Yay, equality?

I mean, I'd say this is the opposite of ironic, it is extremely expected and logically follows from how the conservative brain/worldview works.

Basically it just boils down to 'being horny is a sin, sin is an evil, supernatural force or state of being, that acts with will, or comes from deliberate, intentional agency... thus anything that makes me horny, I must dominate, control, defeat, as an external enemy, and also deny that it makes me feel horny, to avoid looking like I have fallen (in) to sin.'

When you institutionalize the idea of a fundamental, carnal, human desire as supernaturally evil, everything relating to how you interact with or experience that desire becomes a shameful perversion, and then you have to hide that perversion by one means or another, and those means are often conquest, conquest involves 'othering' the enemy.

For all their talk of personal responsibility, their entire worldview is designed, with many layers of artificial constructs, to shield them from critical self-reflection, to channel them away from actually understanding themselves.

How can you possibly be responsible for yourself, if you do not even understand yourself, why you do the things you do?

To them, what is most important is the performance of conformity to a hierarchichal group identity role.

That's their 'gender'.

Not self-expression.

Yeah, I've seen this pointed out before. They say that trans women are men, but they don't treat them like men. They treat them like women.

This reminds me of a friend of mine whose trans daughter attending elementary school had a bully calling her a "boy" and then chasing her around and trying to kiss her. Really, kid? Do you like to kiss boys now? Obviously, sexual harassment isn't cool at any age, and that needs to be dealt with, but it just goes to show that even at that young age deep down they know the difference.

You see the performers as people. They see the performers as fuckmeat. You are not the same.

This is, upsettingly, probably true for a significant portion of them.

Yeah 14 hours of researchin, i really gotta know what to look out for. Yeah and those noises i was frying some chicken, nothing goes better than cock with researchin.

On the bright side, once trans people start to disappear, they will be the first to rebell.

Ok, maybe just hoping.

My dad used to removed about immigrants taking jobs, but would swing by Home Depot to grab some Mexicans whenever he needed extra hands on a construction project. Conservatives are just hypocritical morons.

EDIT: Wow, this place bans the no-no synonym for the word "complains"? What in the seven nanny hells is that.

This ties into a bigger issue where almost nothing related to sexuality can ever be healthy or normal to many conservatives.

Sex to these conservatives is inherently deviant and filthy. Making conscious life decisions related to sexuality or sexual identity will never be just a life decision. It will be equivalent to actively engaging in sexual acts.

Being trans to them is actively paedophilic because it exposes children to the concept of sexuality and gender. Sex ed will be paedophilic to them because it does the same. Each person's actions are not the sole thing that defines them, but also their position in society as dictated by "what it has always been". Men have always led households by marrying women and having kids, therefore men that don't are a threat.

Conservatism is quite black or white when it comes to things like identity or introspection. It is an ideology that very frequently wages war on self questioning and exploration in exchange for compliance and conformism. It's why many conservatives hate universities, scientists and partially why they hate immigrants. The entire ideology grows by appealing to people who do not want to be intellectually challenged. It's especially attractive to those that don't want to understand other ways of thinking.

Conservatism as an ideology always exploits the greatest potential weakness of the left wing: naivety, and presents itself as the "responsible" or "reasonable" solution to a reckless and harmful left wing. They frame things like empathy and humanitarianism as weaknesses rather than virtues.

It's why most of the conservative rhetoric revolves around "being taken advantage of" or "being scammed by" this or that group. They love stories about immigrants exploiting the system, cheating or stealing because it proves their worldview that what's foreign and unknown is out to get them. It is an ideology driven by fear.

And the biggest problem is that, unlike progressivism (which also has its ideological vices and weaknesses), conservatism never seeks to help the weak or empower the vulnerable. Instead it seeks to maintain the hierarchy and keep people in their place. In the US that translates to keeping immigrants weak, keeping black people down, keeping women in the kitchen, keeping white men ahead, keeping the US as an imperial power, and keeping its allies subservient.

Yeah that is the case. Utah has the highest porn consumption per capita, I recall.

The more anti-porn a society is, the more they secretly consume porn.

I have noticed that there is still a huge anti-porn sentiment here as well, that of course, narrowly focuses on porn addiction and extreme genres of pron and generalizes those things as something everyone who watches porn is or must become, rather than acknowledging most porn consumption is limited/casual and porn has a ton of genres and varieties and flavors.

I swear Pornhub has released a similar report in the past that did check out the same way. And the same with gay porn.

Yeah, and if it did, I feel like it's their vigilante fantasy scour. Not genuine crank material. Either way, unhealthy obsession.

It doesn't say whether VPN exits are counted either.

Honestly, I think it goes deeper than that, I think that many guys that go for trans porn actually are very into it, probably because it's such a "taboo" subject for them.

It's similar to whenever there is a Republican or conservative convention somewhere, immediately it becomes a Grindr hotspot.

There are boat loads of gay / trans people in those extremist communities, because of course there are, and while publicly they will bash anything LGBT, privately they get off on it

See also that mega extremist church pastor that would constantly bash the gays and then got caught snorting coke from a gay prostitute

Edit:to add to this: I think that most trans porn made is not primarily made for trans people, but for men. Similarly to how most gangbang porn also isn't for girls, it's for men. Sure, trans people and girls can watch it, enjoy it, everyone is free to do whatever as long as they don't hurt anyone or thing, as far as I am concerned, but the main audience is just plain men.

I have no issue finding trans porn that isn't dehumanizing and has no slurs.

Thats hilarious, so so on-brand
