@MalayBitcoiner @OkoAviJumu That's awful... I've heard a few similar stories, but now I realize there are many more. I feel very sorry for the girls who had to go through this. It's virtual violence. Collectors like this should be publicly condemned. Sasha did the right thing by taking this on.
So this rightoid(yes I am assuming this contemptible knuckle-dagger's political affiliation) hasn't grown beyond the notion of virtual violence causing real-life violence?

Virtual violence maybe.
@kirk_nation @LauraLoomer Very different when you have a gen. RAISED on them from the age of 3, desensitized to violence thru incessant virtual violence. Studies in 60’s that kids watched 3 stooges/violent cartoons and exhibited violence in play right after. Kids developing on it vs. adults is different
@prin_lowe @TraceJohny @DomainDead This is an extremely disturbing take to me. One is virtual violence the other is literally classified as child porn legally. Idk why you wanna see kids get raped or sexually exploited so bad or defend people wanting to see it. You’re very weird.
@OwenGregorian What about video games? Do that study. Way worse than movies because they actually do horrible things virtually. Movies reinforce and normalize virtual violence.

Japan is literally the country loli originates in and it features some of the lowest levels of CP and CB crimes per capita. I like how you dodged the violence angle again. Is virtual violence not "based on" real violence?

@JanJekielek @McCormickProf Violent video games, in particular, can become deeply embedded in the human mind, blurring the line between what is acceptable and unacceptable behavior. As a result, some individuals struggle to distinguish between virtual violence and real-world consequences.
@boney_robin @maddenifico Yeah! Go shoot fireworks at each other, talk your buddies into dangerous stunts with bikes & ramps, surf on the top of your friend’s van, get a keg & throw a party at a deer lease, play Edward 40 hands & see who gets alcohol poisoning 1st.

Saying that it isn't harmless and eventually does harm people is something that's not really supported by evidence. Normal people have taboo fantasies that they don't want to engage in in real life, and consume media that doesn't reflect any tendency in real life (like virtual violence). That's why
I'm running a long process on my Linux machine, and when I tried to check on it, the shell froze while unlocking the screen. In a fit of irritation, I SSHed in and ran kill -9 on the gnome-shell process. Oddly enough, that fixed everything right up. Sometimes (virtual) violence is the answer.

Before & after this period, participants completed an fMRI experiment measuring empathic responses to the pain of another person. After the gaming intervention, we also measured their emotional responses to images of extreme real and virtual violence. (7/12)
It's a different kind of crime though (if considered a crime). Online world's can be extremely engrossing and addicting and it's not necessarily as simple as leaving it. Not to mention, leaving the game doesn't take away from the fact some people wanted to enact a virtual violence.
Whilst virtual violence (e.g. in videogames) rarely has the same psychological impact on victims as physical violence, certain actions are often just as damaging/traumatic even when virtual (e.g. sexual assault and harassment). Ought we to regulate these actions? And if so, how?
