Torturing an AI chat bot until it does stupid AI shit is some of the funniest content I’ve seen in a while

No, of course not. I had in mind specifically men for the point I was making because they commit the overwhelming majority of violence against women (and in general). It was sloppy of me to leave that implicit in my comment.
I didn’t even think of kink when I was typing the comment, that’s also 100% my mistake and you make a good point. The type of game I had in mind was the type made by men who hate women (far-right types) for a very specific audience (misogynistic men), it was absolutely sloppy of me to not write that explicitly. I want to also acknowledge here that the people who would play such a game are not all the audience intended by the creator, so what you’re saying stands for many of them too.
I 100% agree with you here. I’m not arguing as a judgment of people who enjoy these things in a healthy way.
I actually realized while I was typing this what the itch in my brain was that compelled me to make that comment in the first place, and I think I was running down a false path when I said I would be concerned about consumers of such media. I think, especially for certain people (isolated young men), that the interactive nature of video games is more likely to create a sort of “hedonistic feedback loop” (not sure if this is the right way to express this concept). While they’re not very likely to go out and commit murder (or even join the army, statistically), they’re much more likely to commit domestic violence and sexual violence. I don’t think I could concretely even say this would increase the likelihood of such men committing violence, but I don’t think it would be psychologically healthy for them. Hopefully I’m making sense here, I can’t really tell at this point lol.
Edit: I’m pretty tired, so please let me know if I’m saying nonsense. I’m not completely sure I’m getting my (probably not fully formed) ideas out into text in a comprehensible way here.
How do we differentiate between those ones and the kink ones? Maybe now it’s obvious but what happens if you crack down on the right wing ones and then they switch to blurring the lines and persisting in the grey area between?
I am mostly content with ignoring it, because the danger in going after them despite being such a small problem is that it will expand into just outright controlling kink content when they do that. People will misguidedly control women under the claim they’re doing it to protect women.
You do make sense. I’m trying to plot a course through this problem myself, without falling into the trap of controlling women to protect women. This trap is dangerous and I think people with no kink history have a hard time even noticing it exists.
You don’t need to be nervous about the topic with me. Some other hexbears might see them as a minefield but I’m particularly open and chill about it.
OH! Oh no, I’m absolutely, categorically NOT trying to advocate for a crackdown for exactly the reasons you state (edit: that there’s no way or mechanism to crack down only on “bad” things and it’s likely to cause a bigger problem than the problem it would be trying to solve). I went back and read my first comment, and I now see how it might have looked that way, but it 100% was not my intent.
100% agreed on all points.
This is a great point and one that I will do my best to keep in mind going forward. Thank you.
I have my suspicions that the current ongoing payment provider restrictions are intended to cause this to happen.
What happens to kink writers and developers for literature and games when their content is removed? Right now it’s just kinda sus content leaning towards obviously taboo things, content in school settings, content with animals, 500 year old vampires, etc etc.
The obvious thing they will do is move further into the grey area.
What happens when they do that? You crack down on everything in the grey area.
Now you’ve hit them again, but you’ve also hit a whole heap of lgbt content and other kinks.
Then all of that moves into the newly formed grey area.
You go after the new grey area for being banned in the former wave. Explicitly targeting lgbt kinks and other things.
This is the long-term strategy I would be running if I were on the side of those christian lobby groups that have been successful recently.
I think you’re right and this is the strategy they’re running. They use the overtly bad stuff (pedo loli shit, for example) as a Trojan Horse (or maybe a wedge / pry bar) to slowly smuggle in functional censorship of LGBT content (plus anything else they don’t like). These don’t have anything in common, to be clear, other than being “taboo” according to some.
