Visual Novels are evil?

Bullshit. The success rate for childbirth starts dropping considerably at age 35. I'm not an expert on the topic but I'd say average women becomes infertile at 45 or something. Infertility ≠ failure rate.

They do become infertible later, yes, but the quality of the ovaries starts decreasing before that, rising the % of pregnancy problems.

 

 

Also, it's true that decreasing the population would be good in the long-term. The problem is, people look for the short-term consequences. And one of the short-term consequences is that countries with more population have more potential to become richer and more powerful in general.

That's true, more or less.  tbh, though... until we start building colonization ships in orbit, we really should be enforcing population controls in developed nations to keep consumption under control.  People are too stupid to think in the long-term, for the most part (heck, if I hadn't seen the results of failing to save money in my own family so many times, I wouldn't have put together such an insane early-retirement plan).  However, eventually people are going to come face to face with the results of failing to think in the long term... namely human extinction (worst-case scenario) or the reduction of civilization to pre-electricity levels over much of the world (quite likely, in another century).

 

Worse, when you factor in the nutrition problems, loss of arable land, and the sinking cities and islands from global warming... it really isn't long-term at all (unless you are stupid enough to think that a mere fifteen to twenty years in the future is the long-term).  Believe me, fifteen to twenty years is a drop in the bucket... I hardly noticed most of the last twenty-five years passing, in subjective terms, and I remember how I thought I'd probably die of a heart attack from clogged veins long before we saw the North Pole get to the point of no return (which it is at now).  Unfortunately, I'm still alive (though as fat and doughy as ever), and it is sad to say, almost all the predictions they made back then have come true... frequently faster than they said they would.

 

So what is this rant about?  Mandatory birth control implants, of course *Clephas looks at everyone else reading the thread as if they are idiots who should have read where he was going with this long before, despite the fact that he never hinted at it*.  We need to implant everyone with birth control, or sterilize them (one or the other) so that the Illu- *coughs* concerned parties can assure the prosperity of humanity.

Many of your guys have brought it up already--yes, VNs are surely too niche even in Japan to have a significant impact. Despite all the disagreements, his video did now get some new views from our end  :P.

 

When I bring up VNs, I've had people tell me in person, "Oh, so you play/make those kinds of games  :o." Never meant in a hurtful way but the assumption comes pouring out. 

YOU'RE CAUSING JAPAN TO DIE OUT! Dx

Meh, I can understand why. While personally I don't think VNs or pretty much any pornographic content could ever make real women a moot point to me, I can see how people can use them to cope with both their sexual and emotional frustrations, and then not see the point in switching over to actual people. 

 

Although claiming VNs are the cause is a little much. If anything is to blame I'd say it's the general stigmatism associated with sex, and by that I mean that sex = kids = ruined life. Not to say kids are evil or anything, but the time and investment (both monetary and emotional) they require really turn their appeal down. If you want to get ahead in life, you probably don't want kids for quite awhile.

I remember this goddam video and how i went on a complete rant about it to my friend about it.

 

So in short my rant went like this. "Most of the vns that are made aren't the effect of anything. They were a genre that became popular, so the industry kept making them. Soon the vn dominated the pc market so more more vn were made. Vns are so popular because of the declining birthrates and marriages not the other way around. Vns aren't making males unable to form a realationship with women, it's because of the failed relationships with females that they turn to vns in order to fufil their relationship desire. Vns are not "brainwashing" males to become more inclined to 2d women. The real women are so demanding and expect a lot more out of the males that then either the males fufil that or they turn to 2d women. So in short the vns are a product of the declining marriages, birthrates, and relationships, not the other way around."

 

Btw thanks rooke and ashadow for helping me to remember most of that with your own thoughts.

Wow, I have the houner of seeing my own thread necromanced. Thanks for that, Zykiel! And I do agree with your opinion (now, anyways). Other members have suggested that I not take youtube videos too seriously. I've been trying to do that ever since... To an extant :P.

And thanks for returning the discussion to its original topic! Dam derailing... ;)
