Sexualization in video games does not appear to harm players, according to new research published in Computers in Human Behavior. The findings indicate that playing video games does not lead to misogynistic views or detrimental mental health outcomes.
Theres an argument to be had about AI generated cheese pizza, and large pieces of plastic being child shaped. Ive always been of the opinion that its fucking gross, but if it was to save even one child, it would be worth it.
Yeah, its morally icky. But Ill take icky morals, over actual hurt children. The government where I am disagrees, and has made both of these things illegal. I understand why, I just cant help but wonder if having access to these things could stop actual children being hurt? Like if theres a market flooded with AI generated pictures, it might, at some point, drown the market for actual pictures. Theres always going to be pure evil in the world, but if we can get the numbers down. Surely it has to be worth a try?
I dunno’ about worth a try, because I don’t want anything to do with bringing that vile of shit in to this world, even fake stuff.
Though if the science tracks like it does with violence, it should in general lower actual offenses slightly. Though there are always fuckheads out there that will want the real thing.

Pedo alert
what i meant that people don’t always care about the facts (of whether it actually does harm) as can be seen by your
You’re not wrong on it increasing pedophilia but nobody’s going to respect pandering to or defending pedos. As … should be obvious.
I mean, if it decreases rates of sexual abuse I’m all for it.
