@ItsJuliansRum Just say you don’t know Indians.

I literally only know people who are losing jobs, not getting jobs

@jakeshieldsajj ExpressVPN was recently purchased by an Israeli firm . They’ve been sponsoring YouTubers for years.

I like Joe but as they say follow the money and express VPN an Israeli IDF company pays Joe $400k per episode

@xXxHughJarsexXx @MaTheHunters @AI_EmeraldApple Yeah! There’s no difference between sexual gratification and anything else!

@uoislame @MaTheHunters @AI_EmeraldApple You're not getting off to it, but you're deriving enjoyment from committing violence on representations of human beings. According to your logic that should be enough to claim you would enjoy committing violence IRL

Against the advice of some people, I'm going to defend Chibi Reviews. The attack on lolicon content has nothing to do with protecting children. It’s a textbook case of “common wisdom” moral panic that will lead to a slippery slope of eroded privacy, mass censorship, and mass surveillance. First of all... Lolicon is not always sexual. In Japanese manga/anime, it is just an aesthetic preference for cute, petite, and youthful-looking characters, but many Western discourses flatten it into pedophilia. Actual sexual loli content is a minority/niche within the overall Japanese mainstream media. Criminalizing fictional content leads to an undue burden on law enforcement. It is the clearest case in the UK where REAL CSAM prosecutions fell by 60% according to a "Drawing the Line Watchlist 2025" survey... Meanwhile, prosecutions of fictional CSAM content is 40% of all image-related offences. This is occurring in the context where REAL CSAM is exploding online, with a massive increase in real children and young teens being victimized. Similar policies in Australia, the US, and Canada are causing real issues in distracting law enforcement from helping real victims. Another incentive for ignoring REAL CSAM is that it is enjoyed by too many ethnic minorities, such as the Pakistanis in the UK grooming scandal, and the authorities don't want to be seen as "racist" REAL victims of SA and abuse are massive... Over 650 million female and 410 million male victims are around the world, concentrated in locations such as MENA, and SEA countries, where laws are permissive for the exploitation of minors. Criminalization of fictional content distracts from this, as tens of millions of new victims are victimized systematically in the most vile manner imaginable. The widespread belief that lolicon is a “gateway drug” to real pedophilia and SV is treated as obvious "common wisdom", but the opposite is likely true. Japan is the global epicenter of legal lolicon content, with decades of permissive adult porn. Japan has one of the lowest reported per-capita rates of rape and penetrative child SA among developed nations... 2.2 cases per 100k in Japan vs over 20 cases per 100k in the USA.textbook The most vocal anti-lolicon crusaders are often later linked to real possession or distribution of REAL CSAM! This is the textbook definition of "reaction formation," a defensive mechanism in which someone overcompensates by aggressively opposing the material that causes their urges... also known as "projection." The worst part about it is that this creates a system of censorship, erosion of privacy, and destruction of free expression that doesn't stop at lolicon, but metastasizes to other issues, leading to authoritarian overreach. Then you get the usual suspects of mandatory age verification, algorithmic content scanning, platform risk assessments, and “prohibited idea” definitions that naturally expand to other speech, data collection, and expression. The “pedo” smear that's been weaponized by antis, anti-porn feminists, as well as religious conservatives, accelerates it. They label any resistance to banning content as “defending predators,” and the public tolerates more surveillance... because you don't want to be called a PEDO, do you??? It chills expression and speech not just on lolicon content but on the debate of real issues, like the UK grooming scandal, Japan’s low-rate evidence, or even criticism of the laws themselves. But just like being called a "racist" and "NAZI" is losing power... eventually the smear of "pedo" will as well, since like the former slurs, it's being applied too broadly in cases where it doesn't belong... and hopefully the criminalization of fiction ends while prosecution of ACTUAL predators improves. The real victims... the hundreds of millions in poor regions in MENA, SEA, and many other places, as well as the online grooming pipelines, are the ones getting screwed by this distraction.

@MaTheHunters @AI_EmeraldApple If you’re getting off go murdering people in a video game, you should be locked up.

@uoislame @AI_EmeraldApple then we should just locked up people who plays video game with violence. Just in case they're suddenly decided to start hurting anyone

@pnwguerrilla Stop wearing children’s sizes

Concealed carrying a gun in public is the similar as being obese in public. You’re constantly checking if your shirt is over your belt line.

@Home_Mentions I hate clankers as much as one can, but destroying someone else’s property makes you incompatible with society. We used to hang horse thieves.

