I'm not delusional because it happens in real life. Try reading Terry Crews' Manhood: How to Be a Better Man or Just Live with One (where he talked about pornographic addiction, stating that it had a negative impact on his marriage and personal life) I also don't think there are any studies that disprove this fact at all?
Besides, I'm not talking about casual watching, because obviously there's no problem with that. I don't think I'm making it seem worse than it is because it is that bad. How is pornographic addiction a good thing? It rewires a person's brain negatively and separates the addict from reality. It can interfere with important stuff if you're ADDICTED to the point of no return. Since when did I say that porn as a whole is bad anyway when I watch it myself?
@Faust - Probably because I was being half-assed when saying it, of course it's obvious.

addiction is bad, nobody is disputing that
but watching once a day doesn't make you an addict. Addiction in medical pathology means that you're going after it even though it's clearly to your own detriment, there needs to be some sort of impairment. It's dysfunctional behavior.
If you are simply doing something regularly, that doesn't mean that you're addicted. If you watch porn daily, that doesn't mean you're addicted to watching porn. Far from it.

He's giving "arguments" (idk what term to use) that had no correlation with what I was talking about. How'd that make sense? I know his point, but I'm really confused as to why he's talking about it.
I've said it over and over that watching porn during leisure time is most definitely ok. It's just that if you watch it too much and let it control your mind, you'll end up being a degenerate. Nothing delusional about that.

Whenever someone uses the word 'degenerate' unironically I get triggered a little
Is it because you're a degenerate yourself or..
I hear taking things too seriously causes problems too.
But we're not into that right ?
Also Railey just loves to carpet-bomb words because he's smart and can English his way through.

most arguements get turned into a dick measuring contests on this thread its rely nice
Sick of people pm'ing me and thinking I'm a girl. Most weeb Filipinos in the channel think this game is a dating site.
A dating site that they think they have a chance of picking up girls from.
Clearly no one in their lives has told them to fuck off yet, it's up to you dude.

Too much porn doesn't make you a degenerate. Being a degenerate makes you watch too much porn. There is a difference.
In my opinion, both are true.
Too good.

Can't be. Watching too much porn suggests there was already something wrong in your life in the first place. Maybe you ain't gettin' any good pussy, you're ugly, un-social asf or w/e. No one with a decently functioning life would watch porn and become addicted to it when the real thing is so much better and easy to attain.
But it happened to Terry Crews who was already a successful actor and footballer. It happens. Just not that often though compared to the point you made.
There was already something wrong with him to begin with, just because he's successful doesn't mean there can't be something wrong in his head. Unlike drugs or alcohol, Porn isn't the kind of thing you watch then suddenly become addicted to but much like drugs and alcohol it's a form of escape. There is a reason why you're watching Porn, there always is.
You shouldn't be questioning the act of doing things, rather, questioning the reasoning behind those actions.

Fair point.
It's basic understanding of human psychology. Railey was saying earlier that too much Osu makes you a degenerate too when that's wrong. Playing too much Osu means you're already a 'degenerate' in the first place as those people clearly have no better substitute than playing this game for countless hours.
It's wrong to say that having a lot of money makes you rich. If you have a lot of money, you're already rich in the first place!
the distinction you're making here is completely nonsensical, EneT.
Plus, addiction doesn't always happen for rational or predictable reasons. It can just happen without anything pointing towards it. Maybe people had a rich life before they started playing osu, but then just dropped their other activities one after another while increasing their playtime until it turned into something bad and compulsive.

Now you're the one being nonsensical. The example you give has nothing to do with psychology. There is a root to all addictions and it can stem from something as simple as having an addictive personality, which is a problem in of itself. If you're going as far enough to drop other activities to the point it becomes bad and compulsive, there's something wrong going on inside your head, be it consciously or subconsciously.
so having an addictive personality makes you a degenerate cause there's something wrong with your head?
You do realize that many people with addictive personalities live completely functional lives? it just means that they have a greater potential to become addicted. Sure, addictions have roots, but these roots themselves can hardly be enough to call someone a degenerate. Many people who have them end up living perfectly normal lives.
What you do is akin to calling someone with a great business sense rich before he actually earned something, because after all that may the condition that allows him to make a lot of money later on...
You're a degenerate if you exhibit degenerate behavior. The definition of degenerate (in a social sense, which is how rurree used the word) is tied to how people perform as a part of society, nothing else. it also has nothing to do with psychology.

I also don't like how degenerate was used in this conversation; this is why I referred to it as 'degenerate' in this post.
The way degenerate was used here, for me points to the psychological effects prior to and during addiction, so he didn't fully imply it in the social sense. It has everything to do with psychology. He may be using it in the wrong way but the word degenerate itself fully implies the decline of your psyche.EneT wrote:

if you let it control your mind, aka if you give into it any addictive potential you might have and start exhibiting degenerate behaviour, which means prioritising porn over more important things.
note that the point here is, that you are only degenerate when you actually let it take control, not when you are in a group where the risk of it taking control is increased. You turn degenerate once you start being addicted, just like you turn rich once you make all the money. You aren't degenerate just because you have an addictive personality, and you aren't rich because just because you have a good business sense.

