Aww, it’s so sweet that you have my best interests at heart, and totally aren’t just trying a different take on “I’m used to shouting into an echo chamber and can’t handle anyone disagreeing with me, so just go away!”. It’s okay, though, I comment on Derpibooru, so I’m well accustomed to being the only one in the room who’s right about something.
 
@Niggoslav_Krawczyk  
Man, I thought I was the only one who was a big fan of tons of video games I’ve never played! I used to devour gaming magazines in the NES/Genesis and SNES/Saturn days, even though I never had either until they were long in the electronic tooth. I’ve made fanart for Team Fortress 2, but have never actually played a moment of it.
 
I’m sure their topics of reporting are a little too progressive for an axe murderer like you, but check out the Texas Observer some time if you want to see unflinching journalism that isn’t afraid to report negatively on their own sacred cows or positively on the good things the monsters they unearth have accomplished. We gots us a whooole lotta scumbags in office in Texas, and The Observer ain’t shy about rippin’ new holes in Ds and Rs alike.

@TexasUberAlles  
I just wanted to point out it was amusingly ironic and I wasn’t sure if you knew it.

@TexasUberAlles  
Nope. You’re just grasping at straws.

@TexasUberAlles  
I actually know an old man vet in his early 60s (one of them ‘lie to join the army’ crazies) who did teach his son to read on those, because due to his paranoia and conservatism over the reception he got when he returned home and what a colossal kissass Westmoreland was, he basically didn’t trust mainstream publications from either side.  
The only MSM pubs he trusted were those that were ‘counterculture’ but overall had a supportive ‘don’t blame the troops’ bent. Dude’s been cut off and ‘off the social grid’ since he was 19 basically, and had a pretty limited selection of material to choose from.
 
Amusingly outside of Playboys has a lot of videogame books too, despite not having any game systems until around 2006. The power grid here was for years wildly unstable, so it was probably a way of living vicariously through the imagery and text of others. Had some pretty interesting convos about that guy about his ‘favourite Atari and NES era games.’ Can you imagine talking about a favourite episode and pony with someone who could only view the fandom and read episode synopses because he never had cable, television or internet? He only read fanfic, bestpony rantings, and a few newspaper articles? That he came to bestpony and best ep purely by word of mouth and only recently got to see the show in season 4? Because that’s exactly how it felt. So until 2006 his ‘favourite games’ revolved around cute character platformers, wargames, and spr-srs S/RPGs like Sukoiden and langrisser. All without ever having played them.
 
It was a good thing he had good taste, because when I started letting him borrow stuff from my collections he didn’t receive a lot of disappointment, aside from stuff that turned out ‘too fast for an old timer like me’ like Bubsy, or Xenogears because he couldn’t make it past “the novel disc” (he was all “I thought I was supposed to be playing a game?”)
 
Also yeah, older journalism seemed like it had the mentality of ‘that well-traveled cigarette-smoking guy in the back of your local bar, filling you in on the political scene without a care for the pcness of his rambling’ while modern reporting even amongst the smallest sites are basically fluff pieces for their favoured ‘side’s’ polichickens, by dudes that never leave their offices, so when they do editorials about something they caare about, it feels exactly as you’d expect from city-dwellin’ bubblekids who’ve only ever ‘reported’ from their local library and PC-edited into unreadability the reports by true journalists. Only sites like MJ, Guerilla News (RIP e/news friends, I’ve never so much as touched a Coke or Pepsi product since thanks to you!), and The Exile can be trusted for actual journalism. (Counterpunch is fine too, you just have to learn to read between the lines because they wear their bias on their sleeves. Which I kind of commend them for because MSM pretends to be so sanitary and god-awful neutral when they clearly aren’t)

Texas, this isn’t healthy for you. I’m concerned about you. I mean, sure, maybe some delicious dopamine can get you high due to the thrill of debate and the illusion of being right, which of course you aren’t (human brain is awesome like that)…
 
But dude, please reconsider if it’s REALLY worth it being this thread’s clown because of a misplaced sense of…social justice?
 
Drop it, mate. Let it go.

“go over there if you want to completely miss the point”
 
It’s not like the people over there saw your bizarre point either.

@DJSoru  
Well, I also used a picture of a cartoon tiger and tigers eat a lot of people in South Asia, so it’s entirely possible it was a funny pop culture reference based on the dissonance of a horror movie villain dispensing dad-like castigation over a newspaper.
 
