  bro thought he said something smart

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ways of designing intimacy in games - GameDeveloper⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Not to the same degree.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ways of designing intimacy in games - GameDeveloper⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  So, your opinion is that any and all violent content is never a concern, and is appropriate for any age, even small children?

  “So YoUr OpInIoN iS” shut up lol. I didn’t say that. I just said violence is much different than sexuality, and thats reflective of how society treats the two topics in media.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ways of designing intimacy in games - GameDeveloper⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Sex is so much different than violence. Sexuality is something is developed over the life of a person and can be heavily influenced by early exposure. Where violence isn’t spurred on by video games (unless you are one of the boomers complaining that video games cause violence) because shooting people isn’t a part of normal life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ways of designing intimacy in games - GameDeveloper⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure but what does that have to do with what I said?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ways of designing intimacy in games - GameDeveloper⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  No, I just don’t want needless sex in my games. I don’t care to make it illegal or anything but I’m speaking out that I do not enjoy sexuality in video games and think if that’s something people desire, they can find that sort of content elsewhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ways of designing intimacy in games - GameDeveloper⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Continuous exposure to sexual content throughout childhood can have significant effect on their sexuality later in life. I don’t think the same thing is true for shooting games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ways of designing intimacy in games - GameDeveloper⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Having sex is probably something you will do in your life, mass murder is not.

  I would say this exactly why one topic is more sensitive than the other. No one goes around killing aliens with ray guns, so there really isn’t much to emulate there. Whereas sex appeals to our biology and on young impressionable children, it could have significant impact on them to be continuously exposed to it through media.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ways of designing intimacy in games - GameDeveloper⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  “No one should make content that I don’t personally approve of” is one that I would categorize as worthy of criticism.

  Who said no one can make content if it has sex in it? People are just saying they don’t like it and everyone is sperging out about how children should see sexual content because they also see violence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ways of designing intimacy in games - GameDeveloper⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you consider masterbation sex? because uhh it isn’t

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ways of designing intimacy in games - GameDeveloper⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Unironically yes. Pornography appeals to our monkey brain in a way that violence doesn’t. Violence in media is just an expression of conflict.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ways of designing intimacy in games - GameDeveloper⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you recognize that some people may have different values than your own and it’s ok for them to strive towards upholding them? You are not losing anything in life by not having pornographic scenes in video games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ways of designing intimacy in games - GameDeveloper⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Why is it sad? Some people want sex to be a private thing that individuals do outside of the public eye. Not everyone is a coomer who wants to revolve their life around sexuality. Just because people have different values than you doesn’t make it sad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨But I wanted to be somebody famous!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  We’re talking about ex theatre majors, not people who work in media. I went to a college with a renowned theatre program and I can say first hand that they are easily the most insufferable people of any major. I’ll admit that has colored my opinion quite a bit. The entertainment industry is notoriously nepotistic and the only people from my class that had success were those with rich dads who were connected in the entertainment scene. This breeds contempt amongst them and it’s palpable when you are hanging out with them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨But I wanted to be somebody famous!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  there is a reason, theatre majors are annoying and contribute very little to society.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨But I wanted to be somebody famous!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  then whats your point? pretty sure you know what it means

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨But I wanted to be somebody famous!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  theatre majors are the most annoying people on earth and I will hold firm on that statement

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"The "fediverse" is the future of social media"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  its way worse on mastodon. if you want proof do to mastodon.social/explore and look around

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"The "fediverse" is the future of social media"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The current userbase of Mastodon are the most self righteous fart sniffers of old twitter. hopefully this will improve over time but half the content is complaining about twitter and how much better their little circlejerk of a community is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I believe science but I don't understand science. Does that make me religious?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Consensus does not mean something is true or even accurate. Plenty of historical examples of this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I believe science but I don't understand science. Does that make me religious?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes there is. Plenty of experiments require millions to billions of dollars in capital to make the same observations that you are trusting scientists to be honest about. This is a cope take. There is plenty of blind trust in the way the general public understands science.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I believe science but I don't understand science. Does that make me religious?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  How can anyone possibly produce meaningful results on something that requires billions of dollars of capital to do so?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Philosophy meme⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  so do you disagree with the original post?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Philosophy meme⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  wait until this place hears that killing babies is bad as an objective moral truth

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Open for discussion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Can you imagine what would happen if the criteria for getting away from a cop after a crime is just “drive fast for a little bit”? Can you imagine the chaos then? The issue is that there’s no distinct line between chasing a criminal and becoming a high speed chase. Are cop cars not allowed to pursue fleeing criminals at all? Just if they’re all going the speed limit? But the moment they go over the cops have to bail? Sure, maybe they should lean into drone technology more, but I really dislike the idea of letting criminals get away, as it will simply inspire more criminal. I believe the amount of carjackings would skyrocket if getting away was as easy as driving fast.

  You can disagree with me all you want but there’s a lot more to this topic and there’s a reason why cops chase down criminals in nearly every country.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Open for discussion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  My opinion was “no I don’t think we should let criminals get away because of a freak accident”. It’s not that serious, I saw a post on my frontpage and I commented on it. boo fucking hoo, you’re pretending like my relatively milquetoast opinion is some moral failing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Open for discussion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  do you understand how ridiculous you sound

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Open for discussion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not complaining about people disagreeing with me, I’m complaining about people wishing death upon me. And to be honest, I don’t really care, but I think the fact that people are willing to stoop that low over simple differences in opinion is demonstrative of the quality of person I’m dealing with. I’m just a dude who has some opinions that would only be controversial on a place as terminally online as Lemmy, who are often completely consumed by the culture war nonsense who believe any criticism of your own side means you are supporting the other.

  You seem like a heartless and knowingly thoughtless person who feels entitled to be heard but not to listen or abide by norms, complaining of the wounds others have put upon you but silent about your own transgressions.

  Get a grip on yourself. This line is hilarious when you consider the context of a disagreement in a comment section.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Open for discussion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This all seems like excuses to justify someone wishing death upon another person. Btw, this showed up on the frontpage, and I’m not going to read the novel of rules for every single subreddit (or whatever the lemmy equivalent is) I participate in. Although they do have the right to ban me (which they did and I’m not complaining).

  tl;dr wishing death upon other commenters is fine as long as they are posting something that is disagreeable

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Open for discussion⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  lemmy.world/comment/3879109 here is the comment wishing death upon me.
  I’ll keep searching for the one that threatened to hack me and dox me as a pedophile who raped kids. It actually wasn’t in either of the two threads mentioned, it was another thread.
