Does 'rape culture' accurately describe (many) societies?

[catsmate]

Clearly, opinion is just fine here.

What are you referring to?

 

[catsmate]

Everyone here knows that porn is a disgrace.

"Every knows" are wallpaper words, intended to cover over the gaping holes in your "argument".

 

[catsmate]

Loads and loads of - that's correct isn't it?

Oh look another strawman. You're attempting to move the goalposts from 'porn' to 'misogynistic porn'.
And what exactly constitutes 'misogynistic porn'?

 

[catsmate]

Stop trying to be socratic.

And trying badly....

 

[Poem]

Nope

Please tell the thread what you would be protecting a child from if you had the chance to intervene where an adult was about to (or was having sex) with a child. We know that you do not know if there is any material difference between the above scenario and an adult scratching the child's back. I mean, you wouldn't intervene if the adult was doing the latter would you? - so it follows that you wouldn't with the former either. You'll CMIIW.

Society has a way of taking meaningless things and influencing people to give those things meaning. Everything from awards to money to sex. Nothing unusual there.

No, I'm not. Any meaning the act may have is a result of the individuals involved.

Again, you double down on individualism even when we are talking about an adult having sex with a child.

Or you could have answered the question(s). You won't answer because it means acknowledging that simulation (of CSAM) does influence behaviour which would force acceptance that all porn is doing so.

Yet another strawman.

 

[catsmate]

This is a debating forum; asking questions is normal is it not?

You aren't going to answer are you?

You're not asking questions , you are making insincere assumptions and creating strawman arguments upon them.

Yet another strawman.

How so.

 

[Poem]

You're not asking questions , you are making insincere assumptions and creating strawman arguments upon them.

But no demonstration of such.

 

[catsmate]

That it's Darat's opinion is a distraction which you are using to avoid answering; in the UK it is the law and amounts to the same thing. Quit wasting my time.

Darat's opinion amounts to the law?

 

[catsmate]

Not my ethics - but it proceeds directly from the nihilistic pov.

This is utter rubbish.

 

[catsmate]

I'm beginning to suspect the reason Poem is hung up on objective morality is because as long as everyone gets to decide their own moral boundaries, the position that "if some couples agree that watching porn is cheating, and other couples don't think of watching porn as cheating, then SOMEBODY has to be WRONG" is incoherent.

Or well could embrace the subtle options of accepting that different people have different standards. But thats crazy talk .....

 

[Poem]

This is utter rubbish.

A time waster. Nice.

Darat's opinion amounts to the law?

You aren't following are you.

 

[catsmate]

Maintaining it's me against everyone is a fantasy- and I have presented lots of evidence

No you haven't.

 

[catsmate]

It's what can happen when one watches porn with actors of legal age who are presenting as underage...which is a point you have been resisting.

Evidence?

 

[catsmate]

Nihilist Friedrich Nietzsche predicted it would destroy all moral, religious, and metaphysical convictions and precipitate the greatest crisis in human history. (IEP)

So what?

 

[catsmate]

How so.

... a logical fallacy where someone misrepresents, exaggerates, or fabricates an opponent's argument to make it easier to attack or refute

 

[catsmate]

A time waster. Nice.

Then stop posting time wasting nonsense.
