An outlet they need is fuckin therapy, not sex robots, tf.
Idk maybe im fucking crazy for that but if I got an urge to murder specific types of people and my "outlet" is roleplaying it or using a videogame to do it. I should probably seek some fuckin help. Not keep doing it. It doesn't matter that it's not hurting anyone. It's unhealthy, doesn't actually help them, and could escalate into them doing even worse things.
Keep in mind, 1st person shooters or violent games deadass dont count. Intent matters. I can say "yea I love driving over people in GTA, its funny af" and thats fine, but if I confess that I enjoy targeting certain types of people in GTA; that I like attaching personalities or life stories to them, and then talk about how I like to find different ways to kill them slowly because x, y, and z. That I don't do it as a joke but because I get a genuine kick out of it; That's a cause of concern, cus I know some people that did shit like that and turned out to actually have mental issues and thoughts of harming real people.
Like I get this is an issue some people are born with, but at a point, shit like that becomes a problem. Especially because it's porn. To me, Porn in general is just a slippery ass slope. No I don't wanna start fuckin crucifying ever non-offending pedo I see, i ain't that kinda person. But for the love of god, can we normalize them getting REAL help instead of these "alternatives". I just feel like the more you involve yourself with a fantasy bot, the more you're gonna forget that this isn't how real people work and the more the line between fantasy and IRL can get blurred.
I mean idk man- im slow, maybe I got it all wrong I truly don't fuckin know some times. But this is just how I feel, and its fucked up to me that shit like child abuse roleplay just goes unchecked like that or that the people that do this kinda stuff should go unchecked.
Not again...
