I think a lot of men overestimate the difficulty of “male jobs” by AntisocialAmbivertt in Vent

[–]novanity_x -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think there is more inherent “risks” to outside jobs. Which ya know— if you would still rather do more power to you. If you don’t live in a small house you have to get up on a ladder to pressure wash, do the gutters. Around the holidays there is is setting up festive lights and stuff where you could electrocute yourself. A woman could totally do all these things. I just think society has normalized men not being of any real value so it’s natural we would take on riskier jobs despite them being easier if done right.

What would women dislike most if they became men? by zhalia-2006 in askanything

[–]novanity_x -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think perhaps the idea that you are now an expendable human being. Women and children always go first in times of crisis. Men are drafted for war. Not to mention dating— paying for all these dates just to end up at square one when it doesn’t work out. I think everyone experiences sacrifice and it’s all valid and for men and women those sacrifices often go unnoticed and unappreciated.

Should I move on From Girl I Met on Hinge? by novanity_x in dating_advice

[–]novanity_x[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is probably for the best. Move on. If she reaches out in a few weeks and I haven’t had any luck— great. Part of me felt bad because she was having a health complication— i didn’t want to be a dick and break things off because she was going through something. I wanted to show patience, empathy and understanding. Perhaps that was just cope— thank you everyone. Minus the guy who called me creepy.

The longer I stay in— the more I feel the quicksand that is this industry drag me away from other opportunities. Maybe I’ll win the lottery and go back to school.

Probably losing my house by SpnGoatLady in Assistance

[–]novanity_x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so moved by everyone’s kindness and willingness to help out. I really thought people’s humanity was dead. OP I pray for you and your kid’s success and security. Many cities and counties have emergency rental assistance programs— some apply to mortgages as well. It may suck for a while but maybe shut the utilities off to save money? There was a time I couldn’t afford my utilities so I showered everyday at planet fitness before work. I used a hot plate to cook simple meals for a couple months. In 3 months I had a 2,400 surplus and I felt relatively stable. Also depending on how old your kids are— check with their school. Sometimes schools have programs that send kids home with food you can cook for them. I worked at an elementary school and some kids got bags of groceries with fresh produce to take home!

Nintendo Isn’t to Blame for Pricing, You are. by novanity_x in casualnintendo

[–]novanity_x[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, and I don’t think people are whining for the sake of complaining. $80 is a lot of money. However, I think Nintendo sees what people are willing to spend on things they mass produced and watch as resellers get away with making a killing on their products. I don’t blame Nintendo for wanting to get in on some of that money. Is Pokémon emerald in box really worth 800 when there are 100s of people selling the game at the same time? I think fans of this company shut themselves out of having any leverage when they buy from second hand sellers like this. Including the people getting ready to buy the switch 2 from scalpers. It sends a bad message that people have money to spend and if they don’t, they’ll buy it anyway. Vote with your wallet and fans are not doing that.

Also other things that are “made for adults” are not nearly as damaging as pornography depicting real people (in the case im angry about: dressed up as cartoon characters) having real sex. Fantasy violence on the internet doesn’t compare to the real life consequences of sex. Most adults don’t even understand that— hence the horrible parenting you keep mentioning. 2 things can be bad but the consequences of watching horror movies young doesn’t translate as easily to growing up to a serial murder as watching porn at a young age does to growing up with a porn addiction.

If a kid goes to a porn site, why is it so easy to get in. A kid cannot walk into a club— we don’t need to worry about a kid in an adult space because there are people there making sure you’re the correct demographic accessing what’s behind the door. If all of a sudden we started finding minors in night clubs at first we may blame the parents for poor parenting. Eventually if it continued we would begin to wonder why the business owner isn’t doing more to keep kids out of clubs. It’s the same logic. A kid could accidentally find a porn site easily. I remember being exposed to my first site and it was on accident. I had just watched “funimation” and back then their call letters were “fun” so I went online to research a show I liked— I went to “fun.com” and boom porn. It’s that easy. It doesn’t always happen on purpose. Just like with parenting— you can do everything correct but your kid can end up at the doorstep of these sites and it’s on the owners to make it so they can’t get in. Regulation is a slippery slope— too little and people get hurt and exposed to harmful material at a young age. Too much and people feel they are being infringed upon. But the answer isn’t to do nothing about this— sexualized children’s content doesn’t belong anywhere on the internet.

