QUOTE If you do that, people against experimentation with burritos may protest ( I just saw the last Sherlock Holmes movie trailer and people are screaming about the slaughter of the novels ! ^^).
Exactly why i won't let them know. Get my drift?
QUOTE Just as people against the rape of women protest here. It's just that many many more people are against rape, and think that rape is a much much serious crime (well, except in the anime community, maybe).
As far as i've seen, rape of real women are frowned upon.
QUOTE Otherwise, your argument is "It's ok to change something only if it's the worst thing in the world".
Take the fight for the end of the segregation in the 50's in the USA. Worst things were happening in the world at that time. Would you have say "People are dying in Starvationland, you should focus about that instead of wanting to sit where you want in the bus" ?
Real women and children getting raped vs. basement-dwellers masturbating to rapelay. I'd say the children and women have to be dealt with first.
QUOTE The internet allows a lot of people under the age of 18 to access 18+ content: people who are more easily influenced because their minds are still developing. They might know enough to realize that rape is wrong, but maybe the content in general teaches them that women are inferior and don't deserve full respect (to make an example). It's highly probable that these groups are fighting indirect impacts, rather than just "people who see fictional characters being raped become rapists".
This is where "parenting" usually comes into play.
QUOTE It's not that the people viewing the material are causing crimes, but they're influenced to make intellectual associations that negatively impact other people in the real world.
I don't get how choosing 2d women over real women has any negative effect. If any i guess they could celebrate that the 2d vs 3d population will eventually dwindle.
And on that note, there are a lot of stereotypes being shown on the TV and in the movies. Even in books such as the Da Vinci Code, the Communist Manifesto, etc. Even websites supporting terrorist groups. Not all the people who view the material actually support its contents yet they can still view it and are able to enjoy it. It's called maturity.
I know a number of Christians [Catholics and Protestants alike] who've read the Dan Brown movies and enjoyed it, but they don't believe what's in it is true etc. Why?
It's fiction. And right now they're still religious people, how nice.
QUOTE We are some of those people of smaller number, here.
And you are one of the most. One year in the outside world trying to socialize and what not, this stuff ain't for me. It's back to work-basement-work lifestyle.
