This is what I don't understand about you supposed progressives. You are so busy decrying us as pearl-clutchers fretting about exposing our kids to physical stimuli that you will willfully ignore the psychological impact this type of thing undoubtedly has on young males.

LOL, pearl-clutchers is right, get outta here with that. I was looking up porn on AOL dial-up in 5th grade. Twitch is not hurting anyone. Just teach your kids not to give virtual people money. Fortnite and all the other shit making kids and parents okay with MTX is probably just as much to blame as anything else for all the simps.

Sooner or later the market will become over saturated with hot tub streams. I'm waiting for banana and popsicle eating stream. Or riding a vibrating Harry Potter broom. What about oil message stream with friends? Or like the old Adam Carolla show, jumping on tramplone in bathing suit stream. They need to step up their games, or hire me as their producer.

They've actually started this. When making the mistake of browsing through the "just chatting" category the other day I saw something about a trampoline stream being a goal for subs/simpbucks or something.

The thing that makes it pearl clutching is that young males are being taught these lessons all the time by our culture, and always have been at least since mass-produced pornography became readily available, so from the Playboy era onwards. It's also super hypocritical because I'm pretty sure every single man on this forum watched a LOT of porn online and had access to titty magazines from the time they were 13+.
Universe of difference between some thot trying to fly under the radar on twitch and playboy. Pamela Anderson was upfront about what she was doing in Playboy and she wasnt trying to form a personal relationship with your kid to extract money from them.

Girls on Twitch aren't naked. This is more like running a bikini car-wash or a wet t-shirt contest on the internet and I'm pretty sure a wet t-shirt with visible nipples would get you insta-banned for life, so it's not even that bad.

Pearl clutching indeed.

Yeah man shit like tranny dick choppers just appeared out of no where. There wasnt a series of social changes that lead to society thinking its perfectly reasonable for children to be given puberty blockers and do drag routines in nightclubs filled with adult men.

Where the hell have you people been the past decade? Seriously now endless examples of slippery slopes leading to dysfunctional states.

It's also super hypocritical because I'm pretty sure every single man on this forum watched a LOT of porn online and had access to titty magazines from the time they were 13+.

What seems to be causing a unique outrage from this recent thot-phenomenon (thotnomenon?) is just how efficiently young women can farm simpbux online. It is holding up a mirror on how mentally vulnerable huge swathes of the male population are, and what a sham human relationships have become in a transactional society like our own.

Do I think this behavior is super unhealthy for society? Absolutely. My point is that it's just an extension of trends that have been ongoing for quite some time, and it only became outrageous once some computer algorithms took a bunch of the middle-men out of the porn-pipeline and let young women sell their dignity directly to pathetic simps, exposing how crass and shitty sexual relations have become in our society.

I agree with this entire post and you are right that I had exposure to a ton of porn. However, I am trying to be the sort of father that I wish my dad would have been when it came to porn. I think he did as well as he could but he was virtually silent on the issue and may have not ever known that I found his Playboy stash. I also had a really hard time in college getting over breakups and would go through phases where I went through girls like water always looking for the ones that would do all those things I was seeing in porn.

All of that to say that it isn't being hypocritical to point out how destructive a trend is ESPCIALLY in the face of peers that are doing the equivalent of saying "it happened to me and I turned out fine," when all signs point to them just not realizing that they did NOT turn out fine because they do not have smaller versions of themselves running around that they are trying to raise to be better than they were.

Again, I am not trying to say that I wouldn't have been on Twitch in those streams if I was 16 or whatever because I guarantee you I would have been; but that isn't the same thing as acknowledging that the increased availability and societal acceptance of this stuff is making it harder for parents that are trying to raise their kids to form healthy and lasting relationships.

What're you even talking about? First you've got people worried boys are going to get boners too young from seeing girls in bikinis on Twitch and you jump to being worried they're going to get their puberty blocked and their dicks chopped off.

Which is it? Pick a side. It's like you want to be puritanical, but leftists are also their own kind of puritanical so you've just made up a nonsense argument.

My argument is at least logically consistent. Objectification of girls in media is a slippery slope and that slippery slope started back in the 1950s. It only became a "problem" for disgruntled dudes on the internet once the simp-onomics started shifting rapidly in favor of the girls selling their dignity; able to put a down-payment on their first house without even showing a full nipple instead of getting jizzed in the eye for gas money.

Like most of the problems caused by capitalism, the exploitation of girls is yet another trend has been accelerated by the rise of the algorithm.

So content primarily aimed at heterosexual men causes a rise in non-heterosexual things?

If mental gymnastics was an Olympic event, even the Russian judge would give you a 10.0 for that performance

Sure did. Definitely never had a phase where I "ran through girls like water" and blamed it on my dad being quiet.

Consider yourself lucky that you've only been with a few girls (guys?). It should make you appreciate anyone that will have sex with you.
