Hello, my name is Gloomy, from barleynews.wtf

Would you allow us to cite your comment in an upcoming article about the link between consumerism and a new AI driven trend, where an app takes random screenshots of you during your day and posts them to your social media account with AI enhanced captions fully automated?

One hurts a bit more and a bit longer.

Thanks for the context. Might have been caught up in the crossfire, but very worrying indeed.

Shit. Would you provide a source please?

That's a sane take on a emotional matter. I agree.

We've had some success here with a program called "Don't become a perpetrator". Pedosexuals (which is the scientific term for people attracted to minors without acting upon their urges) could enter, as long as they hadn't committed any crime in regards to children or consuming illegal content. They could get psychological help as well as a chemical castration. Preventive approaches like this should be more common.

The local BDSM clubs male participants are like 80 % doing something IT related. The overlap might be bigger than you expect.

I don't disagree. It also doesn't prove your point though, so we are back to square one.

Maybe this is of some relevance for us, i came across it in another discussion a while back.

It's a study that looks at CFSM (Child fantasy sexual material) and tries to determine, if it makes pedophiles more or less likley to assault children in real life.

Unfortunately they arrive at the conclusion, that we don't have enoth studys to know yet. I would assume the same to be true for violent porn and rl sexual assault. But i am happy to be corrected, if you have the data to back it up.

Ah, the german approach (used mainly between 1934 and 1945) 😉

Violent pornography was weakly correlated with sexual aggression, although the current evidence was unable to distinguish between a selection effect as compared to a socialization effect.

If anything, this points towards the opposite conclusion. And that is with zero nitpicking.

Meanwhile the population study seems to suggest porn usage reduces sexual aggression, or is at least correlated with it.

The last sentence of the abstract (More studies with improved practices and preregistration would be welcome.) seems to be adressing this. In the study itself they say:

A third group of studies considers relationships between pornography consumption and sexual violence at the population level (e.g., Diamond et al., 2011; Gentry, 1991). In such studies, changes in the population rate of sexual crimes are associated with changes in the availability of pornography, often due to changes in the law. Cross-nationally, most (though not all) such studies suggest that pornography consumption is correlated with reductions in sexual violence. However, such data are correlational in nature, and third variables at the societal level may also be responsible for these patterns.

You said, at the start of our dialog, that:

Regardless, there are tons of studies showing that consuming this kind of porn actually helps prevent people from acting on these fantasies

"This kind" refers to violent porn, i suppose? Because the study states that:

Our meta-analytic results reveal no relationship between exposure to nonviolent pornography and sexual aggression.

So they are not talking about "this kind" of porn.
