It caries a risk mostly with western stuff and there are some logs that people make to see how much you seed. As a light torenter and pretty low risk person the only time I recall getting a warning was pirating civ6

>>68945Torrenting is not inherently illegal.
Yes, it's visible, but only a very foolish ISP would give you trouble just for that. (you are a paying customer, and they hold no stake in any software - all they can accomplish is lose a customer)
There are other parties that might be interested in what you are doing, and contacting your ISP to tell you to stop. Depending on where you live and what copyright is enforced in your region, you may be careful regarding certain stuff. Your local music industry probably is on the lookout for local pirates. Hollywood in general has a pretty good coverage. Japanese stuff? In most of the world, it's not persecuted at all.
If you are still worried, you can set your client to remove the torrent as soon as it is finished. That mitigates the risk somewhat. This is because while your ISP can always see what you are doing, the people who would actually do anything about it have to lurk the trackers and pay attention to the activity there. Mind, this is not foolproof. If you want to torrent safely, get onto a private tracker, or download stuff that no one cares about (Japanese stuff).

I warn you against identifying with a diagnosis. Ultimately, it shouldn't matter what your accumulated symptoms are called. You use them as a shorthand to explain your problems to friends or coworkers, and you use your official diagnosis to get benefits from the government.
As for yourself: You should of course take your problems seriously, but not by taking them from a spreadsheet. It's way too easy and tempting to just argue that you can't do X because of a diagnosis you've got. Avoid that. Figure out what you need based on your personal experience.

>>70631"Sexuality
People with this disorder usually have little interest in sexual or romantic acts. They rarely date or marry. Sex often causes individuals with SzPD to feel that their personal space is being violated, and they commonly feel that masturbation or sexual abstinence is preferable to the emotional closeness they must tolerate when having sex. Significantly broadening this picture are notable exceptions of SzPD individuals who engage in occasional or even frequent sexual activities with others. Individuals with SzPD have long been noted to have an increased rate of unconventional sexual tendencies, though if present, these are rarely acted upon. Schizoid people are often labeled asexual or present with "a lack of sexual identity". Kernberg states that this apparent lack of sexuality does not represent a lack of sexual definition but rather a combination of several strong fixations to cope with the same conflicts. People with SzPD are often able to pursue any fantasies with content on the Internet while remaining completely unengaged with the outside world."

>>70631I think you underestimate the number of anons that are genuinely disinclined to pursue sex. Volcels, by modern terminology.
The mass appeal of the modern internet is diluting the original population of social recluses. But they haven't left the internet. Where else would they go? Small image boards are some of the best places to build their sand castles, away from the youngsters who are just killing time on their phones.

Even with friends, I am troubled by the intricate diplomatic gestures and using them to navigate the multidimensional field of affections, expectations and needs. I require frequent breaks from social interactions.
With a sexual partner, in a relationship involving the intermingling of private spheres to extreme degrees, I don't see myself surviving for more than a few hours at the most.

No.74032
Some of the manga, anime, vn, etc. trying to expose ¨the dark side of humanity¨ or whatever, try too hard. I think the authors who have been through something themselves are the ones who can say more about it than ¨yes this happens and it's ugly, look¨, it's hard to find a good balance. Also off-putting how some of them are clearly expressing their contempt for certain people in a condescending manner without offering an alternate worldview, at least.

>>74032>¨the dark side of humanity¨is a fucking stupid meme. I hate it.
I don't think there is a balance for it because as an accusation against humanity, it can't not ring hollow.*
There are important lessons about society or human nature to be learned. But that's not the same thing.
That said, is this really the right thread for that?
* That's actually not entirely true. Christianity for example (is it the root of the meme?) sees God as the origin of the value system and as the chief judge of humanity. With such a superhuman perspective, the meme can make sense.

>>74032It should be noted that
>>74016 is from a collection of oneshots that are all about unfulfilled women doing things they know are bad. (Seems like that's something she really likes to write about.) And I mean "marrying a man I don't love so I can have an affair with his friend" levels of bad. What happens in the story Anonymous posted is that cosplayer-chan takes otaku-kun to a hotel and undresses in front of him, but when he finds the real thing to be not that pretty when compared to 2D she tells him to kill himself, with the later reveal that sadly she really did like him. He's unable to move on while the girl seemingly does after leaving their circle behind. On the other hand, a later oneshot is about a girl being inspired to become a mangaka by an amateur illustrator friend who ends up whoring herself to death (yes, really) and the stories are in general presented as more tragic than critical which casts a good deal of doubt on whether the cosplayer was in the right.
