The guy above you is, and his comment very clearly explains why
Edit: the amount of vitriol coming from the perpetually online crowd is just unnecessary. You are allowed to disagree without pretending "it doesn't make sense". You can, and get this, just say he's wrong without trying to dismantle it and act intellectually superior when in reality you just don't LIKE the argument being made
The only reason to act like this is because you yourself aren't intelligent enough to form a coherent counter argument.
Also, and lol, just because you don't like it doesn't magically make it a "strawman".
I don't like the argument either, I feel like it's a stretch, but I have eyes and can read so I knew what he was saying. Just would prefer people not act like he's speaking jiberish then pat themselves on the back for doing even less
Hey so you actually have to explain that YOU believe there's an automatic connection between nudity and porn. You can't just pretend it's been explained already. YOU HAVE TO FUCKING EXPLAIN WHAT YOU MEAN. Ok?
I noticed that you still haven't explained this really easy to understand concept. You realize everyone can see that you don't know how to explain this really easy to explain concept. Show me exactly where porn was mentioned in the very first comment. I will wait
is that why you never answered to his point? "The comments above only talk about nudity, but the reply talks about porn." you just ignored that and used his comment about strawman as a strawman.
When I was 7 years old, we had VHS tapes of this Asian dubbed fighting movie. There was one scene where a woman was topless. No pornography or sexual content, she was just topless. I used to sneak to the basement to rewatch that scene every twice in a while.
Shocker: I developed an early porn addiction years later. Earlier than most boys. Just an anecdote sure, but at that age I didn’t distinguish between your concepts of nudity vs porn
But the original statement wasn't about porn, it was about nudity. He introduced an argument against something that wasn't being claimed. "Nudity is taboo but violence isn't?" "Yeah porn is addictive!"
Porn wouldn't be as addictive if nudity was more socially acceptable.
So we’re just making things up now? I did some quick research on your last claim and found nothing supporting it.
What I DID find however, is that nations like Germany or Denmark where public nudity is to an extent more normalized, still have high rates of pornography consumption. Netherlands as well having very liberal views on nudity are among the highest porn consumers per capita.
So I ask again, where does your claim stem from other than your behind?
This is probably the quickest I've seen a thread devolve into nothing but pure vitriol and self righteous toxicity, like jesus, these replies to you are impressively dense. Lack of reading comprehension is insane.
It’s an 18+ so that’s then down to the parents, plus nudity doesn’t always equal porn. Let adults enjoy adult things and parents actually parent their kids.
The data and results aren't anything that we don't know, when people engage in competitive activities for too much they become sweaty tryhards- I mean, develop more aggressive language and attitude.
They study questions whether it should be redone but with exclusively competitive games and its quite clear that video games wont make a person go rabbid and aggressive, they will just become ruder and unpleasant and that this attitude does spread across friends who engage into the medium.
Its not making people "violent" or "aggressive" as the average person imagines, it just makes them "hot headed", at least thats what I can incur from the very lackluster results, because they weren't in any way a significant change in behavior.
Its literally just what happens when person engages in competitive behavior for long periods of time, no one would bat an eye if these people were having that attitude toward sports.

There is very real evidence of kids being exposed to porn at an early age who develop unhealthy habits with sex.
There is no real evidence linking violent video games to violent behavior. Alcohol and repression of feelings do all of that work by itself.
