@eramaster12 @Asmongold @singhisking1229 @McJuggerNuggets Yes, half of them are likely above 50, that's what an average means. The overwhelming majority sit between 30-70.

Their intelligence is hampered by a genetic disorder, to which nobody would wish upon a child. If you wouldn't want it for yours, I would argue for genetic screening

[Nivexity @nivexity]

@eramaster12 @Asmongold @singhisking1229 @McJuggerNuggets I didn't say it was a disease, it's a genetic disorder, and my point hasn't changed. You're acting like it's bad to use genetic screening. You realize people with down syndrome on average have like 50 IQ, right?

If you could prevent your next child from having it, would you?

[Nivexity @nivexity]

@eramaster12 @Asmongold @singhisking1229 @McJuggerNuggets Either you're for screening, or you're not. If you're not, you're basically pro-diease and disability for newborns instead of taking a sample of eggs, fertilizing them, screening and using the most safest and viable one for a future offspring.

This increases overall well-being.

[Nivexity @nivexity]

@eramaster12 @Asmongold @singhisking1229 @McJuggerNuggets Correct, nobody wishes for a kid with down syndrome. It is important to provide IVF and genetic screening to prevent these births in the future.

You seem to misunderstand my post. You said X hasn't experienced Y, that doesn't negate their opinion, nobody would want Y anyway.

[Nivexity @nivexity]

@Usagi993 I do, but I don't think it's weak to follow your own values while against the rest of the world. It'd be weaker to give in and be controlled by other people's values.

Similar to challenging the status quo on controversial topics.

[Nivexity @nivexity]

@Usagi993 Depends on one's values.

If he valued Ellie more than others, his action is justified for him alone, that's a classic villain arc.

Eren destroying the world to protect his own country was the claim, using game theory to justify his action.

Ozymandias in Watchmen is another one

[Nivexity @nivexity]

@Usagi993 @LordCWalker I'd argue the opposite, someone strong would challenge the world in order to protect their values.

It's why villains are better when you can sympathize with the values they protect against the rest of the world.

It's weak to give in and let the world control your values instead

[Nivexity @nivexity]

@ihate2O Simply put, when you say X normalizes Y, you haven't explained the mechanism by which this occurs. If you can't, then you're saying it without any understanding as to why, only that it sounds correct.

Using these words without explanation is rejected throughout all of sociology.

[Nivexity @nivexity]

@ihate2O Furthermore, again, if you cannot explain your own jargon, don't use it. I know it makes you sound correct when you use words like normalizes, escalates, desensitizes, etc. None of these words are self-evident by themselves, they shorten a process for which you can't explain.

[Nivexity @nivexity]

@ihate2O What you're doing is cognitively dissonant, I provide an example of what you're likely using to presume your conclusions, yet ignore it when I'm asking you to explain your own sociological jargon.

[Nivexity @nivexity]

@ihate2O There's no evidence for this claim. What you've done is presumed something is true, and acted like it were true.

For example, you might be pointing to a correlation between porn consumption and sex offenders, yet what also correlates is mental illness, lower IQ, addiction, etc.

[Nivexity @nivexity]

@ihate2O The evidence is clear, when possession became legalized for a period of time, CSA cases dropped. Just because a well peer-reviewed study is controversial and older, doesn't refute it's findings.

Your criminal data would be on criminals, not avg people, aka actual cherry-picking.

[Nivexity @nivexity]

@ihate2O For many years, desensitization toward committing crimes has been disproved in all cases. If it were true, then we should get rid of all pornography that isn't missionary consensual fantasy, including anything that triggers the same brain dopamine responses like violent media.

[Nivexity @nivexity]

@ihate2O I framed it as a hypothetical but this observation is evident. A famous one regarding Czech Republic, Denmark, and Japan (10.1007/s10508-010-9696-y).

Sociological jargon like normalize/desensitize, these are entirely "presumed to be self-evident" claims, yet require explanation.

[Nivexity @nivexity]

@ihate2O Hypothetical, if it was found that using outlets and allowing the exploration of fantasy using fiction, leads to a reduction in child sexual assault, would you support policies that allows such fictional content?

[Nivexity @nivexity]

@ihate2O So we agree, you're a moralist. You think their values are bad and so you provide feeble advice. You act like you're helping others by judging them while hating yourself.

This is against core principles of re zero's moral philosophy.

[Nivexity @nivexity]

@plusheyman A detailed sketch of a anime child and a child can be identical if you ignore facial features, representations exist.

You're suggesting that a pedophile can't think fictionally about their attraction, nor use fictional representations to sate their fantasies.

I'm not a moralist

[Nivexity @nivexity]

@ihate2O Your "advice" is a presumption about the values of another, you've judged X as bad and suggest to move away from X in favor of Y and Z.

I don't care about your intention, if you're incapable of understanding the logic of your own comments, then I can't explain the problem to you

[Nivexity @nivexity]

@ihate2O The values and experience of another's is being judged from your own shallow perspective. Your advice is as crippled as your moralist mindset.

Should probably have learned by now from re zero that your "good intentions" doesn't make you a "good person," nor does hating yourself.
