Board 8 > I hate the left.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I dislike the right, too. I don't watch Fox News, I'm pro-choice, and I think it's stupid and silly to see people rally for Trump, pretend to be Christian, and completely turn their back on their fellow man if they're of a difference racial background.

But the left is something I interact with on a daily basis. This is usually on social media outlets, particularly Twitter. I'm sick and tired of seeing people get offended over nothing. I'm tired of seeing people immediately take the side of a rapist accuser without any proof. And I'm tired of the bigotry. "We preach tolerance, but if you disagree with us, then you're a bigot!"

(Believe me when I say I know someone like this. He both bitches when people praise Nintendo on E3 events, and he once said all old people should move on so the new generation can take over the world)

I deal with seeing hivemind mentality on a daily basis thanks to Twitter trends. Disagree with someone, most especially a feminist, and expect to have them RT it to their followers to have them dogpile you because you're, to them, a sexist asshole.

Social Justice has never - and will never - accomplish anything. There are two genders. Chromosome syndromes affect less than 1% of the population.

(If your gender appears on an Unown chart, I will cease communications with you immediately)

Most notably is the Smash community, which I am from. There are tons of whiny children that have to post drama on a near-daily basis. "This person hurt my feelings" is a common outcry in the community. You can attempt to run someone over with your car, but God forbid you either make a tasteless joke or call out people for bad behavior.

In terms of the left, this is less related to textbook liberalism, on a political platform, or what the political party stands for. This is more about the people who claim to be feminists (yet are sexist) and think that bitching on Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr will get anything to change.

(For the record, I stay the fuck out of politics in a big way. Unfortunately, I see leftist crybabies on a daily basis on Twitter)

Learn to stand on your own two feet and think with your mind. Joining a bipartisan group just puts you at war with your friends.

It's like when you remember that one porn vid you found when you were 16 and you spend hours trying to go find it just so you can satisfy that primal urge, knowing full well it's completely pointless and won't actually satisfy you that much, but you simply can't stop searching anymore. It's a magnificent blend of lust and nostalgia that you just cannot ignore.

And then you find it, breathe a huge sigh of relief... and fap. You can't just not fap. Sure it was more about the search than the actual vid itself. And you SHOULD just go on with your life and not have an intentionally shameful fap. But you do it anyways, because you think it will justify all that ridiculous effort you spent searching. It doesn't satisfy you at all and you regret everything. You forget about it entirely the next day.

I wonder if Rango will remember us.

You clearly underestimate how good some fap material I had when I was 16 and lament the loss of.

I actually recently (i.e this year) found the full length version of a video I saw many years ago and it was better than even the clip previewed.

What is wrong with either? One is providing jobs for hard working Americans and the other is a good stress reliever and good for general health. It actually helps lower the risk of prostate cancer.

I think talking about this in generalities is not a good idea. Like in all likelihood whatever event or events you have in mind that sparked this actually are bad, but then trying to generalize this to "the left" as a whole is just not valid, considering "the left" consists of millions of people with different backgrounds and philosophies. Like sure, there are terrible people within the left, but that doesn't mean every or even a significant portion of left-leaning individuals are bad people.

Also I am a pretty active member of my local Smash community and have literally not seen any of this, though I admit the Ohio Smash 4 community is pretty chill as far as Smash communities go. (Other than seemingly inevitable PR drama every 3 or 6 months or whatever it is, but I digress.)

The website you're repeatedly linking to is actually based on feminist junk science that has been debunked multiple times by actual doctors and scientists.

You're actually agreeing with Western Feminists, Vlado.

I also agreed with them when the hollywood rapists were exposed. Problem?

I tend to agree with facts and factually based arguments, no matter who makes them. The site in question cites its sources clearly, anyone can check them.

In research invited for submission to the journal Socioaffective Neuroscience of Psychology, authors Steele, Staley, Fong and Prause used EEG testing to examine the effects of visual erotica on the brains of people who felt they had problems controlling their porn use. Fifty-two sex addicts, including men and women, had their brains electrical activity examined while they looked at erotic imagery. Sex addiction theory predicts that these individuals would show brain patterns consistent with that of cocaine addicts, who demonstrate specific electrical changes in the brains activity, in response to drug-related cues. Sex addiction proponents, from Rob Weiss to Patrick Carnes, have long argued that sex and porn are like cocaine in the brain.

