I've heard this sea change largely attributed to the fall of the Soviet Union, which removed any pressure to continue selling capitalism to the masses.

That's the type of rhetoric they used against video games, rap music, and D&D.

"Saying you don't need privacy because you have nothing to hide is like saying you don't need freedom of speech because you have nothing to say." - Edward Snowden

A smutty harem game, "Fresh Women". Please tell me this isn't just a hypothetical....

From what I've seen the gay community is full of 'friends with benefits'. Seems pretty great. Sometimes I resent being straight, where monogomy is basically the only option, and any attempt to break out of it would make me look like a creep.

I genuinely can't distinguish between satire and reality anymore.

I do find it uncanny how consistently this happens. I won't speculate as to why or if it's good or bad - but I do find it really off-putting when I'm trying to relax and recuperate after sex, and suddenly I'm getting slapped with some existential question or interrogation about the nature of our relationship (even after getting married).

With the cropped version my imagination filled in the next frame with the ring getting violently ripped from her ear....

but this is much more horrifying.

People that try to shame or attack others for their preferences come off as sad and petty to me at best, and borderline fascist at worst.

There's endless systemic injustices and harmful ideologies to spend your energy fighting - stop trying to convince me to be angry at age gaps, men that prefer shaved armpits/pussies, women that prefer tall men, etc, etc.

I swear some of these people still want fascism, they just want it on the opposite side of the spectrum.

If he really wanted a fair debate he'd do it in a properly moderated forum like Intelligence squared. Or better yet a written debate where both sides could properly research their responses and provide sources.

What he wants is to Gish Gallop a scientist in a friendly environment with an idiot moderator that couldn't fact check his way through a 3rd graders homework.

Maybe it's a location/age thing, but I missed out on all that. I always made it clear up front what I wanted, and they'd often indicate they're on board initially - until things got serious or an opportunity actually presented itself, then the insecurities came out and suddenly it's all "Am I not enough for you!?"

In the latest case she really had me convinced, even though an opportunity never arose to put it to the test. Told me she was bi, said she wanted to see me with other women, said she was cool with an open marriage - everything I wanted to hear. It was only after marriage & kids that it became apparent she was NOT actually ok with it.

Funny that you're having the opposite problem. Grass is always greener...

Once you've seen one pair of tits....

....you really want to see the rest of them.

One of the best open source projects of all time.

See, that's an example of a much better argument than "porn exists, stop being a creep".

Sex is too important to be left to porn.

Not saying this guy in particular is right, but I hate this attitude that "porn exists so we shouldn't have sex, or nudity, or anything horny in other art forms". We shouldn't treat people like creeps just because they want more horny in mainstream art.

I find the current cinema trend of "everyone is beautiful, but no one is horny" far creepier than the rampant sexualization in old 80s movies.

The taste of toothpaste lingers for a while and ruins the flavor of breakfast, especially orange juice.

The Way™ is Coffee/tea/juice to temporarily overwrite that morning breath feeling, then breakfast, then brushing teeth.

Can't compete with elf pussy. Beren didn't steal a Silmaril from the iron crown of Morgoth himself because of Lúthien's personality.

Their tp is all scratchy and thin though...
