@AI_EmeraldApple What were the images they were shown then?

@Asmongold Real CSAM is illegal, what do you think?

Another Asmongold L, as he doubles down on the anti-logic again. As many have said, the data on this is actually clear from multiple studies where there is no difference. Normal people distinguish the difference between fiction and reality. The authorities and the researchers TRIED to find that difference because they wanted a justification to criminalize loli content, and yet they could not. For some reason, on this topic, he refuses to look at the data and just goes with his own "internal morality" based on the same "moral panic" he is critical of.

@AI_EmeraldApple Were the images shown to the subjects in that study real girls or anime lolis?

@Asmongold Analysis of scientific literature as part of a report is a common practice. For the 2008 paper, they found no translation towards greater "acceptance" of real CSAM.

@AI_EmeraldApple The sample size was 0 because it wasn't a study or research They literally just asked "experts" and concluded there was no connection because no direct research on the topic was done We can do the 2008 study next, why do you think that study is relevant to this conversation?

@Asmongold The Danish review one is a review of the existing scientific literature and found zero proven causal link. Both Diamond et al. use national aggregate crime stats. Mahmut (2022) - 208 samples Paul & Linz (2008) - 154 samples

@AI_EmeraldApple Let's start with the first example, the Danish report What was the sample size of their research?

2012 Danish report (Sexologisk Klinik). no documented connection between animated content and actual crimes. "We have had to acknowledge that there is no evidence that the use of fictive images of sexual assaults on children alone can lead people to conduct sexual assaults on children." Diamond et al. (2011): "Pornography and Sex Crimes in the Czech Republic" -- child sex abuse and rape rates decreased during the period of legal fictional porn availability. Paul & Linz (2008): "The Effects of Exposure to Virtual Child Pornography on Viewer Cognitions and Attitudes Toward Deviant Sexual Behavior" - exposure to virtual child pornography did not increase tolerance of child sexual abuse. Japan is also the epicenter of lolicon content. Decriminalization of pornography in Japan led to decreases in overall sex crimes, including child SA. Diamond & Uchiyama (1999): “Pornography, Rape, and Sex Crimes in Japan” Show the declining rate despite the rise of explicit fictional content between 1970-1990's. M.K. Mahmut et al 2022"The differentiation between consumers of hentai pornography and human pornography" "Hentai consumers indicated stronger romantic desire towards anime characters compared to non-hentai and non-porn consumers" also they did not link consumption to real world deviant behavior. Other sociology studies go the other way, but a lot of those are framed from a moral panic standpoint, lacking data. Others use police and law enforcement data, where there is a rising number of CSA offenders who also have lolicon content. But those are studies within just the offending community, that's, again, not generalizable to the wider community. Some law enforcement and governmental organizations use that as justification to criminalize the content. But the criminalization of lolicon content has not led to any decrease in actual CSA rates. For example, Canada and the UK criminalize the worst kinds of art, and yet only an increase in real child sexual exploitation has been reported since 2014. TLDR: People can find lolicon weird or even immoral, etc., but the connection of it to real-world crimes is at best weak.

@synopsis8100 @AI_EmeraldApple Is this a joke? This quote isn't even from the Paul J Wright study and the study it is from was using adult women posing as barely legal, not anime characters

@Asmongold @AI_EmeraldApple There are many examples, but one of em would be a study by Paul J Wright in the Journal of Sex Research (2013)

@mahirusoldier Ngl I think this character looks too young and I don't think her voice actress matches her appearance either Eve in the first game was perfect, this one I'm not as big of a fan of Maybe I'm becoming an old man but that's just my 2c, still looking forward to the game though

Woke niggas be like: "We love women as long as they're androgynous, have broad shoulders and a man jaw. The moment they look feminine, we HATE women."

@geoffkeighley 9/10 Great show W

Thanks for watching #SummerGameFest 2026! How did you like the show?

@McJuggerNuggets I originally defended you but after looking at your channel, it is the most demonic amalgamation of sympathy slop and tragedy porn that I've ever seen I can't imagine how much of freak you would have to be to make content like that, genuinely sick and depraved

