2023-10-04 at 7:48 AM UTC in 'anyone I don't like personally is a nonce'yes, same thing.
the Sacklers were selling MEDICINES, not DRUGS. very aggressively. -

Originally posted by Meikai No, I'm advocating for being realistic: people already like porn. Porn's rehabilitation was done by the internet, and porn itself. It's not about "protecting porn", it's about singling out the bad thing and giving it a unique label for people to latch onto to distinguish it from the other thing.
you can like something just fine while understanding that it has all sorts of problems. I like drugs, but now generally try to avoid them. even when I was doing them all the time I didn't pretend that it was all sunshine and butterflies.
general social problems aside (see: wariat, the extreme case), pornography is an effective tool to control behaviour, to consolidate power and to push certain ideologies from above. all of the major pornography platforms are owned by small groups of people who have a vested interest in normalising both the consumption and production of pornographic material. distancing their product from things that people hate is a common business tactic. -
2023-10-04 at 7:32 AM UTC in 'anyone I don't like personally is a nonce'objectivity is the point of a language so that one person can concisely communicate an idea to someone else; if you're just going to drop definitions you might as well just go back to vague pictographs

Originally posted by Meikai You ever misused a word that you only half-guessed the meaning based on the contexts in which you'd seen it used before? Yeah. People aren't consulting the dictionary on the regular.
Another way of thinking about this: it's like jedis insisting on the Holocaust/Shoah. The idea is to separate it from the generic concept of genocide. But of course jedis aren't interested in "rehabilitating genocide", they're interested in singling out the genocide of jedis as a particularly repugnant thing to do. Understandable. Apply the same logic to CSEM, and it's an even worse picture: people generally already dislike genocide, but people LOVE porn. It's not about rehabilitating the generic concept of porn (because obviously it isn't: that goal is pretty thoroughly fucking accomplished, m8 - PornHub is one of the most trafficked sites on the interwebs), it's about singling out CP and ensuring people view it as particularly repugnant. CSEM is entirely compatible with your definition of porn, but the issue "CSEM" seeks to address is people don't think of the dictionary definition when they think of porn. "Child porn" is just like "Asian porn" or "BBC porn", and the idea is to separate it from those and single it out. If your head was on straight I think you'd probably see this as noble, but you're too wrapped up in your blackpilled anti-degeneracy retardery to see it.
are you literally advocating for objective meaning to disappear in favour of 'this means whatever I want it to'? -

Originally posted by Meikai the working definition of porn in people's heads
is exactly what's being manipulated. "well ACKSHUALLY if we restrict pornography to a POSITIVE term it means its POSITIVE. BAZINGA"
objective reality doesn't come from retards rationalising desires they never even try to understand. -

Originally posted by Meikai PS: You do get that shit like "earth porn" is ironic, right? It's just pretty pictures of the Earth.
nobody's literally jerking off (ie. a sexual response) to pictures of the earth
moreover, images aren't being created specifically for that purpose. people jerking off over pictures of corpses doesn't make the images pornography, but it does if those photos were taken or presented for that purpose. -
2023-10-04 at 6:35 AM UTC in 'anyone I don't like personally is a nonce'all of the things you have described are pornography BY DEFINITION. sure they're extreme pornography, but that's natural progression when by definition it's material meant to elicit a sexual response.
you're trying to amputate the rotted limbs from someone with a blood infection -

Originally posted by Meikai Alternatively: Even well-adjusted people, back when "pornography" had connotations, found the pornographically indecent… titillating. If someone masturbated to pictures of mutilated dead bodies, they'd say "that freak masturbates to pics of chopped up corpses"; they wouldn't call it "hardcore corpse pornography". Why? Because even countenancing the idea that someone could consider such things "pornographic" is disgusting. People these days are just doing the same with pics of kids being raped - the idea being that it's purely an act of barbaric violence, like footage of people being murdered, and therefore isn't pornographic (no matter how titillating some psychos find it).
and here you are trying to redefine away the negative connotations, just like I said -

2023-10-04 at 5:41 AM UTC in 'anyone I don't like personally is a nonce'I think it's funny they use the terms CSAM or CSEM these last few years because they're obviously trying to rehabilitate the negative connotations of the term 'pornography', same as they're 'sex workers' now rather than whores or prostitutes.
truth is though, that the negative connotations developed because of the intrinsic traits of the things they describe.
take retarded people for example - they were mongoloids, then that was deemed insulting so it became retards or spastics, which were later deemed insulting and softened to 'special' but you can't even say that anymore without people assuming you're using it as an insult.
some things are just not good (I'm talking about developmental disorders in that case, rather than the people), and anything you use to describe them will eventually carry negative connotations. -

2023-10-04 at 3:15 AM UTC in Raspberry Pi 5it's worth a try if you have a few lying around, I just don't see why raspis would perform any better than just spooling up some VMs, randomising a bunch of the browser headers and connecting them through separate proxies or vpns
they will have novel ways to try to detect automatic behaviour like automatically distrusting connections from known proxies/vpns, checking to see if action times are consistent etc.. we used to do similar like 15 years ago with ad autoclickers so it's not like it's going to take them by surprise -
2023-10-04 at 2:45 AM UTC in Raspberry Pi 5wouldn't you run into the same problems as botting any other way? you'd need them to go through different proxies, and would end up getting constantly hit with captchas and js checks
