For those who believe there's nothing unique going on with this, I have this question:
Is there another community of people with a level of deviancy and psychopathy anywhere near that of the BMT group who have the same demographic diversity? Soccer moms, urban professionals, rural laborers, teenagers and a plurality of women.
I just talked to someone who's a combat veteran of multiple conflicts. I asked him "Is it possible for a normal person to become a psychopath given certain conditions?"
He replied without missing a beat "Oh, absolutely."
If you don't believe that look up the Stanford prison experiment or the Milgram experiment. Stanford students recruited for an experiment became brutal and sadistic in response to social cues indicating that the people playing the role of prisoners were fair game to abuse. Did all the students recruited to be prison guards just happen to be latent psychopaths? Or did the experience itself do something to change them?
Milgram found that a majority of his test subjects were willing to shock another person to death if a man in a lab coat told them to do it. They weren't soldiers in a war zone or even under much stress. There was just a man with an authoritative aura (but no actual power over them) asking them to kill someone. These weren't people paying to have a monkey killed on the other side of the planet, they were pressing a button that, as far as they knew, would kill a person in the next room in an extremely painful way.
Put this all together and I have every reason to believe it's possible that online peer pressure can convert a high fraction of the population into vicarious serial killers in the right circumstances.
You've completely minsterpreted the whole point of what was learned by these experiments and I'm pretty sure you're just repeating what you've heard on a youtube video. It has nothing to do with peer pressure. The whole shtick was about people whom have had little to no authority over others, suddenly being able to express large amounts of un-monitored control over others in an unaccountable fashion. These people have no regulatory force and as a result see everything they do as justified. It is only after this point, when people have settled into their role of authority and become confident in their behaviour, that they begin to seek out and develop support networks that enable and encourage the continuation of methods that anywhere else would be deemed unethical or morally wrong. Monkeybros come to the group already a sadist, and the only peer pressure we have ever seen has been on two fronts.
1) to have better opsec
2)to conform to the group narrative changes when called out, ie. No Cat torture!
There are no purity tests and no initiation or hazing rituals. It's a relatively open group and there are such few expectations to conform to the idea anyone has been peer pressured into anything is laughable. Have you even read this thread? You could go back 5 pages and see why your inane pop-psychology paraphrasing is not only redundant, but a crass ego-driven attempt at self-serving your own self-esteem on a fucking Internet forum.
As for -
Sadists come in all forms. I think it's presumptuous to say "they're getting off to monkeys because they can't easily get off to kids" because pedophiles will absolutely go to any and every length to get off to kids. If BMT were simply an outlet for pedophilia we'd see a lot more evidence because these boomers, meth heads and morons have the worst opsec ever, which is why they keep getting doxed. Not to say pedos are much smarter, but the majority of them aren't commenting on public Facebook and YouTube pages with their real names. I think the monkeyfuckers are just sadists who like seeing animals being tortured and compartmentalize because they're not "pets".
@DrNow Has already explained this umpteen times but clearly it hasn't sank in so I'll take a run at it.
Pedophiles can be incredibly risk averse. Not all pedophiles are running to the nearest unattended child and they are capable of restraining their urges. Not all pedophiles are self-aware about their deviancy either. Dressing something or someone up as a child and then enacting behaviour upon them you could not legally do on a real child is called simulate child abuse. It is pedophilia. If at any stage, you draw any form of gratification, from the sexual, physical or emotional abuse of a child, you are a nonce. I don't care if you say its a baby monkey, it's still a baby and I'll know full well why you like it. Because you're a nonce. These people rely on your ignorant beliefs around how pedophiles operate to get away with a lot of different awful things.
There is a considerable difference between the offending behaviour profiles for contact and non-contact child sex offences. It's quite rarely straight to the raping and discouraging the identification of these people as a potent risk to children and vulnerable people is not in anyone's best interest. They themselves might compartmentalise what they do, but you shouldn't fall for the idea it's just a disgusting quirk or hobby of theirs. Boomers might boom loud and often, but only the most retarded of people, or feds, post or share child pornography on clearnet websites. The people attracted to monkeyhate are attracted by the fact that it isn't a human being, yet remains uncanny valley child, provides them internal justification for being a piece of shit.
It's been said already in the big shouty letters, but if you don't actually know what you are talking about, and decide you want to participate in the thread, just point and laugh at the retards who have managed to get themselves posted. There are fucking enough them. Your bad interpretation of something you read or heard once about on the internet isn't exactly the qualification to open your mouth that you think it is lmao.
