ok so your writing is very interesting, and i have to think about it for a bit.
i can tell you a different perspective, if you mind listening to it:
sexuality and desire are the juices that make the world go round. in other words, people are attracted to one another and that is why we have a coherent society instead of a bunch of isolated people.
people want to impress one another (because they're attracted to one another) and that is why they develop arts and culture. in other words, all art is sublimate sexuality. and knowledge is distilled art, so sexuality is indirectly the driving force for humanity's progress, i argue.
This can be clearly observed with AI image generation tools. Free AI tools (with open weights), which is arguably important to have (because otherwise all tools would be corporate-owned, and that's not so good for the people) were largely developed by people who generated big-titty-girls with it. Sexuality drives human progress :)
One of your parts in an earlier comment was that people choose 4chan/hypersexualized video games instead of meeting real people, to which i say: let the gooners have their self-chosen prison. it is better for all of us. imagine if they went out into the real world and actually interacted with people, i think they would annoy a lot. it's better this way :)
Oh I agree completely, it's how I got into drawing as a kid. It's why I am so passionate about this, I do not want the world that I currently know to change. I have my lust in one and my love in the same, life is well and it is decaying far before I became aware. Now I make up for lost time.
I even wrote a poem for my kids about how intertwined the birds and the bees are with the self. Sex is natural but it can become corrupted. That is why it annoys me for blaming one thing, these people can only get defensive as their ego is larger than their reading comprehension. I blame not sex, I blame the culture.
I mentioned 4chan because I noticed trends in thread behaviors and topics on /gif/ their porn subreddit from around 2014 to now. The site known for overflowing gay/trans, cuck and blacked threads suddenly has a huge bias towards white male superiority. This was always true in discussions but it massively shifted the titles to being very conformative. I see it as a tool being used to get people emotional. Before 2024 it was genuinely nothing but threads focusing on black male superiority and cuckolding.
These trends suggest to me a way of creating biases internally. Make someone angry at a certain demographic without really doing anything but changing their porn feeds. Since it's basically the uncensored tiktok. They gave them an easy ethnic group to blame for the cuck/blacked/lgbt threads, the same rhetoric used in ww2. (Not to say I support any of their current actions in the strip) I can at least admit that it made me have preconceived notions and fear, created a huge distrust issue. This is why I think the fappening and pepe news were more just publicity for the site and then activation respectively. Call someone racist when theyre not and they might give up on trying to not be. People get whittled down and beat, it becomes easier to succumb to bad ideology because it is inherently reductive and simpler.
Yeah them being gooners is not an issue, but it's the lack of voting and devolution that becomes an issue. For me I found that porn will eventually bore and you will seek new extremes within it, it's how the same guys on 4chan constantly share stories about craving dick and then regretting it. Boredom and men are whores usually, easier than actually trying. It is a craving for intimacy misconstrued. (Not saying anything about lgbt folks, just about 4chan degens)
So as they devolve they can channel their hate and blame. One of the easiest ways is to vote against those they hate, not realizing they vote against themselves too. Vote for their benefit and it is your benefit. However, they can only see what they lack and not what they have to lose. They are the same losers in military cosplay bullying civilians(the waters below freezing), power feeds their lust. Little lapdogs not realizing the kennel they put themselves in. The kennel they will build around every person.
