Re: Are Traps Gay?
I get you, sir. I mean, before asking, I should have cited the referenced material myself. More than that, though, it's also a great opportunity for everyone to get an idea of the study that was performed, what was discovered, and how far they've come as a result. Basically, an opportunity to subjectively observe the information available and participate in a civil discourse on the material available.
That said, you do drop the word "bias" a bit and to that, I also must agree. Unfortunately, when something becomes highly politicized and/or money is involved, the views and results can become eskewed based on what is more beneficial for the researchers in a given field. An example here (inb4 someone calls me uneducated or claims I'm a denier), the "climate change" community. I'll never deny that Human's as a species are contributing; but, as a skeptic of all things since 2012, I'm disinclined to believe our contribution is so substantial that our planet will be destroyed in 20-100 years. Climatology is also currently a highly-politicized field, so the scientists in that field have more to gain than they do to lose by "adjusting" some of the results to fit the narrative.
Basically, I get where you're coming from with the bias thing and before I go further off-topic, I'll end it with "be lazy, but I want that silver plate" and go do some research on my own.
I do remember shit I read (content mostly), just like that stuff about marriage happiness in other thread. No fucking clue what that research was named, took me long enough to find it then for charts, wasn't that long ago and I already forgot xD
Literally how it can go: me, toilet, bored, phone, searching for books/studies on topic, sharing if I find ones I was looking for xD
Or, I could call a friend and ask all the titles of books I need, but... I didn't contact her in quite some time, so I don't want to go with all this "hey, how are you?" bs to get what I need.
Funny thing about climate change (I agree that humans don't do enough damage and actual changes are something natural, drilling holes in ice proved that), is that few years ago there was a leak of certain e-mails showing that they are pretty much lying to us. But, as unconfirmed as those were, it should be held as possibility and not a fact until proven.
Skepticism can go both ways, there are points where serious questions and problems can do a turn and people question proven things just because they can. To the point of no point and can affect morality or ability to question anything at all.
Kinda back on topic, if you ask me if I think that being attracted to traps is gay, I will say: gay as fuck. That's my personal opinion, but according to knowledge we have, it's not that simple. Technically, being attracted to traps is not gay, rather it's quite the opposite. Traps often posses female traits, with face being a huge, huge factor. Shit, I would even argue that being attracted to traps have more to do with our minds not being capable of processing fast enough and literally being confused.
Like, futa: it's a female with a dick, what I do??? Cognitive bias, fast response: Be attracted/don't be attracted. Give it more time and that answer may change, but first quick response will probably stay the same.
Same goes for social norms. If we were living in society where majority of people had far homosexual leanings, straight people would be seen as weird and out of place. But we aren't so it's other way around. Problems start when there is a forceful agenda in shoving something into society that isn't the norm. Sure, it can get accepted and just be there, but that requires both sides to agree on it. To completely shift norms, people need time, or more like, generations. Effects of that will be shown after even more generations.
But unfortunately, we already see negative effects of some things.
If I start talking about what we can already see, this will turn dark, really dark and uncomfortable for a lot of people. This can cause anger and need for an enemy to fight, especially for people that have different beliefs. Continue this long enough and on much bigger scale and it can turn into ideology war, which is some scary shit. Mostly, because "enemy" can be easily dehumanized and with such image in mind, people tend to do most fucked up shit. We have seen it many times in history.
I am not saying some topics should never be talked about, but there are places and time for everything.
SEE THIS SHIT? And it's only barely seen tip - of a fucking iceberg xD
