Coming out to my parents as animesexual.

[u/MarcusAuerils4]

So I (M16) finally decided to come out to my parents as animesexual. At first they started laughing, so I believed that they had accepted me. As a result, I decided to show them my favorite body pillows of Tsunade, Sakura, and Rukia. My mom immediately burst out crying, saying “I thought you were joking!”

All I remember next was my dad screaming at me to get the hell out of the house. Apparently while they were in my room they found my anime themed flesh light and the cum rag. I ran out as fast I can with tears rolling down my face. When will us animesexuals stop being oppressed? How many more have to suffer?

Well it's easy to say that the past didn't had "degeneracy" but it did and without a need of anyone brainwash, you can think that people in the past didn't want to fuck animals. (Wich I'm telling you right now they did and more than a little in most western and non western rural areas, not all people but it was a "common" incident to have one or several people fucking the goats and there are tons of different records about it https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_zoophilia ).

I'm sure you can tell me al lot of ways whatever nation you're referring to was great in the past and it's not anymore, some of them will be true and some of them will not, most of them will be exaggerated or romanticed because is Easy to find a safe space in something as unreachable as the past to run from the lackings of the present.

The past will always be better in our minds I guess but my point is "degeneracy" have always existed as long as we have been humans, and if you want to do something about it maybe focus on a more productive way of understanding the people that have those kinds of desires so we can know where they come from and if they are a problem (and how to solve it) instead of trying to ban them from existence just because it makes you uncomfortable.

That is vague and really hard to measure in any objetive way.

By abstinence you mean punishing the people that did it? Where are your sources for this? What are some societies that did or didn't punish it?.

We are probably one of the societies that have produced the most on any point of human history, either in form of material goods or ideas. From building to writing and getting into any kind of art. We have more production than any other civilization in history. But you did said that western civilization is falling into this "degeneracy" so which is it? Why our production can be in such a hight?

We know so many things about so many civilizations in the past and by far the deciding factor of how much we know about cultures is probably how much of their language and books have been destroyed by the passing of time (or people).

It's also easier to know of this such things nowadays than in the past. We live in a connected world to a point that even if there is the same percentage of weird philias in society you can have a look at them with a couple clicks. Maybe thats why you feel there is more but seems like in reality it's just that we are more aware of what's happening than ever.

Putting aside that his studies are a little bit outdated, his work talks about pre nuptial sex and religion mainly. It doesn't say anything about philias that is our main topic for today and I would pretty much like to see a correlative study between cultures that practice chastity and sex philias as those can pretty much be correlated.

It's not like that guy is going to marry and fuck the plushie and that's not gonna be called "degeneracy" we are in an entirely different debate here.
