God I’m so completely sick of the pornogrification of everything- so much talk about sexual stuff in news, at work at school, at the pub. Grotty sick friendless men wanking up a storm In their parents’ basement. Makes me want to puke.

Your observation around becoming the object of desire, itself reinforced through pornography obsession is very relevant I think. This is a broader sense to thinking about AGP, erotic mislearning that includes the environmental feedback loop, so is a richer account. Thanks for your work.

This person needs to be locked up in a mental hospital.

I have to go boil my brain in bleach now.

Another marker of our end-of-empire societal breakdown. When I was young I thought decadence was cool. I liked the word. Now I am older and have more sense. Decadence seems self-indulgent, at best. Toxic and destructive at worst. These men, these boys, they are just sad, sad, shells.

I've thought about it a lot and I've decided I just don't like this kind of thing at all. In fact I am against it.

It should be illegal.

I don't think there is a way to make this kind of thing illegal. It's horrible and sinister, but I can't imagine a way to make it illegal that would not violate civil liberties.

What we can do is repeat, over and over again, that this is a significant motivator for men who identity as women and to insist that people stop pretending these motives are absent or rude and unmentionable.

I think you’re right that it can’t be illegal, but it’s horrifying and these men really need to be in asylum. They’re obviously insane.

yeah or at least some kind of public messaging about the harms of pornbrain. for example: it’s not illegal to be an alcoholic, if you don’t wreck your car or get in public fights the authorities are not going to intervene in your life no matter how much vodka you cart home from the store each week. But we definitely have a tremendous amount of public messaging about how alcoholism is bad for you and for others, we don’t pretend it DOESN’T EXIST or is NOBODY’S BUSINESS.

But the idea that being neck-deep in so much depraved content that you’ve lost touch with decency: oh heaven forfend anyone should say anything PRUDISH. Or that we should ASSUME IT’S ALL MEN (even though it is all men) and direct “consider reforming yourself” messaging toward them.

Good comparison! And yay to kink shaming.

There is Culturereframed.org (with Gail Dines) though that's mainly aimed at countering the effects of porn culture on children. But reach them early and maybe they won't grow up to be depraved adults. Not sure if that org makes a connection between transgenderism and porn though. Also how many people have even heard of CultureReframed or any other critiques of pornography? American social and business pressure crashed the late 20th century feminist movement against pornography. Leftist men and their handmaidens, save us from their "good" intentions (save us from right-wingers too, but that's a different discussion, I guess).

yes the sex industry pressure is tremendous and somehow leftists cannot see it even when they could when it was, say, cigarette companies insisting their product was harmless and paying for media support. Porn is a public health emergency but it's treated like private nunya business.

Well, no, they are increasing and getting exactly what they one, so not insane.

It's hard because we don't have words for this, but please know that "insanity" is the ploy most use when trying to not be convicted of murder.

That's rather an interesting statement considering how many illegal things society and humanity has been forced to accept these days. Censorship is rampant. It's illegal. Most wars are faked to siphon from the Treasury, also illegal. The list is long. If the controllers wanted to stop this (they don't, they're behind it all), they could. They locked us down for 2 years.

Okay, write the legislation. "no one is allowed to take creepy gross sexual photos of themselves". Does that sound workable to you? I can totally see workable legislation about pornography involving *other people*, Dworkin and McKinnon wrote smart stuff about this about how pornography is not speech because it involves risk and harm to the people doing the actual acts.

However. There are hard cases: what if someone writes or draws super horrible accounts of child sex abuse? I would love to push that person right into a volcano, but I don't see a way to actually write workable real-world legislation about it. You can't even say this creepy dude is engaged in self-harm. He is happy as a clam. He is degrading the social universe, sure, and that's super bad. But sometimes the only workable response is shunning and condemnation, not the law. I don't see how you could arrest this guy for what he is up to, even though what he is up to is awful.

It helps if you understand that everything that is "legal" in our system is imposed from above. We THOUGHT we lived in a nation of laws. It has become apparent that is not the case, and never has been.

So, my point is, you are getting tangled in the weeds they have planted. If you look at the situation again, I think you will see any attempt to use logic, the rule of law, etc. is just the system convincing us to not do anything.