But, when EEGs were administered to these individuals, as they viewed erotic stimuli, results were surprising, and not at all consistent with sex addiction theory. If viewing pornography actually was habituating (or desensitizing), like drugs are, then viewing pornography would have a diminished electrical response in the brain. In fact, in these results, there was no such response. Instead, the participants overall demonstrated increased electrical brain responses to the erotic imagery they were shown were just like the brains of normal people as has been shown in hundreds of studies.

Ah, but the sex addiction proponents might argue that this is because these porn addicts have a stronger response to sexual stimuli, and that is why they are addicts. This is one reason that porn and sex addiction theories are so tough to argue they are unfalsifiable, by presenting opposing things as part of their theory, and having very fluid arguments, that explain when data or results dont match their theories.

This is where the authors of this study were very clever. The researchers included measures of sexual desire or libido and multiple measures of sex addiction in the questionnaires they administered to the participants. The EEG results of this study were predicted by the measures of libido, and there was NO relationship between measures of sex addiction to the neural measures. In other words, the EEG findings of increased response to erotic stimuli were consistent with the responses of people who have higher levels of sexual desire. The alleged sex addicts of this study have brains that look like those of other people, who have high libidos, but dont identify as sex addicts.

Another part of this sophisticated analysis is that the researchers looked at the different tests that measured aspects of sex addiction/hypersexuality, and at the tests that measured libido. They then conducted statistical analyses to identify if any of these test results varied consistently with the difference in brain responses. Again, the tests of sexual addiction had no connection with the neural findings. But a significant portion of the change in neural responses was explainable by the participants level of sexual desire when a participant reported higher levels of libido, they also demonstrated lesser neural responses to the sexual stimuli they were shown. This was a somewhat surprising finding, suggesting that people with high libido may find pornography less novel, and thus have less neural response this is consistent with some other studies, which have shown that those with high levels of sexual desire have less response to visual erotica. But this is not unique to sex addicts, and was predicted by levels of sexual desire, NOT symptoms of sex addiction. Higher rates of sexual addiction symptoms, no matter which of three scales of sex addiction were used, had NO relationship to the neural response to the erotic pictures they were shown.
---

Porn addiction advocates will surely cry Aha! See, there it is, porn addicts have a LOWER response, and thats why they are addicts, theyve been desensitized. But remember, it was the measure of libido that predicted decreased neural response, not measures of sex problems or even porn use. Even amongst the study group of problem porn users, there were varying levels of libido. And, just like other people who dont have problems controlling their porn use, it is the higher levels of sexual desire that predict this decreased effect. Lots of people with high libido have this same effect, but report no problems controlling porn use.

The argument is that porn chemically alters your brain to cause addition, which actual studies show it does not. It's called "your brain on porn" because they believe it does, and it's clearly been debunked, tying no actual chemical changes to a person's brain related to porn addiction. Even porn addiction websites have agreed that your brain on porn is wrong and that it undermines key concepts of why people do become addicted. But that's the thing, the addiction is no different than any non-chemical inducing one. You could put out a website called your brain on video games and get the exact same results because they're based on people with pre-existing brain issues falling into a certain addiction. Whether it's porn, video games, television, etc.

How is the exact cause relevant beyond wasting time arguing about nonsense? If you can get addicted to it, it's a problem that must be rooted out. THAT is what matters.

Don't worry, we hate you too. With your propensity to get offended over every little thing, like people changing their gender, or whatever else you're upset about. To be honest the whole post was tldr.

The thing about research is that you can publish anything in a low impact shit tier journal regardless of how shitty your work is. Even in high impact journals you can publish shit. Actual researchers in the field will rip it apart. Dumbass 'journalists' not in the field who don't understand the methodology, rationale, background etc and are unqualified to actually critically interpret the data will glean what they want from the paper at face value.

The journal Socioaffective Neuroscience of Psychology is a shit journal with a nearly non existant impact factor for bullshit research that can't be published in a real peer reviewed journal.
