I find it interesting that Emil O. W. Kirkegaard, a data-diving wrongthinking demographic realist with some banger Substack essays, has the same opinion as Aella regarding child porn, yet the very same "based" people who condemn Aella for this would never dare call
him a filthy shun-worthy pedo defender. I guess I'm a hypocrite here, because I still appreciate him even though this particular opinion icks me out.
Kirkegaard has also
pointed out that the problem of her large "unrepresentative" samples is overrated.

He does have a point. If she were to say something like "X% of men are into this kink, based on my voluntary survey!", this would be a wild generalization if her sample isn't representative of the population, no matter how large. But she's more interested in statements like "men who are into this kink are significantly more likely to have this trait." If a significant relationship like this is found in her sample, it's unlikely that it doesn't also exist in the greater population unless we have a damn good reason to think otherwise. Significant three-way, four-way, and so on interaction effects that explain variance significantly better than simpler lower-order models are pretty rare in reality.
She loves to talk about how
of course men are attracted to youth, slenderness, breasts, and a pronounced waist-to-hip ratio, sorry fatty feminists, nature is unfair and we can't pretend otherwise! Yet she doesn't seem to accept that demanding we "destigmatize" female promiscuity, homosexuality, and weird fetish lifestyles is just as anti-nature as fat positivity.
