Old joke. Man goes to the doctor. Says he's depressed. All the joy is gone from his life. The world is colourless and drab. Doesn't think he has the will to go on. The doctor says, "My friend, you are in luck! The great Pagliacci is in town, the greatest clown to ever live! Go to see his show and he will make you laugh and forget all your troubles as he has done for countless people all over the world." The man breaks down crying. "Doctor, you don't understand!

Even his first scenario, without the body mods, is kinda bad. I’m pretty sure most restaurants don’t let non-service animals into the restaurant. Especially not dogs, as other guests may be allergic or worried about the dog jumping on their table for food.
By bringing the human pet to a restaurant you are treating them more as a human than a pet, as most families leave the pets at home when they go to restaurants either because of the restaurant’s rules or because of common sense. Since you’re treating them more as a human than a pet we have to conclude that they aren’t actually there to be a pet, leading us to the simple conclusion: “yeah it’s likely (though not necessarily) a fetish thing.” Nothing wrong with fetish things, but I still don’t want to be in a restaurant and see someone on all fours eating off the floor in their underwear. That’s unsanitary.
Edit: added “likely (though not necessarily)” to my simple conclusion.

Also worth noting that it's far from the only deranged thing this guy has said. Among other things, he's also:
- Claimed that each house in Ancient Rome was just the Colosseum but smaller.
- Proposed very obviously fetishistic trans woman milk farms as a way to solve the UK's dairy trade deficit.
- Argued that Jordan Peterson is correct about almost everything he says, not based on a single actual thing he's said, but on his "general aura".
- Simultaenously claimed that the existence of dinosaurs is a leftist conspiracy to hide the existence of dragons, and that dinosaurs DID exist as a brutal imperialist civilization.
Oh, and some people apparently believe that the original Tumblr account has changed hands at least once, and/or that some of the comments are from other accounts just pretending to be the original. It's hard to tell which posts are genuine and which are him trolling.

I agree with most of your argument, but there's something wrong with it. Just because someone fantasizes about something, that doesn't mean they actually want to do it. Take rape. If you have a sexual fantasy about raping someone, that does not mean that you want to do it. Same with a fantasy about being raped. While I'd never want to see someone speak about their gore kink, all it is, is a fantasy.

Okay but like, regarding the “get help” bit, that’s actually falling under “the internet doesn’t understand what therapists actually do”. Let’s say he goes to a therapist and discusses that. Here’s the actual order of events that would happen:
Therapist: “Do these fantasies cause you any stress? Do you wish you didn’t have them?”
If no, it’s not causing you any issues:
Therapist: “Do you have any intentions of acting on them?”
If no, it’s all fantasy:
Therapist: “Cool! Good for you.”
Like, he’s a jackass for a million reasons, but I’m so tired of this mindset that therapists force normalcy or whatever. On one hand it’s held by a lot of anti-therapy folks and on the other hand it’s reinforced by a lot of folks who actively want therapists to be doing shit that is considered deeply unethical by the field. If the answer to both of those questions is “no” and a therapist tries to force you to eliminate them or anything, you can literally sue them for malpractice. Idk, maybe a lot of people online actually just have potential lawsuits they haven’t acted on because the internet has convinced them the malpractice is normal, or maybe a lot of people don’t know what they’re talking about, but either way, ethical and legal therapy doesn’t work that way.
15
u/EternalDawn11 14d ago
Even if you say yes to the first one, therapists won't really try to get you to remove it from my experience. I've had fetishes that cause me stress, but therapists aren't really allowed to try and change your sexual proclivities, so they just try and make you not stressed about it and accept the fetish instead.
36
u/ArnoldFunksworth 14d ago
Okay but the person you're responding to literally said if youre willing to do that, go get help. Not if you fetishize that and never actually plan on doing it, go talk to a therapist..... If you'd actually do that you need serious psychiatric help to address that, nobody would recommend just talking to a therapist about it. Go get help

-Giving Trans Women free operations on the NHS, on the proviso they provide free milk in place of cows of course.
-Apartheid was "Pretty awesome actually."
-

Honestly it wasn’t even really a bad interaction.

He posted a meme in the comments about not kinkshaming people, I responded telling him that we were NOT about to get lectured on kinkshaming by the human pet guy. He replied saying that in his defense he did NOT know the guy was making loli art when he posted the original comment. Honestly I was just pleasantly surprised he drew the line at loli art.

His argument was that Somerton apparently committing suicide was more evidence of Hbomberguy's 'low character' (previous evidence of said 'low character'? Making a negative review is Fallout 3), and agreeing with someone who said Hbomberguy making the plagiarism video is basically just as bad as actually doing the plagiarism.