We got locked down for 2 years. It didn't seem to matter one bit that it was entirely illegal. So, knowing that, I'm not sure why you remain a "believer" in the system and that somehow writing real "workable" anything is going to change this situation.

What will change this situation is us stopping these situations. Some things need to be outlawed. That is a true statement. So, change will be when All of us. Together. Take a stand. And we don't need a rule book or roadmap or legislation for that.

PS there is nothing worse than degrading the social universe. That's what has brought our world to the state it's in now, and it's why we have the 10 commandments, the golden rule, etc., all of which have been swept away, just like our constitution, the Bill of Rights ... get it?

I remember reading the famous French writer Jean Genet's biographical notes where he cited being abused while growing up in a catholic orphanage. He not only adapted to the abuse, but it became associated with sexual pleasure for him. For example, when he was spit on he would become sexually aroused. Or reflection, probably sado-masochism was forced on the children by the priests and some of the groomed children succumbed. At the time I thought this behavior was so unlikely and bizarre- now I see it can be spread on easily. Jean Genet wrote the preface for George Jackson's book Soladad Brothers in which Jackson states that women should never be allowed to express an opinion, but must listen quietly to men. George Jackson, the much-admired "revolutionary" also posited that in his utopia any woman who wasn't able to get married should serve men as a prostitute. See Paris Review 2015 Max Nelson and The New Yorker, Jeffrey Toobin 2014 This is My Jail.

When you "like" the article not because you like it (there's nothing to like except how insightful your points are - the topic is horrific), but because it's important that people see and read this stuff!

These perversions are so sick, and sickening. And the idea that there's a whole industry making big money off it, adds to how sick it is.

I keep thinking that this has probably all happened before, in advanced civilisations that succumbed to extreme individualism, narcissism and self-indulgence as decadence set in.

And it's difficult not to associate it, in our own historical time, with the legalisation and normalisation of homosexuality, as the magic key to opening the door to let out every form of sexual deviance under the sun, all clamoring to be normalised: not just the T exploiting the success of the LGB.

Dr "Christina" Richards justifying "ageplay" unconvincingly disclaims any connection to paedophilia.

But this time it's all given rocket boosters by the internet: and by outfits like WPATH linking to Eunuch websites, and proclaiming "Eunuch identity" for kids -- how sick can you get: when the lunatics have taken over the asylum.

And could this be why homosexuality is unacceptable in so many cultures? Not so much in itself, but for all that its social acceptance has previously unleashed in its train?

With women and children, as usual, most at risk from exploitative and narcissistic men. What's new.

Disagree. I don’t find it difficult at all to make the distinction between homosexuality and child pornography.

Historically, when gay men have become very prominent, open, and obvious, this has tended to be associated with a period of decadence or cultural decline. Camille Paglia has mentioned this.

PS Paglia is now “trans.” She was just an obvious ordinary lesbian for the longest time. But now that lesbianism is passé and being trans is all the rage, so many women who would be ordinary lesbians in a saner era are deciding that they are “trans” instead.

Um do you have any idea of how many women want to age play with men. I had two girlfriends who liked that. I played the father and she played the teenage girl daughter. These women suggested this role play stuff on their without input from me.

Are you going to condemn these women too? Curious.

Thank you for continuing to expose this depravity. It will help people realize the horrific dangers of gender ideology.

I just want to warn everyone that the reasonable response to this and similar trans cult horrors is that they are "sick" or "insane." Well, no, since they are getting what they want, and most importantly, that is exactly what they say when they've been caught after murdering women who say no to them. It is their main ploy to get released, so spread the word and please don't help them. (David Warfield/Dana Rivers, the white man who murdered an interracial Lesbian couple and their son and is now is in a women's prison, assaulting women, is using the "insanity" plea.

Society has encouraged identification through sexual activity. There is nothing even noteworthy about this person other than their fetish and how that is played out. Humans aren’t acknowledged for skill or intellect or wisdom as a part of a larger picture. Society has decided that who you want to bang is the only thing that matters. And everyone just plays along. And this is the natural progression of that worldview. It’s so shallow and dank.
