I don't really watch Doctor Who so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I mean, I guess. Short story time: My mom can't watch King of the Hill. She knows, on an intellectual level, that Hank is supposed to be the butt of the joke. It doesn't matter. She still doesn't enjoy watching it. She finds the experience to be unpleasant to watch. She has the same problem with Archer as well, but I haven't seen as much of that.

If it's like that for you, then I fully get it.

Kingsmen is supposed to be satire though. The whole thing is drenched in camp and hamminess, as a sort of riff on the old Bond flicks. You can practically feel the writer rolling his eyes ironically during parts of it. They had Samuel Jackson play a character who is almost the exact opposite of the kind of character he's known for playing. It's funny that you'd pick that example and then talk about your superior media literacy.

The spin is going to be that the deep state has the technology to stop someone's heart remotely. Mark my words.

I'm more into art and philosophy than science, so if that's your background then I'm not going to argue with you. It's obvious from the way you talk versus how I talk that we're approaching the question from fundamentally different angles. I'll kindly return to up my own ass, where all philosophers go when we're done talking.

Well, that's kinda a problem, because what if it's one way for a harmless paraphillia, but different for a harmful one? You'd never know without doing that crucial and specific experiment. You could at best extrapolate that it could plausibly be the same, but that's not the same as actually knowing.

I apologize if it looks like I'm being pedantic. I'm in kind of a philosophical mood. I felt the need to clarify I'm not trying to be difficult for whatever reason.

I think we'll never know scientifically because there's no ethical manner of conducting the study. No one's going to supply a known pedophile with CSAM and see whether or they they molest someone, or hook up a gizmo to their head and measure their brainwaves when they go to a playground. It would probably answer a lot of questions if they did, but we as a society usually agree these questions aren't worth scarring a child over.

Omg, your kitty has the same name as my childhood cat! 🥰

I hope Princess Zelda lives up to her regal legacy.

These are actually a thing if you know where to look.

Lovecraft recanted a lot of his racist beliefs later in life. Oh, and also capitalism. Seriously. One of his letters mentions having read the Communist Manifesto and finding out he agrees with quite a few points that Marx fellow was making.

If someone has just one flag, that's ok. It's when they have dozens of the things that I find them suspicious.
