You keep making that hand-wavy distinction, without any backup or precision.
Quote (emphasis mine):
You say: Some fictional violence [...] has no emotional content of note
You say: Both fictional and real depictions of sexuality can carry emotional content
I'll assume you're trying to make the point that fictional sex is worse than fictional violence. I further assume you don't really know why (hence your imprecise wording) but have this diffuse belly-feeling that this is how it must be, because that has always been your belly-feeling.

- moe 15y agoSorry, I didn't mean to attack him personally but tried to point out the reasons that I suspect behind this kind of lazy arguing. These "belly-opinions" are very widespread, a more verbose description would have been: "I can't give exact reasons for my opinion but it feels like that's what my parents|peer-group|church|society|... would agree with". I felt that the verbose version would have been even less polite.. but oh well.
