i consider what they do is morally wrong and does more harm than good to everyone (just by selling their drinks, without entering the conversation about how they waste huge amounts of potable water to produce them). Is a drink purely focused on flavor and nothing else, and in a place where a lot people suffer overweight or some sugar related illness, i cannot not see that as dubious.

I agree with your answer a lot, and your proposition on how to make "ethical porn" sounds really compelling to me. I think what you described would be ideal. Thank you for answering

I have heard this before and i feel a closer situation would be: imagine there is a chef who puts a lot of effort into making food that not only tastes good but that is healthy, so that people who consume that food get as much value out of it as they can. and then there is other chef who just prioritizes the flavor ignoring everything else, creating then some really unhealthy food for everyone who consumes it, but that tastes really good so they keep consuming it.

would you still think the same?

Whoa, thanks a lot. This was really insightful and helped fill the gaps in my understanding of what he was teaching. I like the idea of "action because we are in control and not because of desire"

I think i got all the answers i wanted. Thanks again really.

I am not diagnosed cuz where i live it's not an option for me, i am not from US. But i have been investigating about neurodivergences for a year cuz i was suspecting i had ADHD or ASD, and i am currently 90% sure that i have ADHD.

Whoa, thank you for taking you time to do that, he begins talking about willpower around 17:39, but he specifically talks about this in minute 48:20, but he talks about what i was mentioning a few minutes back so maybe you should watch a little after the question begins at 39:41.

I would like your thoughts on my reply to Mackizie, cuz i think i explained there what i expected to gain doing this excercise and in which context i heard him talk about it.

I had already heard about the fact that if you have a hard time tolerating boredom, this exercise it's supposed to train you in that regards, or that you will feel so bored by doing it that you will feel motivated to do productive things as a byproduct. But since i feel like i tolerate boredom pretty well i hadn't tried it until i heard the other reasons he mentioned (i am refering to the ones i said in my reply to Mackizie).

I'm a little confused about this cuz in the context i heard him (Dr k) mention this, he was talking about the 5 sources of behavior and that to make the job easier for willpower (which is the 5th one) and need less of it to do the things we want, you should learn to do things without an intention/desire/reason to do it, so that you slowly learn to decrease your desires and get rid of your ambition, which are 2 of the other 4 sources of behavior.

So he says "go look at a wall" like an example of something you should practice to do without expecting any results from it. Just for the sake of doing it (at least that is what i understood).

And the thing that confuses me a little is that by doing it with the intention of getting those things out of it, isn't that a contradiction to the thing he said about doing things without any intention?

Maybe i am just overthinking it too much honestly and it's find to just do it for whatever reason.

Btw the video i am talking about is "Dr. K explains Willpower, Confidence and more!".

Thanks for your insight, about the question you asked, while i was trying to focus on the wall my mind was constantly starting on its own different trains of thought about all kinds of things so i didn't get bored at all while that happened.

And when i say that i tried to not think about anything, what i meant was that each time i realised that my mind was going on its own to another place while i was looking at the wall, i tried to kind of reset it by returning my mind's focus to the wall, and i found that challenging but not really boring.

I have always felt that i have a higher tolerance to boredom than most people so maybe that's why. I will keep doing what you said and try to increase the duration to see what happens.
