Here you have agreed with me that by allowing someone to live out their fantasies, even in a fictional environment, will actually encourage their delusional beliefs.
No.
If that was so, using violence in games to live out a fantasy would increase real life violence - as has been proven more than enough times by more than enough studies by now, that's not the case.
Social media has actually been very much linked to lead to more violence at this point - but games? Nope.
Because people know that games are fantasy - but many unfortunately think that social media (especially their particular bubble with the most extreme voices in it) is real life.
My point was that you probably (? As in, I did not research this) cannot put a pedophile main char in games because that's just straight banned.
And that is because it might be seen as normalizing pedophelia, because, again, pedophelia is dangerous*.
It still would not encourage anyone to become pedophile, just like violence in games don't make anyone violent.
Meanwhile, normalizing non-binary people is fine, because non-binary people are not dangerous to anyone.
Again, it would not encourage anyone to become non-binary. Because you do not become that, you either are or aren't, even if it can take decades to find yourself.
Just being told about the existence of X and saying that that X is fine, doesn't make anyone into that X.
Yet you cannot see that 2+2=4. You are encouraging their delusions and harming them.
A man cannot ever be a woman, no matter how hard he wishes it was so. By encouraging them and telling them they can be, you are pushing them closer to the edge.
You only
think they are delusional because you adhere to views that have been outdated and proven inadequate to explain real life for many decades now. Attributing anything to "illness" and "wrong" that doesn't confirm to your narrow views is a cop-out that only proves one thing: Your views are what is wrong and do not depict the real world.
Which is kinda funny, because it makes
you the delusional one who is in need of help.
Like an alcoholic who claims he has no problems.
I can't stop you believing that, but at some point you'll have to realize that you are the one acting against all current scientific knowledge here, not listening to those who factually know more about it than you or me.
I just go with what the facts point to, and the facts point to non-binary people being no more or less harmful or delusional than anyone else.
If there's ever actual scientific consensus that would support your PoV, I'll go with that and eat those words - but everything is pointing into the exact opposite direction at the moment.
Btw, your second sentence doesn't make sense in this context. It seems to be about trans people.
Trans folk are not non-binary. Most of them would pick M or F just like everyone else. N is for people whose gender identity is not M or F - a minority among a minority.
* Completely off topic now, but I believe that pedos are sick individuals. As in, actually mentally ill. I pity them. They would need treatment, but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any treatment that would ever cure them. While we do not have such treatment, due to the danger they pose, society is better off removing and shunning them completely, as cruel as it may be.
You seem to be viewing non-binary and trans people in the same light with the same verve, which I just really don't get. Even if I believed they are harming themselves, I'd just let them, just like I let you make yourself miserable with hatred - everyone is free to harm themselves in any way they want, as long as nobody else gets harmed.
Interesting character progression over the last few days:
How is that character
progression?
I've held all of those beliefs for a long time now and never hidden them or claimed otherwise (to my knowledge, anyway).
I have no problem saying that I think this site would be MUCH better off banning or splitting off to a different website about 50-60% of its population and get back to being a website
only about gaming, not one that attracts people like you because they are allowed to spew their politics here.
The reason posting quality has declined over the last years is because people like you attract their own, like a ResetEra, but from the other direction (and without the banning for people who disagree).
It certainly was a better site when it
did have much less people posting on it - and those people were actualling talking for the most part about games and not politics. I sure don't
like writing these non-game-related walls of text, but rusty just triggers me with his bollocks
Fairly sure I've been rather consistent with my points of view for a while now.
because u can shoot kids in the back of the heat or be racist
and these games are the reason why this site was founded
At least we know why
you are here, not that there was ever much of a doubt.
Seriously, I've been here a wee bit longer (and I was a lurker before I even created an account), and no, that was
not why this site was founded.
Also, can someone
please split off all this nonsense into drama or whatever? I feel bad about continuing to derail
