  Oh I agree completely, it’s how I got into drawing as a kid. It’s why I am so passionate about this, I do not want the world that I currently know to change. I have my lust in one and my love in the same, life is well and it is decaying far before I became aware. Now I make up for lost time.

  I even wrote a poem for my kids about how intertwined the birds and the bees are with the self. Sex is natural but it can become corrupted. That is why it annoys me for blaming one thing, these people can only get defensive as their ego is larger than their reading comprehension. I blame not sex, I blame the culture.

  I mentioned 4chan because I noticed trends in thread behaviors and topics on /gif/ their porn subreddit from around 2014 to now. The site known for overflowing gay/trans, cuck and blacked threads suddenly has a huge bias towards white male superiority. This was always true in discussions but it massively shifted the titles to being very conformative. I see it as a tool being used to get people emotional. Before 2024 it was genuinely nothing but threads focusing on black male superiority and cuckolding.

  These trends suggest to me a way of creating biases internally. Make someone angry at a certain demographic without really doing anything but changing their porn feeds. Since it’s basically the uncensored tiktok. They gave them an easy ethnic group to blame for the cuck/blacked/lgbt threads, the same rhetoric used in ww2. (Not to say I support any of their current actions in the strip) I can at least admit that it made me have preconceived notions and fear, created a huge distrust issue. This is why I think the fappening and pepe news were more just publicity for the site and then activation respectively. Call someone racist when theyre not and they might give up on trying to not be. People get whittled down and beat, it becomes easier to succumb to bad ideology because it is inherently reductive and simpler.

  Yeah them being gooners is not an issue, but it’s the lack of voting and devolution that becomes an issue. For me I found that porn will eventually bore and you will seek new extremes within it, it’s how the same guys on 4chan constantly share stories about craving dick and then regretting it. Boredom and men are whores usually, easier than actually trying. It is a craving for intimacy misconstrued. (Not saying anything about lgbt folks, just about 4chan degens)

  So as they devolve they can channel their hate and blame. One of the easiest ways is to vote against those they hate, not realizing they vote against themselves too. Vote for their benefit and it is your benefit. However, they can only see what they lack and not what they have to lose. They are the same losers in military cosplay bullying civilians(the waters below freezing), power feeds their lust. Little lapdogs not realizing the kennel they put themselves in. The kennel they will build around every person.

  I mean most of this came from my own interests rather than actual scripture. It just clicks in my head because it seems obvious. What doesn’t apply is my assumption that others can understand simplicity, hence why my responses are in depth.

  Fasting is done routinely as a dopamine reset and allows you to realign your interests agnostic of chemical influence. Driven by sheer self. This is in islam, variances of these fasts exists in all religions as you give up indulgences to remember your humanity and not your wants.

  I once heard a therapist say the best way to check if you have a weed problem is to stop for 2 months. If you can or can’t, then you know. It’s true of most things.

  The demon exorcism story of Jesus and Legion. He drives out the ‘demon’ (which are artisfically rendered as some horrific entity, while just being state of minds/mental instabilities - hence why early christians were called Therapeutae, or therapist) He casts it from the man into the pigs who in a horde rush the waters and drown.

  The name Legion is a way of making commentary about the current political powers oppressing people and forcing this form of self-censorship. How illegal immigrants cannot openly talk about their issues while being just as equal humans, hence needing to strip their rights and fear monger.

  Anyways Legion is a pseudonym for the Legionnaires which were the Roman military fleet and the primary antagonistic actors and the pigs are a mockery of them. How those who trust them are killing themselves. Kinda like those who vote for certain political parties to have oppressive power.

  Jesus can’t save you but the people can save themselves. There’s lots of artistic flare - it’s mesmerizing to decipher.

  Rapture just speaks about a social collapse. The same one in exodus, with the Romans, with Muhammad and so forth. That’s why it is a fine balance of moderation between indulgence and reverence. Swing one way or the other too heavy and a collapse happens.

  The buddhist middle way.

