I'm not huge on most Marvel movies, I don't have a desire to watch half of them again, but this guy takes smug to a next level when reviewing them. Like we get it, you're a kino connoisseur who is above the tastes of the simpleton masses. Now shut up about it.

Fucking hardly though.. the only pre 90s movies the dude has seen are Jodorowsky or Kubrick.

I don't know, I love his yearly lists but I think he tries way too hard to be a smug asshole in his reviews and it's just lame as hell.

He’s also the type of person who thinks that animals can give consent to humans fucking them. Can’t really look up the video since I’m at work, but the guy has a lot of problems. Not even Mike or Jay are that fucking smug

Wait, like, he said it's okay to fuck animals?

Thank you for linking to the original video in the description so people can see the full argument, but I do not see why you left out so much of it. I stand by my controversial opinions. I do not believe that sex with animals should be encouraged, but I am wholeheartedly against imprisoning those who have had non-abusive sexual relations with animals. To say that there is no such thing is incredibly ignorant and illogical. Objective reasoning matters more to me than emotional gut responses. I do not believe in putting innocent people in jail just because "Eww, gross.".

here's the video i was talking about

What Adam has repeatedly said is that it is hypocritical for people to be punished for beastiality when more atrocious things (in his eyes) are being done such as selective breeding. He has never condoned beastiality.

I didn't even have to watch the video. He showed up and commented that have sex with animals can be okay.

What the fuck

u/lordDEMAXUS Feb 18 '18

Except he has not and has never said it is ok. He says it is hypocritical to punish those people when others who do more atrocious things have no reprecussions.

That's just a bullshit argument.

Why?

u/[deleted] Feb 19 '18

Can't you see he's implying implications?

Hear me out: I don't think his argument here is entirely wrong. I'm a vegan so I obviously come at this from a different angle, but when he says its hypocritical to kill, forcibly inseminate, imprison, and abuse animals but draw the line at beastilaity, I think that's true. We already sexually violate cows to produce milk on a mass level and very few people seem to have a problem with it. I find all of it rather horrifying honestly, but if you're not a vegan, chances are your diet involves harming animals on a much worse/larger scale.

We already sexually violate cows to produce milk

Sounds like someone's grown up in a society which excessively associates breasts with their use during sexual intercourse as opposed to, you know, the actual point of them.

A mother breastfeeding her children is not having a sexual experience on any level.

u/[deleted] Feb 18 '18

You're completely missing the point. What they're saying is in order to continue producing milk, cows have to repeatedly be artificially inseminated. That's the sexual violation they're taking about.

u/number90901 Feb 18 '18

When I say sexual violation, I’m taking about artificial insemination. Forcing an animal to go through pregnancy presents a whole bunch of moral issues every step of the way, but the artificial insemination process is the only part I’d classify as sexual violation.

u/number90901 Feb 18 '18

I mean, look up the methods used for artificial insemination. It's uncomfortable, non-consensual penetration of a cow, and used in the production of 99.99% of milk made for human consumption. I feel like that fits pretty much any definition of sexual violation. I'm not gonna argue about whether or not that's OK, because that's a whole other can of worms, but at least call it what it is.

I think he's referring to them needing to be pregnant to lactate, which requires us to artificially inseminate them over and over again.

Extracting a cow's milk is part of that cycle.

Yeah, if you're a baby cow.

u/number90901 Feb 18 '18

Well, the way that we extract milk from cows involves artificial insemination. So, while it is possible to get it otherwise (still a non-consensual act, which is the argument people always make about beastiality), if you're drinking milk in a first world country, you're drinking milk produced through a process that involves artificial insemination. That's just how it's produced, even on small farms. You can find videos of it on Youtube; it involves inserting a whole human hand and a chilled metal rod into a cow's genitalia. If that were to be done on any human without their express consent, we would consider it sexual violation. If you want to draw a different line than me on animal ethics, so be it, but it should be a consistent line.

And to your last point, animals also have non-consensual sex with other animals, but clearly, we don't include that in what's "natural" and therefore acceptable.
