I think that a lack of social restrictions and pressures regarding sexual promiscuity will, and does, have a negative effect upon our society and is not a positive thing. It leads to a trickle down effect that eventually results in rather young children (around 12-13) becoming interested in sexual activity too early.

I don't see how the unorthodox sexualities are specifically connected with increased sexuality in youth. Privacy in sexuality isn't compromised simply because that sexuality isn't normal. In fact, a lot of times, privacy increases in those instances to avoid judgement.

However increased media coverage of any sexuality can and definitely will expose youth to it, regardless of the nature of that sexuality. It is often the case that unorthodox sexualities are displayed in media with a higher impact than their orthodox counterparts, and thus they can have the potential to influence younger people more so.

I wasn't talking about unorthodox sexualities, I was talking about sexual activity in general. I simply spoke of the silly LGBTQIA+ thing before it went on to promiscuity.

You mean to say that the acceptance of having more diverse sexualities would influence younger people to display more sexuality of their own? Do I have that right?

I would say yes and no. Yes if that acceptance is made out to be a big deal and thus displayed in media with a higher impact, as I said before. But not necessarily if that acceptance merely becomes the norm and isn't made out to be a big deal.

It is true that the former is generally the case, this day and age.

No. I'm saying, the increased rate of sexual promiscuity outside the bounds of marriage is not a positive phenomenon.

Ah, I see. Well that's merely a matter of perspective.

Sorry, I thought you were trying to explain something more objective in nature with your point. Specifically, the cause of increased sexuality in youth.

classic anti gamergate logic^

Funny how gamergate logic works exactly the same way

Ummm...

>claims to be about ethics in games journalism

>ignores facts and harasses people

This is probably b8, but on the off chance it isn't, I'll bite.

The main difference between Gamergate and Gamerghazi/Antigamergate or whatever the opposition likes to be called is that we have actual evidence of collusion, impropriety and a coincided effort to slander and libel the gaming culture within the gaming press. All you guys have is tenuous cases of "harassment," and by harassment I mean pathetic rogue twitter accounts that are just the typical case of your everyday average troll. Brianna Wu's harasser in particular seemed oddly specific what with their name being "DeathToBrianna" and had virtually no ties to Gamergate.

What was originally "hey you guys can't do this in journalism, it's ethically dubious" got misconstrued as "OMG SEXISM AND MUH SOJINY" because of these false correlations between Gamergate and female harassment. It's a classic example of how both the media and progressiveness will try to find any link, regardless of how unsubstantiated it may be, between real world examples and their half baked rhetoric.

A jealous ex boyfriend doxxing someone is NOT "evidence of collusion". This is just like the celeb nudes leak except Gamergate tries to make excuses for being scummy.

The only reason that you're against progressivism is because you will lose your privilage as a white male. Progressiveness is NOT a bad thing incase you were too stupid to realise unless of course you're a disgusting social conservative.