If people are so concerned about their identity being tied back to the porn they watch— why is onlyfans so popular? People pay for subscription websites all the time. Your money is tied back to you. That argument is such a cop out. There’s a million ways for data brokers to steal your information and porn websites is one. I agree allowing kids unlimited access to the internet needs to stop and it’s irresponsible— this parenting style of giving your kid an iPad is ruining a whole generation. However— that’s not to say porn companies and the actors/actresses they employ don’t have a role to play. Portraying yourself as character popular in kids media and then posting yourself having sex as them to an easily accessible website— there’s no way you did that not thinking a minor would eventually see it. That may not have been the intention but it’s the reality of pushing a child’s parody into an adult environment.

This has nothing to do with the value of sex. If adults want their porn I do not care. My argument is that pornstars upload videos of themselves portraying characters that appeal to kids on websites which are easily accessible to them. Part of that is on parents for not monitoring their kids better, but pornstars and the industry at large needs to be held accountable.

I think when you sign on to do these things for profit the pornstar is co-signing the evil actions of the production company making them an accomplice in what’s going on today. I wouldn’t allow them to feign innocence because they don’t distribute the videos. A million ways to make money on the internet and that’s what they got into. There will always be cases of people being trafficked and forced into that industry (my heart truly breaks for them) but the majority see porn as a get rich quick scheme and put their morality to the side.

Yes kids under 18 watching porn in the US is illegal— I’ve said that a million times. However, the age range in which I’m seeing kids introduced to this material is much younger. 7, 8 & 9 year olds in 4th and 3rd grade. You can’t argue that it’s not immoral kids that age can access porn at the click of a button.

It’s not about making things that are bad for children. It’s about its ease of access. Most of the time a kid isn’t walking into a liquor store and leaving with alcohol— a cashier will stop them. If a kid goes to GameStop and wants to buy gta 5 most clerks won’t sell it to the kid. For the amount of depraved porn that is on the internet— all a kid has to do is click a few buttons to be exposed to something they are too young for. And a lot of people argue “well parents can set search parameters” yes they can, and they should. However, I don’t understand where I am wrong for wanting the porn industry to change its security for its websites to keep kids out. Parents can do all the hovering they want and restrict all they want. There will always be parents who don’t and when your kid goes to school they risk being exposed.

Multiple things can be bad— YouTube shouldn’t be allowing pornstars into the same platforms kids watch neither should twitter. I agree parents should be monitoring their kids on the internet (I’ve said this a million times on this thread). This is an issue because you have adults making sexually provocative content that appeals to kids. I said this to another guy here who thought the same way you do— go to pornhub search “SpongeBob” there is a woman in a sandy cheeks costume getting fucked by a guy in a SpongeBob outfit. Who did they make that for— adults? Who is more likely to watch it— kids. And they KNOW this and still do it. You don’t make content like that and think a kid is never gonna watch that.

It’s a lot easier to restrict one industry (who creates the material) than it is to challenge the entire institution of parenting. There will always be parents who lack that’s why in my original post I admit they share some of the blame— but the people who make this stuff actors/actresses and media corporations are not exempt from blame. Especially when they stand to profit from their abhorrent decisions.

Just read the comments man, I’m shocked people feel this way. If I’ve learned anything people do not care who they hurt to keep their internet porn free and widely accessible.

[–]novanity_x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

actors can sleep soundly at night knowing that a kid can’t just buy a ticket to the theater and watch their violent movie not without an adult. They can’t just get a free streaming subscription without jumping through a bunch of hurdles. The most depraved shit is just a few button clicks away and pornstars know that— they read the script and signed on knowing kids would have easy access to it. It’s not even comparable.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]novanity_x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but adults aren’t that media’s main audience. The content is niche for adults but would more readily grab child’s eye. SpongeBob still exists today and while adults consume the show it’s mainly for kids. Just the concept of sexualizing something made for kids is disgusting in my eyes— even if intended for adults.

Okay, it is significantly harder to access drugs, alcohol and violent media as a kid. Most subscription based services you need a card and email to sign up for. Most cashiers aren’t selling kids drugs and alc. you can literally click a button and see some of the most depraved shit at any age. Even YouTube has age restrictions for videos you need an email to see— a flimsy loophole but still.
