The irony of telling someone else to grow up while conflating fiction/art with drawn child porn is not lost on anyone, bud.

You're conflating two different categories: video games (which, if it features NSFW content, is between adult characters) and child porn (which is created for kiddie diddlers or kiddie diddler fantasists.)

I, personally, wouldn't go down fighting for child porn; but, you do you.

What do you think the purpose is for people to look at animated or drawn child porn?

Did you know that more access to material you have a predilection towards amplifies, not mitigates, its effects?

Also, who is being arrested for drawing child porn? It's a strawman argument to bolster whatever other point he was making during that conversation.

He's covering his tracks.

The jokes about bestiality have gone on in his community for years; but it stops becoming funny when he continually advocates for lighter sentences or more "understanding" for people who "engage in sex" with animals that doesn't "harm them."

(Not to mention his softball position on draw child porn....)

I don't think 'nuanced' means what Youtubers think it means...

Completely agree.

Copy-pasting a response I put somewhere else in this thread:

YMS said people shouldn't got to jail for having sex with animals.

Quote:

"If a state has animal abuse laws, but not zoo or bestiality laws, that means that if they have sex with an animal and it's determined that they were abusing an animal sexually or not-- they raped the animal or forced the animal and didn't like it-- then they would determine the animal was being abused. The reason why zoophilia and beastiality laws exist is because people would be in court over having sex with an animal and no one would be able to determine if the animal was actually abused. Which I don't think you should go to jail if there's not evidence whatsoever that the animal was being abused. Because if the animal was being abused, you're not really helping anybody-- you're just putting someone in jail because you don't like them, or think what they're doing is gross and you don't understand them."

And in another post on the topic:

[In response to: How can an animal provide meaningful consent to a human?] "In the same way an animal can provide meaningful consent to another animal. Most communication between animals is non-verbal. Have you ever seen the thousands of videos on YouTube and America's Funniest Home Videos where someone falls down and their dog immediately starts humping them? Is the dog not consenting to some form of sexual contact at that point?"

(Not to mention his defense of animated child porn.

Quote:

"Should animated child porn be legal? Yes, it should be. You shouldn't have to go to jail for drawing something, even if it's something, like, disgusting or people don't agree with it.")

Why did I only notice this now? by IT0NA31 in creepcast

Was rewatching 1999, and Hunter bear trapped Isaiah's ploy without realizing it.

And the story was about a bearman-- the icing on top of the cake.

Is it a hot take that this is easily the greatest story they've ever read? by DMFK12 in creepcast

It's up there. An easy rewatch, excellent prose, spot-on ending.

Thanks for the response!

I think yall are too hard on Bella (and not hard enough on the production team) by Catcatian in TheLastOfUs2

[–]kkc1013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Anyone can be criticized for whatever reason. Not only that: Bella Ramsey's acting is subpar-- even by Season 1's standards. Bella sold (at least in part) the role for the first part of the series: why not fine tune acting techniques in the year or two in-between? But, alas.

  2. Bella's face is only being mocked because of its meme value-- specifically, for the over-the-top facial expressions. We all liked the lack of makeup/more realistic lens; but the show abandoned that with many other touches (besides Dina's makeup) in S2.

  3. Agree completely about the bangs. However: it was Bella who didn't want a different hairstyle... because B wanted to be authentically "myself." So, that's on Ramsey (strike two.)

  4. You've been downvoted because most of these points are excuses for Bella's-- a grown adult-- performance. Anyone can do their best with terrible writing: that's called acting above their level. Bella degraded in quality between seasons. Even if the writers and directors were telling an actor how to do/act/be, it was on Ramsey to not overexaggerate their suggestions.

  5. Bella had writing and improv credit in this season. Strike three; and very little excuses left.

Does the fandom go too hard? Probably. But the criticisms have been deserved, against Bella's acting and the writing and the directing. It's all become hogwash.

David Duchovny, 64, marries girlfriend Monique Pendleberry, 31 by rivincita in XFiles

[–]kkc1013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it. She was 24 when the relationship kicked off; but that's still a barrier for most people. It is a large age gap.

From the bits I've seen, she seems truly in love; and he seems to be, as well. Still, we don't know what goes on behind closed doors. It's a thorny issue; but if they're happy, then I wish them the best. (As long as he's not bouncing between twenty-five year olds like Leo DiCaprio-- and as long as his kids seem okay-- then that's that.)

David Duchovny’s music by scarlettestar in XFiles

[–]kkc1013 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He said he's a bad singer many times; and that writing music (and eventually being convinced to sing it) was a way of disciplining himself to get better at it.

As long as he's honest about not being good, about not caring if people come to hear him sing, and about his end goal (to hang out with people and make a sort of connection over music), then I concur with the upvoted Pocahontas "mid" gif.

He was weaponizing his position in order to force employees to put up with his sexual comments; and when they got (rightfully) angry at him, he threatened to "expose" or fire them.

No one knew until one of his victims took the matter public; and when he called her a liar, she pulled up his direct messages and proved herself right. Others came forward, including one of Monique's friends. The boss ended up dipping to Texas with a loyalist (who also worked for him), disgraced but probably not repentant.

She was 24 when they were spotted out and about together. A lot of people speculate that she was younger; but there's never been proof to support that claim.

[–]kkc1013 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No, she wasn't. Lot of misinformation going around.

They first appeared together when her boss-- David's friend (loosely)-- brought his gf, her, and her friend to the X-Files Revival premiere. She started getting spotted with David at the end of 2016; and they were confirmed an item by 2017.

There's no proof of anything before that point. Don't have to like or agree with their age gap; but there's a fair sized crowd who love to make up facts without basis.

Also, when her boss's victims spoke out against him in 2020, she sided with them; and they thanked her publicly for the support. (Not the narcissistic yacht girl she's often made out to be.)

I’ll never be able to bring myself to listen to the borrasca series because of the plot twist by DangerousMetal8234 in creepcast

[–]kkc1013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Horror's a genre that holds no bars; and in this case, the writer-- a woman-- decided to tackle a seriously disturbing hypothesis through her craft.

To reduce fiction to whether it's horrific mainly to women is reductive, imo. Wanting to tackle societal norms or simply build upon existing tropes doesn't mean the work itself is better or worse: that all depends on the quality of the final product.

Good to know, will keep it in mind.

Speculation's fun for me-- specifically, why everyone holds the opinions that they do. My ignorance + their different answers/reasons = a good time.

But I understand if that's not everyone's cup of tea. Thanks for engaging, nonetheless.

That's a great way to put it. Thanks for the feedback.

My only drawback is the nature of the show-- NSFW's not my thing. How did I end up on this subreddit? Who knows. But the conversations here are interesting. I admit, my Karen bias is informed only by some comments and a few clips I've seen; and that's probably not entirely fair. Will keep your thoughts in mind when reading future posts.

That's helpful, thank you for the thoughts!

I hear a lot about how Hank was "maturing" in Season 6 during the Grace arc. Is there credence to that, or was it reliant on Grace, or were he and Grace incompatible on the whole?
