People never seem to apply this to the arts. People still use Eric Gill's fonts (sexually abused his kids), they put on plays by Oscar Wilde (who was definitely a sex tourist and the descriptions in letters makes it fairly clear the boys were underage), several murderers are admired for their works: https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20170517-can-you-separat...

He links to a panoramic scan of his unclothed body. Seems normative.

Yeah I really doubt the "can't get a prostitute" thing. And I really would recommend him to get one tbh. Not having had sex well into your 20s takes a toll on most guys' confidence and becomes something you look up to too much. Just doing it that way takes the pressure off and make you realise it's not the huge thing you thought it was. Been there and done that :)

IMO there's nothing bad about seeing one. People make sex out to be a bigger thing than it is. Most of the sex workers I know also enjoy the work.

They are correct. Note that pedophiles, on average, discover their orientation at 14 years old. They first experienced it when they were just 12, on average. 42% of MAPs (minor attracted persons) had suicidal thoughts at 16 years old. 32% had concrete plans for ending their life, and 13% actually attempted to end their life. The most common age of first suicide attempt for MAPs is 14 years old. Of those who attempted…

I am sympathetic to someone diligent about not acting on their attraction to children. I’m attracted to adult women. I didn’t choose to be. I just am. I can’t imagine how much it’d suck if people wanted to kill me because I liked women. So in that sense, I feel bad for people attracted to kids who take steps to never, ever act on it . That would be a tough life to live. OTOH this guy claims to have “non-sexual” pictu…

First of all, thank you, thank you for being sympathetic and understanding. That is more than what most of the general population provides.

For the second paragraph, I agree with you personally. While I can think of the nudism counterargument ("nudity should not be sexual"), it is true that in current society, nudity is unfortunately sexual, and the collection part of it makes it suspicious that it is a sexual endeavor (e.g. even in the nudism community, a "collection of nudist pictures" is often suspected to be porn [and thus not genuinely nudist], especially if it is sold, even if the pictures were non-sexual). Therefore, I agree with you that I believe this was likely a sexual act by the author, even though the pictures themselves may not actually be sexual (as the nudist community has experienced).

If we assume that it was sexual, then to make the jump to conclude that it was intolerable, we can actually depend on what the anti-contact (a stronger version of non-contact) minor attraction community says. They are, of course, strongly against it as well, on the grounds that the production (and therefore the encouragement of production) of CSAM harms children. [1] Therefore, please know that I agree with you, and in fact, anti-contact MAPs and anti-contact pedophiles agree with you too. None of these groups want to harm children, and in fact, resources are provided in the groups to report and prevent child abuse and CSAM.

Note that there are of course some counterarguments. For instance, Aaron Swartz said: "This is absurd logic. Child pornography is not necessarily abuse. Even if it was, preventing the distribution or posession of the evidence won't make the abuse go away. We don't arrest everyone with videotapes of murders, or make it illegal for TV stations to show people being killed." [2]. But that's a separate argument, not related to anti-contact or non-contact MAPs, which was what I was focusing on in my original comment.

TLDR: Thank you, and I agree with you (though I had to explain why I agree), and anti-contact MAPs agree with you too.

Do you think the police, when they raid your house on some pretext, will accept your argument that it wasn't to prepare for a crime?

Innocent until proven guilty, it is their job to show that I was preparing some crime, I would not make any arguments.

Having nmap on your computer and a plausible story from the police is sufficient proof of guilt.

The other repos from this person are also worth checking: https://codeberg.org/drummyfish E.g.: https://codeberg.org/drummyfish/Anarch

Also worth nothing that this person is an open pedophilia advocate and "race realist" as can be seen on their homepage https://www.tastyfish.cz/ Can't speak for the quality of the software but important to note.

"- I am physically the most disgusting form of existence that ever lived, I am so ugly people vomit when they merely see me. I can't even buy a prostitute no matter how much I would pay.

- I have a condition which makes me physically unable to bear seeing or hearing just 1 second of ads.

- I am immune to propaganda and see the world in undistorted way, resulting in previous point.

- My favorite algorithm is most likely Hough transform.