  I forget nothing, it is natural and that is why I am arguing against overindulgences and not the basic principle. Then again you can only see materiality in the context of god because your inner self is so small.

  I am saying that overindulgence and fixation in lust becomes a prison. Why?

  Look at marketing and media, it becomes a distraction for people and their vested interest. Intentionally meant only to distract and detract, afterwards one can lead you anywhere. Even to stagnate when look at waves at all current fascist developments but if you are so well versed then you know the Christian narrative is deeply against it. We literally get the fascist pig insult from the demon Legion, a commentary on the brainwashing the Legionnaires/Rome as a state pushed unto their citizens via fear and deprivation.

  Only difference is now the person willingly goes to it because they wanna see some fat titties online with no effort, so when they try and fail to get real fat titties - they become angered at the disullusionment and blame the person rather than their own ineptitude. Division is good for those in power.

  Lust is only called an invader or offender in your words. I call the culture that constantly pushes this into media and marketing as detrimental. Along with how easy it becomes for kids who are alone, with 2 working parents who can hardly raise a kid, they will fall into sheol and toss away years because it is immediately rewarding in their brains.

  Let me make the example clear. Sugar is good for you, it is the most easily bio-available form of food for your cell. Protein needs energy to digest and fat is not soluble alone nor immediately usable. So it is a great thing, it even feeds your gut biome!

  Now how can it bdcome bad? Over indulgence. Sugar causes a dopamine hit, kids bored at home regularly snack and eat a lot. If not some countries (you know the one) add sugar to their breads, peanut butter, and almost anything else. Why? Addictive and makes it taste better, it’s why medicines go down easier with a spoon of sugar or however the saying goes. Well, this bombardment of sugar overfloods your dopamine receptors, raising the levels of dopamine they need to actually trigger joyous feelings.

  It is inherently harder to feel happy, not a good thing. Even though sugar is a good thing.

  Sex is fine, lust is fine, it is the overindulgence and ineptitude that is wrong with incel culture. They are gooners who blame others and take no responsibility nor do in moderation. They feel only rage.

  Explaining this made me realize it also feeds into that cycle, as it is a big factor. I would jork my shit until I was shooting dust and aching, but kept going. I was massively overweight and had diabetes, both kinds. I was killing my pancreas and building a resistance to insulin. Why does it feed into it? If you are unhappy, jorking it gives you a fleeting and immediate controlled dose of happiness when you are a depressed sack of shit like I was.

  True but fasting generally is a system reset. Sugar is essentially in everything and Americans over indulge it, so imagine going your whole life with a way higher tolerance to dopamine due to your diet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sexualized video games are not causing harm to male or female players, according to new research⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly, and the material prison I speak of with lust is this mental state with the incels. Surround someone with nothing but sex that is purposely meant to sell you something and dxploit your basic animal desires, you create a situation in which you make it easy for incels to form.

  Incels forming in large clusters supports and pupports these bad habits of each other, then enabling the behavior further. In turn also normalizing and trivializing it as a subject matter.

  You for some reason are making this about you and other normal people who have the cognicent ability to be rational. The issue isn’t you nor is it video games or any one thing specifically. It is the bombardment that exists in marketing which in turn leads to the media as well being overblown with it to sell. My argument essentially is the same as sugar that the rest of the world would criticize America with.

  You put sugar in everything. It is causing a dopamine constant release, in turn raising the bar for it to actually make you happy. Hence, most people with sugar overload have a harder time finding joy. Most people don’t reslly understand the biochemical response to things we ingest, and much of it is the same with porn.

  If an incel ever actually had sex with a woman he didn’t pay, he would realize how starkly different reality is. That porn is edited and made perfect with angles that cant really be matched and is a completely different experience. They don’t enjoy sex or jerking off as much as they enjoy the momentary disullusionment with their reality.

