You can Gish Gallop over this comment section all you want, but you’re not worth my time. I’ll put it simply for you here since you’re so obtuse; outlawing how a person expresses their sexuality, when it isnt at the cost of another persons consent, is shitty and authoritarian.

Have fun defending reactionary and authoritarian actions. Whatever it takes to defend your side, right?

It’s not a convient excuse

It is. You’re handwaving away criticism of laws that are being applied improperly and unequally. Even if this was a local failure, which it isn’t since this type of content is illegal all over China, that doesn’t excuse failure to equally enforce in this circumstance.

Who here is arguing otherwise

Plenty of comments are defending China’s actions here saying it’s necessary to fight sex work. It isn’t. It’s an authoritarian action taken to stifle sexuality and exert control. You see this most often in fascist governments when setting up dictatorships. And before I get dumb comments, China isn’t fascist. But they are authoritarian in several of their tendencies.

I couldn’t

What is “Purely Authoritarian”

It’s dictating human nature and what is allowed based on governmental morals. You say this is in reaction to the sexual and war crimes that have occurred in China. While that may be the root of the law, that does not make it just in this application of the law.

Consenting adults in the privacy of their own home writing/collecting their own written material are not engaging in or even condoning such tragedies. To harken back to such tragedies when talking about something unrelated is yet another excuse to give cover to authoritarian actions.

If we were talking about pictured/video pornography or prostitution that would be one thing. But this is written erotica. There is no physical person being engaged with. This is at best reactionary and at worst authoritarian.

Also reactionary actions can still be authoritarian. Was the term “purely authoritarian” hyperbole? Yes. Are you being a complete pedant in pointing this out? Also yes.

What cover?

By using “inconsistent enforcement” as an excuse to ignore criticism. There is no justification for these arrests, and yet excuses are being made for what occurred. On top of all of that: inconsistent enforcement is a tell tale sign of authoritarianism as the law is used as an excuse to arrest whoever offends. Even though said laws aren’t applied uniformly. Thus manufacturing pretty much any consent needed for an arrest.

You can claim things like western chauvnism and orientalism, but those words have actual meaning that you debase when you throw it out at any criticism of China. This arrest was, once again, reactionary at best and downright authoritarian at worst.

Things like erotica were swept up in this total purge of marketing sex, and enforcement is inconsistent as it is usually regional.

A convenient excuse to stifle a person’s consenting sexuality and agency. Written erotica hurts no one, and those arguing otherwise are falling into their authoritarian tendencies.

If you don’t like sex work like pictured/video pornography and prostitution I can at least understand your reasoning. Both have massive issues of trafficking and sexual slavery. But swinging the hammer down like this on written erotica is purely authoritarian. And trying to justify arrests made as “inconsistent enforcement” is giving cover, purposeful or otherwise, to that authoritarianism.

Too bad Isreal doesn’t care, and will almost certainly indiscriminately bomb them anyways.

You’re praising someone’s dog getting killed illegally lol. I’d pity your family, but I’m sure they already distanced themselves from the disappointment that is you. Try not to lick any more boots today dipshit lmao

Man you’re completely fucked in the head. Enjoy being a bootlicking dipshit I guess.

You made stuff up to justify police illegally detaining people and killing a dog; and I’m mentally unwell lmao. Bootlicker projection at its finest

You made up fiction to justify your own bootlicking tendencies, and they called you out on it. No one here thinks the person you’re responding to is an idiot.

We are convinced you’re a fucking moron though.

Fun fact, you’re full of shit.

I’ll agree to that partially. Unless the proposal actually passes it’s just the shitty legislating of another shitty government official.

I just wanted to point out the Russian States’ history with women’s rights; because it’s not like these people gain power in a vacuum.

This is the same country that decriminalized Domestic Violence leading to a fall in reporting from women as a result.

People who haven’t read the article aside: I do not believe the Russian State member has women’s best interest in mind with this proposal.

I imagine you’re talking about this and every single member of “Mom’s for Liberty” absolutely deserves it.

Gender is irrelevant, it’s more the being an absolute shit stain on humanity by being bigoted and wanting to ban books part.

Edit: Here is an article linking to the books banned by Florida since OP is lying saying Florida hasn’t banned books.

They could liquidate their mountain of gold they’ve been hoarding and use it towards humanitarian efforts.

But they won’t do that because that would require the Catholic church to actually help people.

Minimum Wage workers/general laborers are the literal backbone of any work force. Their value is literally instrumental to any and all industries. These industries would simply collapse if minimum wage workers are taken out of the equation. And that’s without pointing out that wage isn’t indicative of how important someone is to a workplace.

And automation doesn’t mean much when you still need an entire force to upkeep all of those machines. And I’d bet my right arm and left leg that if wage pricing is left to corporations that they’ll place said workers at minimum wage if they can get away with it.

I stop reading after that since those are made up words.

Ahh, so you’re a complete fucking moron then. Checks out since you’re defending Andrew “I moved to Romania so I wouldn’t be charged with rape” Tate.

It did look very similar to GTA V, but it’s also worth noting that pretty much all of the footage was from very early production. It’s likely that they were using less detailed character/world models for testing purposes. I imagine the game will look pretty damn good and modern once the proper lighting and textures are applied.

Ultimately I don’t remember anything incredibly interesting from the videos I saw outside of a couple of story beats revolving around the new main characters. It seemed like most of the videos were pretty much testing certain console and systems at non-specified points in game.

How about linking to a source that doesn’t have a 30 to 15 dollar paywall for non-members? Or at the very least posting the full study instead of straight to the paywall that most people can’t afford.

The paper is also from 2020 so it’s also missing the most recent information and context in regards to the water being diluted and sent out.

Edit: a user directed me to where I could find the full study, and it can be found here Ultimately the study says there should be additional research into the isotopes found within the tanks beyond the tritium found in them.

I definitely agree additional studying should be done, but even then the article doesn’t disagree with releasing the tanks. Instead they would rather wait until the isotopes are more decayed. There is however a risk of tank breach due to possible natural disasters such as tsunamis or earthquakes that would allow these isotopes to be release in a more potent concentration.

So the option is to either release it in lower concentration and diluted water is specific amounts, or hold on to it and hope the tanks don’t breach for 60 years.
