      yoooooo, can i ask u a question?
      can i pls know where did you get your sources for the legend saying that Qin Shi Huang had a secret male lover?
      i did a bit of research on Qin Shi Huang and found nothing, and i also tried finding some info on Jido/Peng Zu and only found this:
      “Jidō was a boy who served Emperor Mu of the Zhou dynasty in ancient China. One day, he committed an offense by stepping over the emperor’s headrest. So severe was this offense that he barely escaped being put to death. He was driven from the court and banished to Mount Rekken. Feeling pity for the boy, Emperor Mu secretly gave him a headrest upon which he had written two verses from the Lotus Sutra and he taught him to recite these verses and pray every morning." ...blablabla etc... its from “Jidō of the Chrysanthemum” (Kiku-Jidō) :3

    I like the part when you mentioned that the boys misbehaved and were still as rowdy as any child today. It shows they still rebelled in spite of the various forms of abuse. It shows that their acting out might have been a way to get some amount of power here. They raised as much hell as a child can in an abusive environment. And it shows that today's children not getting worse- children were always little terrors. Ours are not stealing real swords to play with.

      It wasn't just about the age, but also the fact that the act was completely non-consensual, the students were forced to do it because their masters had complete authority over them, which probably completely messed those kids up mentally and inflicted and incredible amount of pain on them.

      @@carlosandleon Dude. I don't know where you are going with your argumentation and I don't want to know.
      My point is: In those societies atroceties were normalised. That doesn't mean they are not atrocities.
      That is what cults do, they try to create these secluded societies in which horrible acts are normalised. That doesn't suddenly make these acts just okay.
      The exact age of consent or exact kind of relationships that should be disallowed for a certain amount of time can vary - I'm no expert in that field, but as long as studies show that it does not have a high chance of harming you anymore, it's acceptable.
      Also just to debunk some information about Europe because I'm an actual european person (from germany, to be exact): This whole thing about or ages of consent being incredibly low is bs for two reasons.
      1. With age of consent we don't mean the exact same thing as americans. There is this misconception that the aoc in germany is 14, aka that you can legally do the deed with a 14 year old as an adult. No, you can't, you will go straight to prison. Age of consent for us usually means "Age from which you can legally have sex". As a 14 year old you can legally do the deed with other minors above the age of 14, but NOT with adults. You can legally do it with adults only once you are an adult (Or have a difference of at max two years because obviously it's okay for a 18 and 17 year old to be together). This counts for lots of european countries simply because we mean something slightly else with "age of consent".
      2. Just because something is technically legal doesn't mean it's socially acceptable or considered normal. Poland has an age of consent of 15, as in, from the age of 15 on you can have sex with people of any ages. That is NOT socially acceptable, though. Many eastern europe countries suffer from aged judical systems, but society is still progressed. If an adult openly has a relationship with a 15 year old in Poland they will be extremely frowned upon. And called a p-phile.
      Laws are not necessarily what determine what a society generally sees as morally acceptable. At all.

      Don't forget that not so long ago, slavery was considered a normal thing.
      All the "religions", from Christianity to Buddhism, consider celibacy to be some sort of virtue and strictly control exposure to knowledge.
      Kings and queens also preferred pacifist yes men to be priests, so that their rule could be legitimised.

Almost a third (28.9%) of Indian children experience CSA and 90% of the reports involve a family member, so being "nearly as bad as incest" isn't saying much. Both of these numbers are from the Ministry for Women and Child Development and were reported on India Today last year.

The mountain monk had reached Satori, or near enough that he was attended by "Celestial boys" that were said to be "beautiful". When I first read this story years ago I thought it was just a detail to show how holy they were. Now I think that story is a horror story parading as a story about Enlightenment. Thanks for that.

    I did some research on this after reading the manga "dead man wonderland" because there is a character in that manga who is a nihilistic murderous psychotic monk, and a big part of why he became that way is because he suffered heavy physical and s abuse as a child from the older monks; it was the first time I really stopped to think about the fact that just like with catholic priests who are surrounded by altar boys the Buddhist and shinto monks are also celibate and surrounded by young apprentices and the horrible implications came to mind. I did some reading on the matter and it turns out yes, this kind of thing has never been restricted to the catholic church only, basically any situation in which children are placed under the care and orders of adults 24/7 runs an extremely high risk of developing into an abuse situation, so yeah, never send your kids to school, church retreat, summer camp, boarding schools, military schools, boy scouts or Buddhist temples/ Indian ashrams if you don't want their chances of getting molested to increase by quite a bit.

    Religions existed as a way to lay down and idea or I guess guidelines for people to make sense of the world around us. But, some people don't like change, or maybe those in the past with religion had an overall great experience with it so we passed down these teachings. Until books, computers, and now Internet is now a thing to keep all information. Religion helped make sense of the world, but now we know better thanks to the ability to pass down knowledge. Our past experiences and knowledge don't get passed down to our kids so, for a very long time everything was always "new." I'm sure there's a video out there somewhere that talks about how the now growing population is smarter now thanks to the internet.

    Being from an Esoteric subsect of Buddhism that is more focused on the philosophical side of things rather than theological tradition? I think more people should know about this stuff. Among other things. Because I think it's sort of unfair that Christians(Catholics in particular) have the big market cornered on getting ridiculed because of the questionable morality amongst their clergy. I strive to remain critical of all faith, including my own.

      Good, every clergy is human after all. They have mistake or desire on one or another, they're not holy, they just know a lot about their religion
