Alright, fair, I’ll take the note on your use of deviant as a response to my unfathomable comment. I’m did not mean to imply your thinking was deviant, as that word comes with a negative suggestion, just incomprehensible, but I understand the ambiguity. So I retract my comment on victimhood with that new context.
I don’t retract the rest of my ire though, sorry, and now I’m confused as hell, because in what world are people who engage in casual sex the same ones berating people for being horny, and how is that relevant to the conversation at hand? I feel like I accidentally skipped a couple important chapters in the book that is this discussion.

Show me where I said we should reject all human progress and revert to animals.
No, I simply said we should evaluate the social choices made by humanity, even ones as old as clothing. I’m not saying we should reject it all; I’m saying we should be thoughtful and investigate these things to find out if they hold true or not.
Personally, I think in the case of nudity and shame, we’ll quickly find it doesn’t really hold much water beyond empty religious mumbo-jumbo.
And who exactly is calling you a deviant for liking clothing? Was it not you who came in with the statement, “Nudists are weird people and I wouldn’t accept what they have to say about sexuality at face value,” and now you’re trying to act like you’re just responding to some sort of victimization from nudists of all people after throwing the first punch? Come on, dude.
But I’m sure it all does just come down to religious mumbo-jumbo bullshit for you because you said “perverts who enjoy casual sexual encounters,” as if a healthy casual sexual encounter is somehow a “perversion.”
So, like… grow up and get better opinions, maybe?

My guy we are literally the only creature on the entire planet with a sense of shame who covers are body. If you don’t think there’s benefit to at least understanding why this enormous difference exists, I can’t even begin to fathom what your mind is like

I’m so confused by this post.

So this is a weird one… I’m seeing in the post details that there’s 8 comments on this post, but none are showing as visible to me.
I’m also not seeing anything in the modlog for this post… so where are all the comments?
Did we decide to start fucking shadowbanning on Lemmy or something or is there some other explanation here?

- Comment on If the entirety of the internet was a computer simulation how would prove it? 1 week ago:
Personally, I think it’s extremely unlikely. That’s why I think Apatheism is the way:
The theist says there is a God with certainty, and atheist says there is no God with certainty, the agnostic says we cannot be certain the existence of God, and the apatheist says “guys why are we wasting our time stressing out about unknowables? Let’s go get a pizza.”
- Comment on If the entirety of the internet was a computer simulation how would prove it? 1 week ago:
This suggests a cosmic reason or purpose, yet I find no evidence for that conclusion exists.
There just might simply not be a “why”?
- Comment on If the entirety of the internet was a computer simulation how would prove it? 1 week ago:
Absolutely. But the harrowing part is realizing this applies to some folks we deem delusional in the context of our world too.
- Comment on If the entirety of the internet was a computer simulation how would prove it? 1 week ago:
My friend, we cannot even prove that our entire life is real.
We know the human mind is capable of extreme delusion, we can observe this in mentally unwell patients who are convinced their delusions are reality.
So if we acknowledge the human mind is capable of delusion, delusion so strong to be certain in its veracity, then there is no way that we can confidentially conclude that anything and everything we know isn’t delusion.
So in short, there is no way to definitively prove the internet is real because we can’t even definitely prove that reality is real.

For extra accuracy you should have made it a repost with tons of engagements of an original post by a different users with barely any engagements
- Comment on Giant Bomb, a web site about video games, has been purchased from Fandom 2 weeks ago:
I agree with you, but I do believe that is an unrealistic expectation for interacting with casual lemmy posts when a custom of including relevant context exists. But all good, I’ll admit my lack of awareness on this one; you did nothing wrong.
- Comment on Giant Bomb, a web site about video games, has been purchased from Fandom 2 weeks ago:
It’s been covered in tons of gaming circles this week alongside the similar destruction of Polygon, so I didn’t think it needed to be stated yet again as I was summarizing bullet points from a live stream.
Very fair and valid.
I will attempt to gently state that this is c/games, not c/gamingcircles and thus many of us are very interested in video games but not necessarily the industries on the periphery thereof, so what seems “yet again” to you might be a first time for others.

“to what happened with Giant Bomb”
Boy I sure am glad that seemingly-crucial part of context was included in this post.

Well, we’re talking about mass market, supermarket butters in the first place here. Nobody is comparing these to boutique shop butters.
Beyond that, for me personally, I’ve always considered Kerrygold to be a very decent, better than Land O’ Lakes or store brand butter, but I have a preference for either Plugrà or Lurpak in my supermarket-available butter. Finlandia is also very good.

- Comment on Chrono Trigger Remake Seemingly Confirmed By Yuji Horii 3 weeks ago:
I’m excited to see if they turn it into a FPS or a Sokoban-type game, since we learned from FF7R that apparently you can radically change the core gameplay mechanic but still call your game a “remake” somehow
- Comment on Valve's invite-only Deadlock has an even more exclusive top-secret hush-hush version 3 weeks ago:
I know I’m an old head, but I fall all of these games (Deadlock, Apex Legends, Overwatch, whatever) to be fun for about two hours and then I’m sated.
I genuinely wish I understood the appeal because so many people seem to get so much joy from them.
- Comment on Recommendations for "girly" games? 3 weeks ago:
I can’t recommend Celeste enough, personally.
I will warn you that the platforming can be challenging, but if it’s too stressful Celeste offers almost unparalleled accessibility options that will allow you fine control over the difficulty so no matter your skill level you’ll be able to progress.
Great story, cozy atmosphere but still emotional impact, and the only “fighting” you do is against yourself.
Amazing game, highly recommend Celeste

What an insane comparison. Addiction to gacha games is nothing like sexual assault. Talk to any specialist in addiction and while they certainly will talk about the evils of the various systems meant to capture such prey (gambling, drinking, etc), not a single one will fully absolve the addict of their part in the addiction.
Period.
A person who is a victim of rape never walked into a rapist’s house and ordered a rape; there is nothing comparable about and victims of addiction.
You’re fucking disgusting.
