Good news!

Because you're sealioning all over this thread. All because, again, a comic dared imply women are scared of men. I also never outright called you a threat, but given these comments you definitely are.

I don't have to assume, it's literally proven by their comments. It's the same for you since you're all over this thread moaning about the fact that women dare be scared of men.

Also you're example is ridiculous and asinine. An actual example would be like if a white person was complaining of white discrimination on a post condemning systemic racism. The fact that you felt the need to say anything says everything I need to know about you or OP.

Rather than focus on the very real and legitimate issues at hand, they made it about themselves. Complaining in the thread about how they're being targeted as a man instead of having a modicum of introspection about why so many women feel this way. I don't respect or empathize with such a position.

I'm apart of the don't be a shithead crowd. Apparently a lot of men in this thread aren't. And you all wonder why so many women are so terrified of men. You can't even empathize with the fear and abuse they face at a systemic level.

Their claim is inherently irrelevant and reactionary. They were reactionary because they felt called out.

Just calling it as it is.

You very clearly see something about yourself in this message. Especially since you're being so reactionary about it. The fact that you're so upset about how certain women view men is your own problem. Not theirs.

You're a fucking idiot

If you're looking for a technical term, you would fall under gynosexual. But even with the term: only you can truly define your own sexuality.

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.

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.

It's because they're trying to escape to Monkey Island.

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

Ahh, but that single strike was a coup-de-grace. And it looks like Jesus just couldn't pass that fortitude save...
