Epidemic Growth of PORN!!!
 

'Epidemic' growth of Net porn cited
Oh, how society changes... Whatever happened to Truth or Dare? :tcry:
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/...et-porn-cited/

OH NOES! SOMEONE PROTECT THE CHILDREN!
Because it's clear as day their own parents aren't doing it.

Don't even get me started on the whole myth of innocence...

No no, we should for some fun.
lol, yeah I agree with you, it's become part of society, hell across the globe not just North America and East Asia, it's acceptable to see people cycle through "lovers" like a woman cycles monthly!
YES, I JUST WENT THERE!

Wow, they're comparing this to the BP oil spill? That's low.

internet filter 'nuff said

Dude, if the kid was so innocent how would the kid know about porn let alone be on the internet looking it up? Who looks up that crud anyway?

I remember the days that I actually had to hide my porn. Now I just leave it on the desktop. :)

Pornography fuels the mistreatment of women. There are a lot of guys that look at women as sexual objects. To them it's like having a car, a video game, or a box of cookies.

It's disgusting, and on par with racism in my opinion. Everyone should see each other as equal, and have respect.

I'm not going to compromise what I know is right, just because a percentage of society is engaging in it.

and video games are murder simulators

... I never thought about it like that. That is a really interesting opinion.

I really want a box of cookies now though.

In my opinion, some video games are, actually.

All I can say is they shouldnt worry about the porn right now. Sexual innuendos and promiscuity are all over the place. Magazines, billboards, TV, radio ads, video games. Look at the way some of the female characters in cartoons are dressed, even. Plenty of kids watch MTV which is basically sex disguised as beauty/glamour. Childrens pageants where they judge them in bathing suits, make them dance like strippers & sh!t blah blah blah... Girls are bred to be pieces of meat in this generation. As for the boys, those kids didn't find porn on accident. They looked for it, got caught and lied. They only feel interested/stimulated by being exposed to innapropriate things at a young age via TV. Don't worry about us losers who needa jack off now & then, worry about what your kids are being brainwashed into thinking is acceptable.

...As bad as the oil spill eh?

So, every time I bust a nut at pornhub I'm killing sea turtles? Damn.

Yeah, I have no clue where you get this idea from. Maybe you've been watching too much Jersey Shore.

Porn helps people relive built up sexual tension and video games help relive stress. Both are things that cause people to be violent so I hardly view them as negative.

When I was like 12 we got internet in my house and my Dad had website blockers in place on our internet. If he was using that **** 10 years ago to stop me from looking at porn wtf is stopping parents from doing that now?

I have that idea based on what I have observed in society. I don't watch Jersey Shore.

People that look at pornography enjoy it, so I don't expect them to stop.

Mostly, I don't care what people do behind closed doors. I do have my opinions, and sometimes I like to tell them. I don't know why I bother tell my opinion though, it doesn't change anything. It probably just pisses people off.

Misogyny fuels the mistreatment of women, not porn.
Oh sure, you can find misogyny in porn, just as you can find it in just about anything. To try and pass them off as one in the same is to take away a woman's agency in fulfilling her own sexual desires.

What I love in this article is the idea that it's only been in the last twelve years that girls have been "programmed" to see themselves as sexual toys for the menfolk. As if Western Culture hasn't been turning that crank for the last couple of thousand years.

Hell you don't even have to go to a history book, go look at the thread: Do you prefer your women in make up. Wear too little make up and you're not desirable and unworthy of attention. Wear too much, and you're one of those horrible social outcasts: women who enjoy having sex.

You make some good points.

Overall, I don't know what the hell is going on here, or why I decided to post in this topic.

Most of the people here probably don't care what I think.

I'm glad this forum has the Role Playing Game section, because that's my favorite section. That's the only reason I even come to this website anymore. Once that's gone, I will be gone too. I'm just not getting any enjoyment out of the other parts of the forum. There are not any new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles episodes to discuss with others anymore.

Sounds like you got some self-confidence issues there, buddy. I'd take you seriously if you didn't stake your whole opinion on the cookie-cutter "everyone makes me sick" mentality. But whatever.

Self-confidence issues? Yeah, I might have some. I'm not sure about that. I'd like to be taken seriously.

Because women don't watch porn. Right? RIGHT?

What about gay porn? Surely that is ripe for mistreatment of women, right there.

Yeahhh.

I'd love some real examples, but that's getting off-topic.

Blaming porn for ruining Children's life are idiotic on the same level as blaming video games, comic books, movies and rock'n roll for society's problems.

and siding it at the same scale of horror as the oil spill... wow people are pure idiots. A Oil spill is a local Armageddon ruining life. Porn is a product of a industry aimed at adults. Fuels mistreatment of women? I'm sure the female professional porn actors and directors have something else to say.

If parents want to blame anyone for sexualized little girls view of their own value, how bout the mainstream media playing on sex every freakin' time, or Barbie and Bratz dolls, High-school musical movies.
Or just take a good look in the mirror, talk to the children, control their Internet use. Put on some filters on stuff you don't want them to find.

Parenting isn't any harder or easier then it was a hundred years ago, it just require taking interest in what the child is doing, and act a bit.

