Contemporary libido

[Mr. Tea]

i have on more than one occasion found myself coerced by biological urges to share my bed with the menopausal demographic and i will not have this matter slip into the dark seas of taboo!

In the aughts the sex symbols were the shiny people who live far away from you. And there was something obviously fake and trashy about it that fed into the whole experience- photoshop, plastic surgery, prestige. Fake perfect people in a real, or at least relatable world. And that there was a need for augmentation actually made the entire thing more viscerally sexual in the way it nodded towards earthly imperfections. Now the people are real- the random girl in yugoslavia is without the means for surgery or photoshop- but the sample size is infinite. the algorithm finds the 1 in 1 million perfect symbol every time. theres no element of imperfection- your looking at sprites, angels, unearthly beings. And they stylize themselves in an unreal way. Even those not specifically doing cartoon cosplay are are out of space and time in that the spaces they are photo'd in give no acknowledgment to any space outside the room. the screen is the entire context. Real perfect people in a fake world.

Interesting

Why and how please. I lose the thread when you start talking about the algorithm

 

[line b]

it means the internet

 

[Mr. Tea]

it means the internet

You can just say 'the internet' if you like. We're all friends here, right?

i want to get involved in this but limburger refuses to explain it to me. its like how we will never ever teach him the definition of Rave he has to discover it for himself

 

[line b]

I feel like I've explained it clearly!

internet boners are different than Tv boners. thats what Im saying

What does the internet boner do to the pysche that the TV boner didnt?

its tad different. algorithms via apps and websites pluck from the infinite field that is the internet all the beautiful people. I thought since were talking about anime cat girls on tik tok that everybody would understand what I meant by algorithm.

oh ok.

 

[luka]

the word parasocial got invented a few years ago as part of a way to think of this didnt it?
you could certainly get obsessed with an image before, as stalkers attest to, but without nearly the same
access and constant content.

Internet sped up evolution and certain things have reached their logical ends. Like hands said with the perfect beard thing. Fashion. Music. Culture. Sexual imagery/presentation/libido. Basest level it's ever been? Can it go any lower without crossing into straight up porn?

 

[luka]

me and woops sit broadly speaking in the breast and arse eye level zone, that's our scanning band. not cos we're pervs, its to do with chair height.

 

[pattycakes_]

Said before but internet is the ultimate mirror

 

[luka]

so we notice events like the shorts that leave the bottom half of the arse exposed, side-boob and underboob, no bra....

 

[luka]

should probably say developments rather than events

 

[catalog]

OK so you mean telly bandwidth was comparatively narrow compared to net lung burger?

 

[Mr. Tea]

"We're not pervs or anything, but the average amount of arse on display in the 20-35 female demographic has increased by 3% per year on average since 2015. Approximately."

 

[line b]

yes. hence the need for all the augmentation- photoshop, surgery and etc. Now theres less need for that because the internet will just find the perfect image ready made without need for any added effect. Patty and Luka are talking about the culture of contemporary libido which is worthy enough but I was more interested in what happens in the brain when you see a hyper-real image of a movie star in a bikini by the pool for a perfume ad vs. the more contemporary image of an internet it girl taking pitcures on her webcam in the dull box that is her room.

I think it's less about brain cos that just goes pudda pudda pudda and more about what changes sociallly and aesthetically about what can arouse pudda
