I struggle a lot with intrusive thoughts because I have OCD, so the idea that there are people out here who think it's a virtue to think whatever you like is almost offensive to me haha.

Furthermore, I think we can go without the judgemental bullshit about people's age.

No, ask any psychiatric professional.

Brains have the capacity to produce an unlimited amount of absolutely repugnant possible thoughts that simply do not need thinking.

Without the ability to pre-filter thoughts, a person is unable to function.