"Bizarre"? I'd just say it's a harbinger of things to come. Does the ruling class really think they can throw everyone out of the workforce in the angriest, most heavily armed country on the planet, with zero safety net in place and everyone will just lie down and accept it?

@state_secession The reality is nobody is man enough to tell the federal government to send the goons to stop us and do it anyway. One day tho. We will all nut up.

None of these is a Texan or ever lived there, but they get to decide who is a Texan. Only 2 Texans have ever been on SCOTUS Texas' governor doesn't get to hinder Muslims or Indians from moving to Texas. The Union's constitution says he could be imprisoned for that. #TEXIT 1/👇

@hoodfarquaad You want regulation and liability. McDonald’s gives out old food and someone gets sick they get destroyed in a lawsuit. A billionaire going through the drive thru doesn’t have that same risk.

they really giving billionaires free food for life but throw away good food that could feed the homeless ight bro

@9mmsmg You expected Trump go make good appointments? He hasn’t for literally any position. This is just another example of

I bet you the White lady who adopted two Haitians is going to rule in favor of saving America here. This is a ruling on whether we can have a country or not. I may be wrong, but it's not looking good. This falls on Trump for appointing her. A living, breathing, disaster of choosing appointments.

@ObviousRises One cannot argue for no limits on free speech but be okay with laws preventing misrepresentation of products and services. Should we all agree there are limits, this a good one.

Hot Take but Chibi Reviews is 100% correct, the entire point of Free Speech is protect ALL speech, including art—even (especially) if that art offends you, people murder/gore people in video games all the time yet it doesn't make them murderers or cause real world violence.

@ZoomerHistorian They didn’t cause the problem, but they are gonna have to fix it.

Blaming young White men for mass immigration is genuinely the most insane boomer nonsense I’ve ever seen Incomprehensible way of viewing things. Most people I know wish they could just work a decent job for a fair wage and raise a family. Mass immigration robbed them of that.

@realTateBrown Id trade every H1B for a Mexican. Idgaf

Actually there is no future for the Republican party if we do not invest in denaturalizations and deportations in the Hispanic community

@stevenspohn You don’t have a right to access a game. Full stop.

My right to access a game supersedes your right to immersion. Accessibility options can be turned off, leaving your immersion intact. My disability cannot be switched off. Your desire to brag about beating a difficult game should not be fulfilled at the cost of people like me.

@boymoderology They will import slaves so their profits and bonuses go up. They don’t care about who gets the job, as long as they get their money. They are traitors.

@uoislame if entry level jobs are being given to immigrants, it implies that economics enable them to be paid less for the same job than natives. which is unethical

i hate boomers so much they had everything handed to them and they cant comprehend that there's fewer than 10k jobs avaliable for 1M+ graduates

@ick_real There is a huge difference. Doom scrolling does nothing but elicit an emotional response. Video games requires you to do something for that.

UNPOPULAR OPINION: THERE’S NO DIFFERENCE IN SOMEONE PLAYING VIDEO GAMES FOR HOURS TO YOU DOOM SCROLLING TIKTOK OR IG FOR HOURS..

@9mmsmg They know why. They are just too afraid to say it.

Why are you acting like you don't know why iPhones aren't chained down in Japan and are in the USA? Why do conservatives feign confusion as to why Japan is a higher trust society than the USA? It has nothing to do with rules or laws that they have. You guys do this with everything. Whyyyyyyyyyy is inner city crime so high? It's the democrat mayor! Stop it.

@TheLINKApe @SStricklandMMA I never said it was a good plan or that it was working. Nor did I agree with it. You can pretend the little hats did Venezuela too I guess.

@uoislame @SStricklandMMA This has drastically increased the amount of oil traded in Yuan. Now at historic highs. Try again.

No one has made a logical case for Iran besides "trust me bro" Tell me how does this benefit America even slightly? Tell me how does Iran funding random groups with Aks really effect my life? Nukes? Been hearing that for 20 years.

@SStricklandMMA @ChemicalRealms You confuse someone stating “this is why they are doing it” with “I agree with why they are doing it”

@ChemicalRealms @uoislame They're trying to make the math work. Israel and Saudi pressured trump to do this

@BarefootStudent Cut all visas. American college grads can’t get jobs.

Do something for Gen Z. Cut the J-1 visa. Free up jobs for American teens at beach resorts, summer camps, and ski lodges.
