Average gamer: "Ugh gross, if her looks don't make me want to fuck her then who cares? We'll just fix her with AI"

Good old Germany, always adding new lines to "First they came for..."

I think I read some of the testimonies from the court psychologists (publicly available), though my memory is fuzzy on it. The general consensus seemed to be that he didn't have any interest in CSA and was genuinely trying to relive his childhood but without the exploitation and abuse he encountered.

Assuming that's true and accurate (and with his level of financial and cultural power that's a huge assumption), his behavior was still highly inappropriate and boundary-crossing. A rational person would also ask themselves if he would be reasonably capable of determining what an environment free of abuse and exploitation would even look like without years of therapy and/or introspection.

• Feels hot ✅
• Things are horrible and always getting worse ✅
• Can't feel joy or hope ✅
• An ancient and malevolent patriarch controls my fate ✅

Gang I think I've come to the scientific conclusion that we're all in hell

Ironically the poison? Not poison.

Sorry about that, it does feel a bit ambiguous doesn't it?

I think I just wanted to gauge other people's thoughts and brainstorm a bit but if you feel it'd be better to move it I can do that, your call.