@Niggoslav_Krawczyk  
The old Playboys were the best, the articles rocked back in the day. Whenever I found the old ‘60s and ‘70s issues as a kid, I was always pissed off by the nekkidy sections, ‘cuz they weren’t doin’ anything pornographic anyway and all that was gettin’ in the way of all the great science fiction short stories and history lessons in the form of what was current events reporting at the time. Reportage has changed a lot in the 40+ year interim; the older articles were full of stunningly awful casual racism and sexism of course, but the facts got reported on in far more depth than you see in anything outside of places like Mother Jones or the Texas Observer these days. Man, now I miss Omni, too; kickass speculative fiction and Frazetta Babes? Hell yeah.
 
@Astronomus  
Dude, I laid out all the reasons why you’re wrong in that other thread, go over there if you want to completely miss the point, we’re talkin’ about vintage Playboys up in here now.

@TexasUberAlles  
No. It’s not part of the problem. There is no problem with May the Best Pet Win in terms of it being an “advocate of rape culture.”

@TexasUberAlles  
Not to criticise but you used a picture with Freddy Kruger when you are clearly anti-rape… you do know that his backstory was that he was a child molester untill he was “killed” in the fire that got him those marks, right?

@Sixth  
No. Hiltler

@azader  
Well you spelled “seem” wrong. Hitler much?

@TexasUberAlles  
you see to have misunderstood the entire conversation.

@TexasUberAlles And darn tootingly proud of it! Actually, come to think of it, if there’s any porn you should give kids, you should donate old playboys to your local school library! They have some really fuckin’ amazing articles and stories, especially at the height of the vietnam war era. “Yes mom, I really am reading it for the articles!”
 
also would just like to remind everyone that all 50 states ‘passed’ a mandatory belt law. (more like ruptured the spleen of every sensible anti-statist mofo by bribing the populace with the M.A.D-defying deployment of MADD) Terrible fucktarded national laws are ‘passed’ all the time, what makes this any different than mandatory insurance or belts?

@Zincy Considering how much calmer and rationaler even Uyoku Dantei act, something tells me those aren’t panties, not even soiled!

I’d like to take this opportunity to remind all of you blatherskites that the cause of your current excuse for howling was my crrraaazy assertion that there’s a good reason why you have to be 18 or older to legally buy porn. That’s what you’re arguing against. Just thought I’d remind errybody ‘bout dat, ‘cuz I’m an artist and perspective is important.
 
@Astronomus  
Learn how to read, then, Sunshine; specifically, “it’s part of the problem”. That whooshing sound was The Point.
 
@Zincy  
 
I think your problem is that you literally do not know what the word “literally” means, you big scary tough guy, you.
 
You also apparently have a problem with spotlighting and cherrypicking– unsurprising, given your insistence on “it didn’t happen to me, so it didn’t happen” as a base argument– since I only ever snap back at ignorant nasties when you started it in the first place. You’re just weeping because I refuse to back down from a room full of screeching halfwits who are all shouting their incoherencies out of the same playbook. All of my comments on Db are as close as my username, and I spend just as much time commenting invective-free in other threads, often bantering without confrontation with some of the same troglodytes I yell at in Dramawhorin’ threads like this one, because you people are as useful to me as whatever your last post was; Nigs, for example, presents as some kind of high-functioning sociopath, but he’s also hilarious once pooptussles like this inevitably devolve into a Silly GIF Thread.
 
@azader  
so extremely but hurt about one spelling mistake  

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fallacies#Informal_fallacies
 
Now it has became a game of matching.

@TexasUberAlles  
I asked you about the rest of my points, so you would have a, i can hardly keep track any longer, 5th or 6th chance to actually contribute. and like i said before, i did Google “community standards”. You can apply that to pretty much anything, so that wont et us very far.  
Also if the US congress passes it as law it must make sense; you sent my sides in orbit with that one man.
 
You constantly complain about people not reading the context in your ‘anonymity is not okay thread’ wiper. Try doing it your self.  
All I am saying is that, yes, we do age at different rates. That doesn’t mean that watching porn will give you a psychological meltdown. I am not saying: Put red tube on in kindergarten, I’m saying if your child learns about sex prematurely, talk to him or her about it. Making it some kind of tabu until you turn 18 and magically you will be an adult, cant possibly have better effects on society than a few kids ‘the terrible mental scars’ of pornography.  
I would never encourage anyone of watching porn, not an adult either. So no i do not have some sort of secret agenda about handing out copies of fall of equestria at kindergartens.
 
