It is weirdly popular with the kids, I really dont get it but both my neices were into the idea (they are 7 and 9 years old)

I guess it helps that my brother and sis in law actually did good stuff with it instead of weird/creepy stuff like moving shit around. My sis in law baked cookies in the middle of the night a few days before Christmas just so she could put them out with elves.

My youngest neice was SUPER hyped that her elves "made cookies" for everyone.

Great if it makes the kids happy.
I checked the google images and people do dumb shit with the elves. REALLY dumb shit.

That porn thread makes a few valid points but draws some ridiculous conclusions.

Biggest issue with porn imo is the fact that it gives unrealistic expectations of what sex even is or should be (or even how biology works in some cases).

Not to mention 90% of the women are completely hairless. Hell at least half the men are too.

That last quote sure is something. I'll just shake my head at this author and say no.

It seems like he's taking his point to the extreme and mostly opinion based.

Like 6 of them were 10+ pages, which I know isn't a lot but it wouldn't have bothered me as much if she hadn't said "I'm giving you less so you read the other thing" a while ago

oh... That's not too bad.. maybe you would've been given more to read, and this is less than what you would've had to read.

I'm just going to take a small moment here to bitch about something, feel free to ignore this.

I'm taking this American Literature class online, and we're supposed to read from this book that has stuff from lots of authors with a short bio of them at the beginning of their sections. So about two weeks ago the teacher's like "Hey I'm assigning less reading because you have to start reading your other book" and that week it was only 3 authors and like 1 story from each so I'm like cool. Next week is a bit more but not much. This week it's 6 authors, 7 stories, and so far like 4-5 have been long as fuck I'm not sure because I'm not done yet. Like why, what the fuck happened to "less so you have time to read The Jungle"? This is absolutely dumb and I'm going to be lazy and not read everything.

So who wants to Xrd in about 20 minutes?

The fact that all people in porn being completely hairless bothers the fuck out of me, it's not normal.

Plus you're right in the sense that it makes it so unrealistic.

Not gonna lie, happened to me when i was younger. And you're right, there are valid points, but all porn leads to taboo and illegal shit? Really? Come the hell on.

Strength of the Sword kickstarter has gone up some 800 bucks in last 40 minutes, which is roughly 10 times faster growth than on average

It's interesting to see how youtube videos affect numbers

I would hope not since you shouldn't assume students are dedicating all their time to your class. I'm probably complaining more than I should because I'm lazy but like 60+pages this week plus more reading in another book for this class, then reading two chapters in a cultural anthropology book for another class, and probably more reading else where kind of bugs me

Yeah exactly, the unrealistic thing bothers me a lot not even just strictly because of porn but because of stuff made to cater to audiences specifically in a sexual way, it gives people really goddamn weird views of women and how to talk to them, also it doesn't help the fact most people can't seem to really control themselves as it is, influencing their decisions and tastes and perspectives in weird ways.

Unfortunately I think it happens to a lot of people.

And I know, in fact the exact opposite could be argued. Sexual repression leads to deviance more often than not, porn is a (potentially) healthy form of sexual expression and release that shouldn't be shamed.

Ofc there are always boundaries and too much of anything is bad, but that's where personal responsibility comes into play.

And any valid arguments, which this person did have, can be undone by the ridiculous conclusions they have drawn.

This also goes into the issue of not having proper sex ed and so many parents refusing to have realistic conversations with their kids about sex, so where do pubescent kids end up learning about it? Church, where they shove abstinence down your throat? Porn? TV? It all sets bad and unrealistic examples.

Repression is a big problem. After all, the only people obsessed with food are gluttons and the anorexic.

Man I wish I was good at fast-paced games like that, because that game looks sick.

Did they say what platforms it was on?

I wholeheartedly agree. But it's another one of those things where a middle ground needs to be found, since repressing all of that kind of thing is just as bad as unashamedly showing them/telling them everything which will also mess young people up.
You know how people are, they jump from one extreme to the other.
