But imprisoning them to fight eachother is fine?

For the record, im totally with you, just seems weird where we draw lines.

Well, there's the modern American hysterical mindset in action.

Sorry, but yes it is gross and weird for people to want to fuck lizard creatures from a cartoon/game predominantly aimed at children. And for the record, they all seem totally fine with living in captivity and being made to fight each other.

Downvote me all you want, I've seen what gets you off.

My favorite thing to do was torture Pokemon C.AI bots by asking them where they get their meat from, then expressing disgust and moralizing them.

You know the rules. Combat slaves are okay. Sex slaves are not okay.

Except also you don't have to be filthy rich, you can just pretend to be. You might even become President one day!

In this household we don't talk about the implications of Pokemon and we definitely don't talk about Pokemon Lore.

And we definitely, definitely don't talk about leaked Pokemon lore.

Our boundaries about sex and violence are weird.

With the caveat that I don't pretend to be perfectly logical, I'd say that fighting pokemon isn't really violence. It is just a video game.

Someone who's jerking off to pokemon is fantasizing about bestiality. This is way better than real bestiality, and I honestly don't care if someone is into it as long as they don't tell me about it. But it's still going to squick me out.

Plus Vaporeon is a favorite of mine and this stupid meme has made people question the reasoning for that!! 😭

parent

[–] leftzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 10 months ago (1 child)

No one's questioning anything. Everyone knows what the reasoning is.

Especially if your vaporeon happens to be white.

That's so evil bro! Also, this pasta made me racist against Vaporeon though.

I mean, Pomemon generally pass the Harkness test. They are certainly intelligent enough, and communication is a little tricky, but general jist is simple, and some people can get some pretty complex information from their partners with enough time spent together. That's before counting the fact that if they really want to, they can learn human language.
