The Objectivation of the Forbidden
If you forbid something it becomes dangerous. Specificly in the case where the forbidden is not ment to be thought about or interacted with in any way. Forbidin ideas promote unhealthy relationships to the ideas. It keeps you from understanding what is forbiden, and why it is forbiden. We forbid ideas because we are afraid of them. And in doing so, refuse to understand forbidden things. This often lead to forbiding things that have no reason to be considered dangerous. Often the truth of things is found in what our societies and social groups have called "forbiden".
It is through understanding that things become clear. This is why we will use the word "perversion". What ever understanding is, the perversion of somthing could be the oposite. Or perhapes, "objectivation" is a better word. Often is seams, when we refuse to interact with what some"thing/idea/person/thought", we like to create a characater of the idea, a strawman whos soul perpose to to be betten down, to be proven wrong, to be used for a perpose. In the way that subconsious things are, emotionally tangled with our sence of self and sence of truth (or belief of what is true).
One realm this aplys to is Porn. There is a objectifyed/perverted type of porn. That which trys to hide itself. The porn ment to be kept secret because it is evil. Your fasination with this new world of emotion is evil. You hide this part of yourself, create unstable, unsutainable ways of interacting with those outside of yourself. A objectifyed/perverted porn make you live in fear. The unexsamined fanticies then have the opotunity to live in a land apart from reallity. The emotions that come from this strawman have no baring on what is real. When the strawman tries to interact with reallity it will end up hurting someone, because it does not try to understand, it objectefies.
The side effect of this can include poor self body image. A violating view of the nude human form.
Christianity is a palce full of forbiddens. From the perspective of young earth creationism, Evolution is a forbidden idea. As someone raised in creationism, you avoid thinking about anything that may raise uncomfortable questions. Things you cannot understand become a emotional minefeild.
I do wonder if/what things we should not think about. There certainly is a danger of tramatisation from learning somthomg if its taught in a bad way. We know what it might be to see murder, we know that it is bad, we do not need to learn about it in excrutiating detail. Or sexual asalt. The gas chambers of WW2 germany. There is a reason why we do not educate young children about what these things are.
