The videogame comparison is stupid. Most people don't get sexual gratification from violence, and the people that do should be treated like the lolicons
This argument is not only ASTRONOMICALLY wrong and biased, it's used as a gotcha too.
As a psychology student, here, I'll be a nice person and break it down for all the kiddie fappers seething over this thread on why those arguments are not comparable in anyway.
Explanation 1; Different hormones
When an individual plays a "violent" video game (COD/DOOM/Postal/Hatred, whatever shooting game) , they release dopamine. The person could find playing these games relaxing/entertaining after a hard day at school/work.
When an individual shoots or kills a real person, they release a SHIT of adrenaline. Not dopamine, and I assure you they are NOT relaxed post-realization (also a reason why most modern school shooters kill themselves after 1-2 victims. They get an enormous amount of adrenaline/stress and also realize the consequences, get panicked and result to off themselves.).
-
When somebody masturbates to fictional pornography(whether it be 2D/3D), they release oxytocin, and other similar sex hormones. Their brain identifies sexual arousal to specific preferences or characters.
However, when somebody masturbates to REAL pornography, with real human beings, SAME HORMONES AND SAME BRAIN AREA ACTIVATE. There is no difference between jerking off to real material or fictional one, because in both situations the brain gets the same type of sexual arousal.
When somebody has intercourse with someone, they also release oxytocin hormones, and again, same arousal typology. (Same for rape, although it is usually one sided, that being the preparator.).
Comparing video games to fap material is obnoxious since they release different type of hormones, vidoe games in fictional case AND r
eal case, while fap material releases the same hormones in all contexts.
Explanation 2: Different way of developing
Sex crimes develop differently from homicidal crimes.
While in both cases there is a process of desensitization, they operate different. All sex offenders had a history of watching pornography. ALL. And in more modern times, they are also into fictional one.
However, you don't need to play shooting games or watch gore to become a homicide criminal, because:
1. The crime can be motivated by various reasons (revenge, hatred, prejudice, propaganda, etc.)
2. The crime can be forced by somebody on someone (ex: cartels forcing new members to shot men as a sign of loyalty.)
Doing a comparison between two processes who do NOT have the same/similar development is retarded.
Side note: Violent games to not turn you into a sexually frustrated person who is aggressive towards anybody who does not agree with their porn addiction. Unhealthy amount of deviant sexual material, on the other hand, DOES turns you into a violent and aggressive person, especially towards the group you are sexually attracted.
Explanation 3: Community approach
Ask yourself these questions:
1. Do people who play violent games make terms such as "anti" or "tourist" to people who do not play violent games/do not like or enjoy violent games?
2. Do people who play violent games make weird slangs about killing people?
3. Do people who play violent games "uoooh" when they see their favorite characters online?
4. Do people who play violent games make communities dedicated to ONLY KILLING NPCS? And are toxic towards anybody who is critical of them?
5. Do people who play violent games name themselves on Xitter.com as "NPC pussy rapist killer"?
6. Do people who play violent games are hypocritical Epstein Hitler particles who blame all their problems on Jewish people, POC, women?
7. Do people who play violent questions have a heart attack when you criticize the country where said violent game is from?
If you answered to the following with " NO", congrats! You realized that people who play violent video games are NOT the same as lolicons.
Conclusion:
If they were "just pixels/lines/fiction", you wouldn't cum to it.
