If one thinks porn & climate change aren't problems, I can't take them seriously

[oldhandle]

Not really, many people make that their life's work:

You act as if it's a total shocker that people are super anti porn.

I am shocked, but then again i am not normal guy. If porn is bad then art must be bad too then. Porn is visual, and art is also visual. The line between porn and art is a thin one.

They are indeed both huge problems. That being said, I'd say climate change is a bigger issue than porn, by a solid margin.

I would say so too. Never did I say "they are problems of equal weight" no idea where people are getting that.

You just sit there and look at porn? Have you tugged your dick to vangos starry night and thought about sexually assaulting the painting? Porn is nothing like art. When you look at you say that beautiful when you watch porn you are imaging yourself fucking a woman.

His comment was so contentless I couldn't even respond tbh.

Because you categorized them left and right. If you left that part out, no one would have reason to think you were putting them on the same level. It sounded like you were saying, “heres something the left often foolishly rejects, and here’s something the right often foolishly rejects. And I can’t take either of them seriously because they’re both absurd”. 

The comparison seems implied.

I am saying that both are absurd and I can't take either seriously but I dunno I thought it was more IMPLIED that the end of the world is worse than porn.

Yes i just sit there and look at porn. No i don't use my dick, why would I do that. You are making the assumption that when people watch porn they have to use their dick, but you don't need to do that if you don't want to.

Jerking off is just boring for me.

@Peo how is porno interesting. Why wouldn't you just watch a television show. The only time I've heard of people doing it are the ones that became absolutely obsessed with it. Like fuck dolls and stuff. They sit around and watch porno for entertainment beyond sexual arousal like ita television programming.

@Hojo I dont watch videos of porn. I watch more like art-porn pictures. I like art, so i also watch nude art. Nothing wrong with that.

Also i don't do it that often these days.

High-art doesn't have a monopoly on what art is. This much is obvious. 

There is no one correct way art should make you feel in order to elicit emotion. Art eliciting disgust is equally valid as wonder and beauty.

Art isn't limited to admiration the same way music isn't limited to classical music. It would be like saying hip-hop isn't real music.

Games are art but for many it is just a toy. There are different ways to percieve and use art. Don't be limited by the conventions of high-art just because they use the same word.

@Basman can you answer the question? If I see a video of someone getting raped and murdered can I say this is art I'm watching? A real person not a video game character.
