Might be true for you, certainly there's enough erotic content in that vein, but a lot of people are mere animals in this, and a lot of other people treasure the connection and pleasure someone else appears to obtain from the coupling.

Ezra Klein, the prototypical liberal has all the responsibility here.
With advances in crime prevention and detection, if it weren't for liberals, it'd be entirely possible to simply suppress pornography the way it's child variation is suppressed.
To the liberals who derive status and satisfaction from liberating people from tyrannical rules, the idea of having societal constraints on the production of fake stimuli associated with reproduction because we may desire that people pursue reproduction instead of satiating themselves with fakery..that was just something to be fought.
They successfully contested it and they won, and now there's PMV super stimuli so people with almost completely burned out reward systems have something to frack dopamine with.

Gooner culture is just a very small subset of heavy porn users, and in themselves, not that interesting except for the weird social aspect.

Quite remarkable that they guy comes to the conclusion that people who spend 3 hours daily masturbating or watching porn aren't actually addicts.

Do you truly think we are blank slates disconnected from our biology ?
No kidding, that's what you believe? That we're some sort of quasi-rational agents not biased by millions of years of mammalian psychology ?

I've never watched Spongebob and I can't understand why anyone .. would .. Neither any of the other 'ugly' cartoons. (Rick & Morty etc). Just seems odd. Anime while usually inane at least looks nice.
Apparently, the style is so ugly because of production constraints and cultural biases of the people making it.

Chinese had the right approach. There's nothing to gain by allowing someone else to run social networks with the participation of your citizens. Europeans allowed it because they act like thralls of Americans, and that's because that's what they are.

Have you read what Andrews wrote ?
One book that helped me put the pieces together was Warriors and Worriers: The Survival of the Sexes by psychology professor Joyce Benenson. She theorizes that men developed group dynamics optimized for war, while women developed group dynamics optimized for protecting their offspring. These habits, formed in the mists of prehistory, explain why experimenters in a modern psychology lab, in a study that Benenson cites, observed that a group of men given a task will “jockey for talking time, disagree loudly,” and then “cheerfully relay a solution to the experimenter.” A group of women given the same task will “politely inquire about one another’s personal backgrounds and relationships … accompanied by much eye contact, smiling, and turn-taking,” and pay “little attention to the task that the experimenter presented.”
The point of war is to settle disputes between two tribes, but it works only if peace is restored after the dispute is settled. Men therefore developed methods for reconciling with opponents and learning to live in peace with people they were fighting yesterday. Females, even in primate species, are slower to reconcile than males. That is because women’s conflicts were traditionally within the tribe over scarce resources, to be resolved not by open conflict but by covert competition with rivals, with no clear terminus.
All of these observations matched my observations of wokeness, but soon the happy thrill of discovering a new theory eventually gave way to a sinking feeling. If wokeness really is the result of the Great Feminization, then the eruption of insanity in 2020 was just a small taste of what the future holds. Imagine what will happen as the remaining men age out of these society-shaping professions and the younger, more feminized generations take full control.
Do you truly think we are blank slates disconnected from our biology ? How then do you account for the extreme similarity of social institutions among primitive tribes ? There is no evidence of a matriarchal society - only ever matrilineal. Every known human society has marriage and jealousy. And so on.
If you took all the women out, I suspect the men that remain would act, by Andrews’ lights, like a bunch of girls.
Only if they were the kind of men who buy perfume and engage in what used to be called sodomy.

"Can't compete with American tech like Facebook".
Russia has Facebook. It's not difficult tech. Europeans, being a conquered and occupied population didn't have the balls to be like China and Russia and bar foreign social networks.

article 8 ECHR,
Your conversation isn't private when it's being automatically analysed for 'CSAM' by a complex technological system that's probably also soon going to do sentiment analysis and checking for disinformation.
How is text CSAM a big deal I'm never going to understand but then, I don't have to.
Such shitheads. If the wanted to protect kids, they could just mandate that children must use chat-controlled apps, and anyone else is free to use something else. But of course, it's about narrative control, not protecting children.

Going by the level of literacy and apparent age of people who write these chat cards, a median user of LLM ERP has probably never had actual sex and if he or she were honest with themselves, would admit that it's over because all they know is the digitally-intermediated dating environment hellscape.

Related note, it seems like women are less comfortable using AI in general,
Half of all ERP use is women, at least. Seems they're quite comfortable with that.

It's been kinda slow for a long, long time (intermittenly most of last year?).
Not a huge deal because once it loads you usually don't have a problem but sometimes it'd take 10seconds to render etc. Or so I remember.

Games with shiny graphics all basically suck bc the investment is so gigantic that to recoup it, it has to be market to morons. At best games with marginally decent writing but gameplay completable while near to blackout drunk.
Is that crap unavoidable or merely a possibility ?
Just why, you're already sucessful, why sell out so blatantly? It makes no sense, yet it happens repeatedly.
Publisher forced it. KCD1 was financed by a local patron, some middling real-estate investor (150 million $ worth, ultimately invested $12 million into the game which isn't really peanuts). KCD2 wasn't.
Vávra hates that crap and is quite active on social networks so Czech 'liberals' really hate him, mostly around censorship where he's against the euroatlantic statist bullshit around 'disinfo' the EU loves so much but he also torches wokes regularly, it's unlikely he's responsible. The nice thing to do would be release an 'anonymous' mod that'd would just get rid of these forced changes.

Mastodon itself supposedly has a large presence of lolicon enthusiasts who went there after getting purged from twitter during a rules change.

Porn isn't banned. It's just hidden behind 'sensitive content' which, with the wrong setting, can be displayed automatically.

a) US isn't and hasn't been in position to do anything about China and no amount of cabinet level politicking could change this. It'd required either a time machine or a 20 years preceded by a military coup and a deep program of national reform.
b) they actually need to take power inside the US because democrats have made it very clear what they intend to do.