Your 'being rich' analogy is completely different; you're looking at a completely different perspective to what I'm saying.
When it comes to getting addicted to things non-drug related, there has to be a certain level of decline in your head. That doesn't necessarily mean there's something wrong with you, but it can. Maybe you're experiencing a stressful situation or just not thinking right. In the case of this conversation, you need to already have a certain level of degeneracy (mental decline) to become addicted to something. People don't just become addicted to something out of the blue like that. Addiction doesn't cause degeneracy, it just increases it. You don't have to exhibit degenerate behaviour to be a degenerate. You guys are just using the word degenerate in the wrong way as it's commonly used as an insult for people that exhibit that behaviour.

you define degeneracy as a psychological state that can even be there in the absence of degenerate behaviour, i define degeneracy as degenerate behaviour.
i can't see how your definition is useful, because even perfectly functioning people could be defined as degenerates, according to your definition. Degenerate is a very strong word, hence why it should be reserved for people with very severe social impairment.
But that's just my opinion, can't tell you to use the same definitions that i use.
Semantic arguments...

Yes, and the way you and most other people use it is the wrong way to use it; that's why it's clearly separated as 'degeneracy' and 'degenerate behaviour'. The only reason it has a strong connotation for you is because of the way it is commonly used as an insult for fucked up assholes. It simply means a decline of psyche but since people nowadays use it as a word to insult people who have outlandish morals or shitty social skills it gives off the wrong impression. It's brainwashing hammered onto you due to society.
You can keep using the word however you please since that is how it's commonly accepted as but since Rurree used it wrongly in a psychological sense, then fo sure imma go psychological on you hoes and use it in it's true, psychological meaning.

heyhey now. Let's not call it an opinion that i hold because of brainwashing, when it's clear that degeneracy is a word with a dozen meanings, and none of them are even used in clinical psychology. You don't get to decide that your definition is right and mine is brainwashed. As it stands, the word isnt something that has been defined in psychological terms, so different definitions are to be expected. That doesn't mean that only one is more right than the other, they can just be more or less useful.
Yeah... no. It's psychological meaning is already defined and the way people commonly use it nowadays to insult others stems from this definition. Yes, it can have many meanings when used in different fields as it's most basic definition is the deterioration into a lower level but since in this case it's used as an insult derived from it's psychological meaning, then the definition you hold is still due to brainwashing.
In the past, you could have held up that argument as it was used to insult people of lower social status such as minorities and poorer people but the way people use it nowadays to insult people of low social skills and questionable morals directly stems from it's psychological definition.

you can go ahead and call everyone brainwashed who doesn't want to call people that function perfectly fine degenerates, but i have to tell you that's quite an outlandish thing to say.
You say a degenerate could even be someone who behaves normally, while i claim the opposite.
small correction on my part, i meant to talk about the word 'degenerate', as a description of a person, not of the word 'degeneracy', or the word 'degenerate (adjective)'.Railey2 wrote:

I can see where you're coming from but it's still wrong. I myself don't use it in it's true, psychological meaning normally either. I don't call normal, functioning people degenerates; I use it in it's commonly used definition as an insult. That doesn't take away the fact though that this negative connotation is wrong and due to brainwashing from past and present popular culture.
Girls in England call each other slags as an insult, but does that mean the original definition has an negative connotation? No, no it doesn't.

language changes all the time, that's the nature of it.
The word 'nice' used to be an insult, while the word silly used to be a compliment!
Original meaning matters little. Language is constantly evolving.

Original meanings still matters. Words need to retain some kind of semblance of their original meaning for people to understand how words nowadays derive from so that the language doesn't derail like it has done so in the past.
the two examples i made show words that derailed in the most extreme way (the meaning reverted completely), but i doubt that anyone would see that as something bad. There is no semblance of the original meaning there, but i bet you didn't even know of it. They are just regular words that became different regular words. Nothing wrong with that.
Yeah I didn't know. That's a pretty cool fact of the day.
Still, nowadays people use many words in the completely wrong way and this in turn becomes a trend. In this case, the language isn't really 'evolving' per se, merely changing due to misconception. There has to be order, even if it is in something minuscule such as language.

that's what evolution is. A change caused by error in translation, something that was misconceived and turned into something else because of it.EneT wrote:

Language doesn't follow the dictionary, the dictionary follows language. There is still order, even though the order from today might not be the order from 100 years ago. What matters is that people at the time can understand each other.
Whatever you say man. Evolving suggests an advancement and I don't consider using words in a completely different way an advancement, I consider it a degradation. Just look at the use of slang words. You really call that an evolution of language?
I don't, that isn't advancing forward, that's going backwards.
That's a rhetorical question btw for others to reflect, not to reply to. You can give your opinion but it won't necessarily mean that I will care for it or that I will reply. I'm tired of this conversation.

i'm sure people from the 1400s would have really looked down on Shakespeare for using such a degenerated (tehee) language in his works.
You consider simply doing things differently a degradation? Most conservative statement i've ever heard.
Either way, singular words changing their meaning (which happens all the time), isn't really what causes language to degenerate. What really sets things off is changes to grammar...