I’ve never seen such hate and vitriol for two people grieving the loss of their unborn child and making an impossible decision. The last 24 hours have exposed a side of humanity that is deeply disturbing. Being called “murderous pieces of shit, evil, compared to Hitler” and receiving NON-STOP DEATH THREATS. Seeing my 6-year old dog with Stage 4 Kidney Disease be used as a weapon, manipulating my words and intent in a tweet or saying we’ll regret this decision forever and must repent to God is absolute insanity. If you ever wanted to marvel at the depravity of people online, just check the replies on my latest tweet. It’s a shit-show of epic proportions. This is reflective of the current world and landscape we’re all living in. What’s more troubling is a lot of these people use God or Jesus as their justification for threatening us and wanting to cast us into Hell…seems pretty hypocritical. So many saying they would’ve kept the child, put it up for adoption or are suddenly ready to adopt a down syndrome child, that’s great! You can do all those things. However, many of the people throwing stones don’t even have children, let alone one with a condition and most likely will never do the things they say they’re going to do. There has been some heinous shit said about my wife and I on some extremely large accounts…It baffles me that there are such trashy-ass people who have significant followings. If you can’t contribute anything meaningful to the conversation aside from insults then just don’t post. On the other hand, there has been tremendous stories of people who kept their Down Syndrome baby and that’s awesome! Very courageous and they do look very happy! That is your choice and I support it. This was ours and we can do that. It’s very easy to accept the differences between us when it has no actual bearing on your life. What shocked me most of all was that this story has become mainstream news…A couple’s abortion is suddenly newsworthy in 2026…? There are over 1,000,000 abortions every single year for a myriad of reasons, this is happening on a DAILY BASIS and is the most common outcome for Trisomy 21, yet this one blows up and people are surprised…? The reason this blew up is quite simple: IT’S BECAUSE NOBODY TALKS ABOUT IT. I can’t blame people for not talking about these vulnerable experiences publicly because you see the disgusting backlash that ensues. It’s very divisive. Luckily, after 20 years on the Internet, this is par the course for me taking on the crazies, so I’m glad I can help further the conversation. That’s exactly why I wanted to share this story. People still need to see vulnerability and hear the raw truth. There is real suffering going on and it is being done in silence and fear. So many mothers have reached out privately commending us on our bravery to speak truthfully about this topic and we really appreciate that support! We want you to feel less alone in this and less ashamed. There has never been a more important time to speak up and out about the things that matter. Do not let the vocal minority stop you from sharing your truth. To those who have been affected by this or are confronted with a similar situation in the future, we have your back and please feel free to reach out. I’m sure this will follow us awhile especially when we try for a kid again in the near future. (CONTINUED)

@kabrutusdeid Chuds are the indigenous people of the gaming community, woke colonization must be pushed back against or we will continue to lose our identity Replacing Kratos with a WOMAN is like building a datacenter on a sacred burial ground

> create a franchise centered around a male protagonist > watch the franchise become a huge success, with the protagonist becoming its most iconic character and building a massive fanbase around the world > decide to ride the success of that established franchise by creating a new female character to replace the male lead and push a feminist agenda > completely alienate the original fanbase, tell them the game isn't for them, and then blame them when the new game fails when will they ever learn?

@singhisking1229 @McJuggerNuggets He didn't lose his kid, he killed his kid

@Asmongold @McJuggerNuggets Fair but the guy just lost his kid

This week, my wife and I made the very difficult decision to terminate the pregnancy due to Trisomy 21. The choice was not made lightly. We really appreciate all of the personal stories that you guys shared with us, especially the unconditional support we received from fans with no matter what we decided. I know some of you may be very disappointed to hear this news. We are devastated. This has been extremely traumatic for both of us, especially Ashley. She underwent the procedure earlier this week and is on the mend. Thankfully, everything went smoothly, but emotionally we are drained. Trisomy 21, also known as Down Syndrome, is caused by an extra chromosome. It is caused by an error in cell division, like a glitch. The odds of a baby having it is 1 in 1000. When I first confronted this news, I was shocked but optimistic. If they’re a little slow intellectually, then we’ll make it work. I signed on to be a parent, come what may…but I just didn’t fully understand what Down Syndrome entailed. Once we made it public, it became clear that MOST people don’t know what Down Syndrome entails (and no, it’s not the same as Autism): 50% of babies with DS have heart defects. 75% will have hearing challenges. Over 50% will have vision problems. Impaired immune function, developmental disabilities, learning disabilities, delayed physical development, poor muscle tone, structural issues with face, decreased lifespan, etc…Sadly, the list is long, feel free to look it up…Down Syndome isn’t a “blessing”, it is objectively shitty from a health perspective. I didn’t realize just how rough it is for the child, let alone the family…more often than not, they would be fully dependent on others for the rest of their life. The miscarriage risk is also close to 50%, which made matters worse…they may never see the light of day and it puts Ashley further at risk. We spoke with doctors, friends, family and genetic counselors and learned that up to 90% of women terminate their pregnancy after learning the baby has Trisomy 21. This was WAY higher than I expected, I thought it would be lower given that I hear so many say they kept or would keep the baby. I believe that’s because most terminations happen privately, it feels shameful. A lot of judgment being cast. You never think you’d be in this type of situation until it happens to you and then things change. To all of my fans who have weighed in on this topic who have Autism, Down Syndrome or any other conditions…we appreciate you. You matter a lot and we’re glad you’re here. I commend you and your families for having the strength and courage to push forward. As for us, we made a difficult decision that we believe in the long-run will be beneficial for our family. Thankfully, we had a choice. It will take a little time to move on, but we are excited to try again in the future and hopefully have a better outcome. Love you guys & thank you for understanding. ❤️

@singhisking1229 @McJuggerNuggets I avoid using euphemisms or soft language because I believe it obscures the nature of the truth People use soft language to hide from being accountable to the reality of their own actions

@Asmongold @McJuggerNuggets There’s definitely a better way to say this my guy…

@Dansgaming Intentional misunderstanding No one is "afraid" to play as a girl, you know this, why would you even say that?

@Cryptmommy1 @KuroSekaiAnime Older and insecure women who work at the studios probably push to make the characters less attractive or more "realistic" in game because it makes them feel better about themselves irl No one hates women more than women

Did anyone ask for a god of war where you play as Kratos wife? Like is this reaching an audience im unfamiliar with?

@F1NN5TER I know

Men look better in makeup if they aren’t a lil bitch about it 🤷‍♀️

@Woke_Tankie Any time there is an exhumed corpse from 800 years ago I get tagged in the photos I have no idea why

Is that fucking Asmongold??

@whatkamisays Looksmatched

who’s more attractive