  Video games just have a bigger influence with porn fixation due to it allowing direct 3D models and translation into SFM or blender animations. Along with it being fully fictional and having the same effect as hentai, being fully digital allows full control about what is and isnt. Losing the flaws of reality that make it beautiful. There is a reason hentai is more popular with kids, just how games are.

  Sex is great but this glorification and marketive exploitation is not that. I don’t know why you felt the need to involve any gods in the dialogue of human pitfalls due to corporate gain and political actualization. It’s almost as if the same group who I blame for facilitating, and using, the issue to their benefit are the same followers of the name you invoked. I wonder(the answer is yes) if they have made outcries and dogwhistles that specifically speak to these folks.

  Anyways if you do not like the god that is, make a god that isnt.

  Oh absolutely, I am a huge gooner. Had 12tb in an organized server with sections and whatnot. /r/playitfortheplot is legit just a bunch of gooners who give no shits but for sex and often miss the point of games.

  A dude literally called Nier Automata a gooner game. Like bro it is one of the deepest games about what it means to be human. Sacrifice and duty. Yet the dude only saw tits and cared not at all for the narrative or reason. Mindless ghouls.

  I never disagree with that, it should exist and should be allowed. However, it flows abundantly and becomes the primary reason for a lot of gamers.

  At least in the past it took some effort to mod as they followed some form of decorum. Allow the nudity and it changes no difference.

  Yes, lust is a material prison to gooners. It literally is how we get the incel problem who feel they are mandated sex for being male yet understand little about actual social situation.

  Not because of games, but because they are facilitated to get that release and enjoyment constantly with little to no trouble. Specially vulnerable are the young who suffer from a lack of understading for the higher value in self control and moderation.

  Then again, you focus on video games and not the culture spoken of.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sexualized video games are not causing harm to male or female players, according to new research⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You speaking of the culture around is really important. That culture is part of the coomer and gooner problem which seems innocent and harmless/inoffensive to others but it is much more insidious. It essentially creates less of an actual reason to interact and a false sense of body expectations.

  Essentially the otaku/neet problem japan is facing. People don’t know how to interact with the opposite gender and when they do, they do so with their sexual interest as the prominent reason. Most people innately reject this forwardness based on appearances and the rejected will not understand how it is their fault they got rejected. There is little to no decorum or respect.

  It’s essentially a self feeding, lust-driven antisocial cycle that creates angry and dejected incels. It feeds into the other frustrations and creates a very spiteful and resentful person. I personally believe this is intentional after observing 4chan trends, as it creates easy people to manipulate. (Fappening grand invitation on Fox news, then the pepe dogwhistle to embolden those who are racist, while outraging those miscontrued - which eventually just is embraced)

  Extreme emotions create easy to predict reactions, just point them at the person you want them to blame.

  It’s not innately videos games or media, but creating an entire culture that completely surrounds them does. Lust is one of those material prisons that is naturally inclined as it gives you good feelings. The internet overall has allowed kids to get endulged into this culture without any real risk or entry cost, long before they are of adequate age to understand the intimacy of reality.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨when ur higher than sagan⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My point exactly, something I could control easily and not a single action.

  Diet and exercise normally isnt done to fix issues but to dilute them. You can only ever do so much. People cannot know all, next best they offer a gentle suggestion and just know they wish you longer health.

  Then again diabetes and the complications thereof do not seem like chronic conditions to you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨when ur higher than sagan⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was overweight my whole life. Never tried fasting, dieting, or exercise. Suddenly did at the age of 24 and would you look at that? Constantly doctors telling me, even my diabetes was confused which one it should be, then the life of my love appeared before me.

  It’s better to extend a hand of help in kindness, and possibly corrected, than it is to do nothing at all.

  Assumptivity only helps those who have been helped.

  Ah, the disconnect from the material actions and the immaterial consequence. Such a place to get lost in. I fear sadly the world is more lost by the people who do act with intentionality. Just not all act with good faith, nor with full conciousness. It is not their fault our inherent society allows such nature to proliferate, it is just sadness from which we must make beauty. i wish the world to know how to pull from the nothing, something more.

