This is the internet, and you're communicating via text. One sentence can give no information about a person or their thought processes except that which is deliberately stated.AnarchistFish said:This isn't something I really want to get into cos it's a bit offtopic and pedantic, but paedophilia in general has been demonised to the point that even the mere suggestion of it terrifies and angers people, and that is definitely the fault of the media. Yes, it's a perversion, and yes it's possible for people to hold those views independently, but to be honest, I think that's the less likely option. "It's ok to physically harm someone if, they're a paedophile!" doesn't seem like an independent thought process considering the context. As far as I'm concerned.Darius Brogan said:Indoctrinated? Really now? It's an opinion. One differing from your own doesn't imply some form of forced thought process.
For all you know, I could be literally screaming at my computer right now, or I could rolling my eyes in disgust, twiddling my thumbs while a slave dictates what I want them to right, or any number of things that directly contradict the tone of the paragraph.
Pretending to be a psychiatrist and using a single sentence to presume some form of indoctrination, simply because their opinion differs from your own, is arrogant and stupid (No offense).
I apologize for going off topic and whatnot, but I've seen literally dozens of forums filled to the brim with people saying "Oh, you said 'this'? You're obviously a twelve year old sitting in your parents basement trolling, because 'this' is what you were thinking when you posted" and "You clearly have mental issues, because saying 'that' implies 'that' about you and how you think. I know this because you said 'that' and this' and it definitively means that you are a single, middle-aged male who shops at 7-11 daily just so you can see the cute girl behind the counter and fap to her late at night"
Imbeciles thinking that they can garner definitive information about a person, their life, their emotions, their thoughts, or any other facet of their life, simply by reading a few lines of text, irritate me.
Once again, I meant no offense, and your implication was comparatively mild, but it's a trend that needs to stop.
