Lol, someone going on about how someone complaining about "lolis" makes them want to do it even more.

That kind of sounds like psychological reactance. A known phenomena.

Wasn't Overlord originally some novel some random guy was posting onto the Internet?

Well hey, it's cool that he could get a publishing contract, if that is the case. #anime

It's still funny that Index has a guy with a bar code on his face (and for no particular reason), lol. #anime

Nothing like an AI generating an anime girl with a few extra legs.

I don't know what that sticker is for but it must be something magical...?

It kind of makes sense that you might not want your professional life to intersect with your personal life (i.e. Linkedin trying to become some kind of social network).

Arkansas' social media "age verification" law has been blocked by a judge for violating the First Amendment.

You'd think that Russia being so thrilled by that proposed cybercrime treaty would be more of a red flag.

Looks like the Fandom Post has gotten a bit of engagement.

Anti puritan starter kit:

Unsurprisingly, a lot of puritanical arguments involve porn.

Porn is not associated with sexism.

There are even studies showing less crime with higher levels of porn use, even among criminals.

In regards to "sexualization in video games", some studies have chosen cut offs which are very difficult to distinguish from noise.

This drastically increases the number of false positives. Even here, they have often found results which appear to contradict their hypothesis.

The meta analysis fails to find a link between this and sexism or mental well being.