  It fills me to the brim to know you can see the way your cup fills at the marvel of our stars, at the patience within your meditation.

  Relationships like this can be draining because you wish to compensate or match somehow. So it creates almost a directionless frustration of inadequacy.

  It is how I felt when my love would work 2 jobs and I had so much time and couldn’t really do chores because of my upbringing. Making it a threshold I had to cross as an adult.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To answer your question, yes, they are draining.

  Why? Well you are living with another, who was not raised like you, live like you, or grew like you. Completely different and in each of these minutiae of differences you can find issues. Essentially it works in tandem with expectations and why they are still wanted.

  It gives you emotional comfort, it gives you physical comfort, and above all else you start to form a union. Something so uniequely both of you that you have changed and so have they, in ways you couldn’t imagine alone.

  It is your parent and your child. Someone you will care for, and someone who will care for you. It keeps you grounded from flying to high, keeps your mind to consider someone before yourself.

  The benefit is the world becoming dominable, while nothing has really changed. A partner is a helicopter parent because you tell them who you are and what you want, they just remind you of your own expectations and keep you faithful to it.

  They are just a mirror of your own wants, needs, and wishes. So it is your own actions and words that will reflect.

  If it is draining, it is because you have not interacted enough with the world to realize you are always being drained. Finding something of meaning to pour into becomes fantastically magical. Suddenly you are no longer drained, it is a willful action to pour and be captured by a vessel of your choosing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4D Salmon⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not much of it is untrue though.

  Gilgamesh, the oldest story explores the fight of man versus death. Disullusionment of immortality and acceptance of passing. So we deeply understand the psyche of Gilgamesh’s journey, venture, and emotion. Hence we know him beyond his time. We traversed back through preservation.

  A more personal example is how the mind constantly pulls itself back into the depths of their misery. Entrapped in a moment, a time, a memory that no longer exists. The same way we can see the possibilities of futures.

  As for the body - think cyberpunk. Soulkiller, extracts the mind and kills the body. If the mind can be extracted, then it can be injected. Also known as avatar culture as seen in hindu and some east asian cultures. Raise them with the philosophy, logic, and culture. How do you extract the mind? Write it down.

  Jesus was symbolized as a fish. If he does ‘return’ it’s easy to imagine the way he does.

  Take any body, name it correctly, and then you can have it travel back in time just like skyrim represents. Literature. Time almost warps to humans when we apply meaning. It is why the bible enthralls people. The body cannot return, but the mind can.

  Great things to be unburied, but it is quagmire. Hence, the constant vitriol spilled forth.

  Terraria I feel would be closer as stardew valley is a one man job. Terraria grew as a vision that hasn’t really strayed beyond, but every update instead chisels the stone more. It is a game that took castlevania/mario inspirations and honed it into a perfect conception of 2d sidescrollers but with a liberty. (Akin to stardew being the first real open farming sim)

  Redigit did amazing on the original SMBX fangame. Basically took the concept, and removed constraints. You can see the differences in development ethos as new people came on and really created a diverse game. It is so groundbreaking in their conformity that most can only compare to Minecraft, something essentially extradimensional to terraria.

  Imagine being so baller you get compared to a game that puts you in control of shaping the world around you. When terraria is a game that predominantly shapes you around the world. Eventually even adding lore to these shapes it forms out of you.

  Are you the summoner? The fisher? The knight? The archer? The farmer?

  It’s the core tenet of daoism or even japanese empirial shinto.

  You are born and you are raised through the suffering of your parents. The world gave something up to form you, what it gave forms you.

  Self promotion and sex sells. Along with a bit of superiority and contemporary absurdism.

  It’s funny because it’s a lady who’s aesthetic stems from a very self detrimental culture. Objectified and then sold to the masses as a fetish. Which then is promoting the same ‘shaming’ that the culture itself was born from. However because it can be worded in equally absurd terms, it comes across as comical. In a pathetic kind of way. The way any normal person can just be baffled by.