Also ‘protip’: If you are telling someone not to act like a child, you should consider not being so extremely but hurt about one spelling mistake.

@TexasUberAlles
 
You know what your problem is? You’re literally all piss and vinegar. All you can do is shout angrily, insult people, and criticize. If you were in any other place, you’d either be laughed at, kicked out, or punched in the face. You figure because this is the internet that you don’t need to use etiquette, all you need is to type as angry as possible. Not a single post you’ve ever made has been free of ad hominem. It’s been one long rant from the very start.
 
So, why so angry? There’s got to be a reason. Why can’t you just once be civil? Like my very first statement was simply asking for some links to articles. Your response? To insult my spelling as if you were some petulant child. All you have is insults, all you have is anger. Have you ever had a civil debate in your life? Or do you solve all your problems by yelling at them like a child?
 
You’re just some angry, bitter, jaded little person who wants to act important. But here’s the thing, you’re not. You’re yelling at people on the internet…wow big accomplishment. Why don’t you tone back the bitching, get your panties out of your ass, and be civil for a fucking change?

@TexasUberAlles  
You still didn’t give any valid reason as to why May the Best Pet Win advocates rape.

@Twilestia  
Good thing you clarified, since it was otherwise completely impossible to tell who exactly you were talking to, what with all the specific unsupported assertions based on personal experience being used to sanctimoniously attack generalized assertions based on criminal law and common damn sense. To whit:  
@And Brother I Hurt People  
What we are saying is that kids aren’t usually scarred by it.  
Well, given that PUH-PUH-PUH-PROOOOOF!!1! is your current dodge to keep from acknowledging that you’re essentially advocating giving kids access to porn, I assume you have plenty of citations of published studies to back that up? Since you apparently “have some sort of difficulty reading”, I’ll spell it out for you: my assertion was always that it is generally understood to be a bad thing to give porn to kids; my backup on that– since obviously none of you actually did google what “community standards” means– is the fact that making explicit content available to minors is illegal both federally and in every state. That’s kindasorta what “generally” means, when fifty different state legislatures and a national congress all agree on something. The closest I ever got to any specific statement on the matter was “because it’s just generally understood that it will damage a kid’s perception of human sexual interaction in a way that could cause serious problems for them later in life; the small percentage of kids who wouldn’t be fazed by it at all don’t invalidate the majority who would be.”, to which you basically responded “that didn’t happen to me so it couldn’t possibly ever happen to anyone else”. I larded that sentence up with qualifiers specifically because I didn’t feel like arguing with you ninnies about something as patently obvious as “don’t give porn to kids”.
 
@Splinter17  
You people are the ones who keep going on about “scarred”; I only ever used the term to mock someone who planted his soapbox on a high horse and tried to speak with authority about a concept he couldn’t even spell correctly. Dial it back, and you’ll find it was originally introduced by someone using your favorite rhetorical device, personal anecdote, to say that his sibling was scarred by it.
 
@Tenafly Viper  
To quote, “…and you honestly think I would ever knowingly check the friggin’ “Post Anonymously” box? I openly mock an Anonymous Coward in this thread. Pay attention, son, you’re embarrassing yourself.” You’re missing the point– gawrsh, what a surprise– which is that anonymous crybabies are worthless individuals who have no opinions worth considering.
 
@azader  
And besides you don’t even address half of my points. So i guess they are valid?  
I’m not even sure exactly what half your points even are; nothing you say makes any sense. Also, protip for free: Bringing up dozens of rambling and unconnected points and then pretending that if any one of them goes uncommented upon for any reason, that means “you win”? That is not grownup behavior.

Hey guys, can we like stop arguing?

@And Brother I Hurt People  
Oops sorry wrong person quotes. was meant for TexasUberAles (A)

@And Brother I Hurt People  
Just back up your claims to make them shut up dude/gal.
 
You surely have proper evidence to top them besides shouting “NO U!” at the ones calling you out.
 
Not like you made up what you said on the spot just to try and win an argument…
 
Or did you? o.O

@TexasUberAlles
 
“Maybe if I write bigger paragraphs, I’ll sound smarter than I actually am, especially without providing sources!”
 
I don’t know how to make this any clearer to you, so I’m going to bold it. You obviously have some sort of difficulty reading. Give us a link to a legitimate study in which it is proven that children are “scarred” by porn.
 
Adding on, nobody here is saying to go ahead and give children porn. What we are saying is that kids aren’t usually scarred by it.