Whatever. Enjoy watching your porn. I don’t care. Just make sure you clean the keyboard before someone else uses it.

Thank you. I appreciate that.


How about the ‘Manhunt’ video games? Those are real examples of murder simulators.

Yeah, the people involved in the porn industry are making money. So I’m sure they won’t say anything bad about it. Some people will do anything for money.

That’s bullsh*t that children’s toys like Barbie and Bratz dolls should be blamed. Porn is part of the problem for women being looked at as objects. Face reality already.

This is like a smoker that defends smoking, just because they are addicted to it.

Just so I'm clear here, on your reasoning.
Porn is to blame for the objectification of women.
Children's toys are not.

Care to explain why?
Where's the difference?

Especially considering the toy you're defending is Barbie of all things. The doll of choice for unrealistic body types.
(http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/image...parison466.gif)

Also, just as a hint. Want people to take your opinions seriously?
Stop calling everyone who disagrees with you "addicts" or "out of touch with reality."

....Plastroncafe is a chick. So females are to blamed for watching porn and abusing other females?.... My brain just went dead.

Yes, porn is to blame for the objectification of women.

Barbie dolls and other such toys are for children to play with.

Porn is for adults to perv-out on. There's no love involved, only lust.

Parents should tell their kids that Barbie is only a toy, not a body model to follow.

I have action figures, such as DC Universe Classics and Marvel Legends. They look 'cooler' with the unrealistic body type. I wouldn't prefer a fat, short, out of shape Batman. That doesn't mean I'm going to try to make myself look like Batman. It's fantasy.

You're right, I need to stop with the 'labels'. I shouldn't tell people they are 'addicts'. If I want people to take my opinions seriously, I should tell my opinions to a group of people that think the way I do. Everyone wants others to agree with them. I suppose we would have no issues here if I simply agreed, and told you what you wanted to hear.

So, closing statement, I would have been better off not telling my opinions. Mystery people are never disliked, for there is no reason to dislike them. I said some stuff you didn't like.

Come down off your cross, man. We need the space.
Sheesh, I can't tell what's worse, the mansplaining or the passive aggression.

But little girls will be influenced by what they see around them. You said it yourself, you'd rather have a fit unrealistic batman then a fat short guy. Even though there figures are totally unrealistic, children are small and easily impressionable, they will pick up on those unrealistic figures the toys have and try to attempt to get them as well. You can't say toys don't influence little girls to preteens to have that perfect figure they grew up knowing everyone wanted and was represented through their toys, can you?

I can totally see where you are coming from with your opinion on porn, but it is your opinion and doesn't mean everyone needs to have it. So chill man, can't we all just get along?

I regret posting in this topic. I really do. I’m going to try to learn from this experience. Because I think a lot of people think I’m an asshole when I tell some of my opinions.


Yes, I agree with you. You’re right about the dolls and action figures. What you said makes sense to me.

I welcome peace.

Why don't you quit while you're ahead, man.

Oh wait...

Yeah, that's a good point. :D

*leaves the 'porno' topic forever now.*

You know, I'm also not a fan of porn, but if I ever try shoving my opinions down anyone's throats like that please shoot me.

Manhunt is not a murder simulator, when does it ever properly learn someone how to properly kill someone? You push buttons, you don't actually wield the weapons. Nor does it train you to keep your calm while killing someone. You can't train on a video game to become a better killer.

it's like saying I'm becoming a better guitar player playing guitar hero, I'm sure people want to hear me play "Through the Fires and Flames" just because i can play it decently on medium.

Pornographic imagery have existed since mankind created art, there is fertility statues dating from the stone-age, Females in the medieval times was very sexual, the whole freakin Greek mythology are one big orgy. There exists Porn movies dating back to the 20's.

Porn is just a scapegoat like so many other things have been

95% of porn is so ridiculously ****** that it makes me either laugh or feel nauseous.

No way dude. I love porno and I've always been a great boyfriend. Some girl I met the other day even told my friend that I was a "gentleman" :D

People that hate on porn are either religious and have to do it out of guilt, or are women. :)

Yeah, I know I said I wasn't coming back to this topic. Well, I'm back. What are you going to do about it? I changed my mind. Oh well.

I am religious. That's part of the reason why I don't like porn.

I do believe that a lot of guys that look at porn don't respect women. Nothing is going to change that belief. Even if I didn't have any religious beliefs, I still wouldn't like porn.

Here's the part you seem to not be getting. "Guys that look at porn don't respect women FACT" Is what you are saying. That is not a fact, that is your opinion and nothing more. You do not speak for the entire male gender and it's completely ridiculous to say things like that. I know a lot of men that watch porn, and WORSHIP women.

I'm a male who doesn't watch porn, not because it "Objectifies" women, but because I find it disgusting and girls with implants and lots of makeup don't appeal to me. Would I watch it if I didn't find girls with millions of dollars of plastic surgery to be revolting? Maybe. Do I not respect women? Of course I do. I respect women more than men in a lot of ways. Most of the people I look up to ARE Women.

2/3 works for me :D

I watch porn, and respect women.

But i'm just one guy and not a lot of guys... That would just be creepy
