These alleged high standards women hold are largely imaginary. It's only kind of like that on dating apps, and that's because they're 80% male, so women HAVE to be picky.

That was ONE OKCupid survey from years ago, and it also showed that women were more likely than men to message people they didn't rate as attractive.

In reality, women and men rate male facial attractiveness about the same. https://datepsychology.com/can-women-identify-an-average-face/

I'd say it's not terrible if you have some experience with TTRPGs and use Pathbuilder (a free character-building site/app). That said, I obsessively research and follow guides while making my characters, so I might not be the best source on vibes-based character creation.

Depressingly, this may actually work on his supporters.

Disgusting. Violating everyone's rights and privacy "for the children" (who will just use VPNs anyway).

Eh. We know violent video games don't cause violence, so I see no reason to assume porn works any differently. Fair enough if that's not your thing, though.

There's nothing inherently wrong with watching porn. Most people do. For the most part, it's a normal and healthy expression of sexuality. As long as you understand that porn is fiction and bears about as much resemblance to real sex as the Fast and Furious movies do to real driving, you should be fine.

You're probably not "addicted" to porn. Can you be addicted to porn? Sure, but you can technically be addicted to anything. Porn is not chemically addictive the way, say, some drugs are. In fact, watching a lot of porn doesn't predict problematic porn usage--but thinking porn is morally wrong does. So basically, you aren't likely to wind up having a problematic relationship with porn unless you already feel guilty for watching it.

There's nothing inherently wrong with watching someone be degraded either, as long as you understand that porn is fantasy, the people in the video are acting, and you should never do anything like that IRL without consent.

Fair enough.

Come on. A lot of men being shitty doesn't justify violating the privacy of every man you're interested in. If you made this argument about ethnic or religious groups with higher-than-average crime rates, you'd rightly be panned for it. I'm a woman and I think this is awful.

In addition to the issues others have pointed out, reddit was like this back in the day too. It's not that weird, even if it is true.