- It physically hurts me when someone says "the reason ... is because" or "just because ... doesn't mean".

- I immediately turn off any documentary where a woman starts talking as a "scientist"."

Ah, I miss personal webpages.

Reminds me of an article which said that positive side of autism is that autists are impossible to brainwash, and that they are the only ones to speak up in a nazi society -- because they ignore the social cues.

"Race realism" is pseudoscientific racism. Racism in a cheap suit. I bet if you sat down and thought about it, you could come up with some valid arguments against both of those things.

On an individual level - no, I don't think so, at least not easily. One can't be helped if they don't want to, or don't see a reason why they would need help. Successful therapy is 99% your own work, a therapist will help you find the door but it's you who must take the step. On social level, we need to call out this sort of viewpoint/behaviour, and make it clear it's beyond unacceptable. Then it's up to the individu…

This is what I have learned after working with some really crazy people: 1. Show them some love, even if they don't deserve it 2. Don't be combative or argumentative. If the guy believes earth is flat, don't try to change his mind. But be open on where you stand and don't try to pretend sharing some of his views just to please him. May not work on everyone and some folks are just evil, but I think many crazy dudes ou…

I had to think about this for a while.

> 1. Show them some love, even if they don't deserve it

That's the problem. Everyone deserves love, but it's a bit of a chicken & egg problem when you run into someone who thinks of themselves as so repulsive, that they are convinced they don't deserve being loved.

My personal experience in this area has mostly been with people who already have been in therapy, sought help, etc and sometimes even then have problems accepting love, even when offered unconditionally (which might be also super difficult for the offering side).

But you're right, even a little bit of love and well-intentioned attention can go a long way. I hope that if drummyfish is reading this entire thread (which might be extremely emotionally demanding), they can see that the appreciation for their work and achievements is well-earned and deserved.

The root of the problem and the solution is (and always has been) to love oneself. If one can't accept self-love, how would they be able to accept love from others?

> it should be considered a specific aesthetic IMHO Case in point, in a 3D platform/adventure game i made back in 2020 for an MSDOS game jam[0], the rasterizer has intentional "flaws" - like lack of subpixel and subtexel accuracy, no zbuffering and no perspective correction (and perhaps unintuitively, the last two actually made the whole renderer more complex) because i had in my mind a specific "glitchy" look. Addin…

I can imagine no z buffer requiring finding a way to efficiently sort the triangles but how can affine mapping be harder than perspective correct?

(i assume with "harder" you meant "slower")

Right now i tessellate the world quads dynamically based on the distance from the camera, which not only has an overhead of its own but it also adds additional geometric overhead (more transformations, more sorting), so perspective correct texture mapping would let me get rid of that tessellation.

Also 3D meshes (which are static, no dynamic tessellation) need to have enough tessellation to avoid getting too distorted when the camera is close even if the extra geometry isn't really necessary (e.g. IIRC the top sides of the desks are 9 quads/18 triangles when with perspective correct mapping they'd be just 1 quad/2 triangles).

Banned on 4chan?! That's speaks "boss-level evil"!

Getting banned from 4chan should warrant you an automatic subscription to FBI watchlist.

How is the hypothetical person's nationality in any way relevant? Oh, yes, it's relevant, because the Western society hates racists, so if he is something the society doesn't want, then he must be mentally ill! No. This guy is actually mentally ill. If I were a betting man, I'd wager that it's some kind of BPD and I think a psychologist could analyze this better than me, a layman.

Race realism died long ago when education mattered far most than genetics, at least on behaviour. - African tribe culture not used to give playtime/talk to kids when they are babies: behavioural problems raise at adulthood. - Western world used to it, no matter the class or money: potentially good adulthood. The problem is that the wealthy class didn't like to have educated citizens in Africa; but a brute workforce,…

Would you agree that some populations have darker skin? Sprint faster? Have different kind of hair, or skin (requiring different products)? Do you agree with the non-controversial opinion that indigenous Australians have superior vision to white people?

Everyone believes in race realism. It's only when it's about a few specific traits of a few specific groups that people deny it. And it's only about one specific organ of the human body (the most complex one), that somehow is completely identical for everyone.
