Oh wow. Those MAGAS are going to freak out when they find out. Good to know the internet is not connected to any international sites and VPNs are a technology we’ve yet to invent. Would love to get data from @Pornhub to see which states drive the load (?!) and whether Mar a Lago IP is burning hot.
George Lakoff is correct.
The right need a strong father figure. A patriarch telling them what to do & what not to do; who treats them like unruly children.
But at the other end of the continuum the TERFS & Tankies are no different.
Strange bedfellows.
Not new.
Cf progressives & temperance.
It’s amusing (derogatory) to me when they rationalize opposition to gun reform by saying that if someone is desperate for a gun they’ll use extralegal means to obtain one; yet they suggest that prohibitions on porn, abortion, immigration, etc… will result in the total cessation of those activities
It’s like a few years ago when folks on the right claimed the Green New Deal would outlaw cheeseburgers. Except it’s true. They’re already, really, doing it at the state level. And porn is more popular than cheeseburgers!
Criminalizing porn will piss off a majority of the furry fandom. And that's not a good thing. Plenty of us are in major tech fields. We help make the Internet wrong. We are not just some minority they can squash.
This is already happening. The NC legislature passed a law that you have to show photo ID to providers, and providers have to turn over lists. They CLAIM it’s “to protect children,” BUT.
1. Devices and internet services already have parental controls
This might swing a lot of teens and younger men to never vote republican again. They weren’t upset at controlling women’s rights, and didn’t speak out at all the other injustices that the Republicans dish out, but this one would affect white republican males.
But isn't it a fact that Conservative States actually has high level of porn consumption?
Also, at least anecdotally, things would suck for the Senator from Cancun. (I'm certain this goes for a number of other congressmen.)
Yeah, I was raised in a high demand religion & porn addiction was rampant. Perhaps this is an expectation of conservative constituents who've been trying for yrs to get their followers away from porn they've added drastic measures to cut it out via higher than appeal to personal morals.
According to mainstream conservatives, a child rapist like Trump is the perfect moral exemplar who should lead the crusade against the sexualization of children
chris, many of us survive and thrive because of the industry, and it is NOT going unnoticed by us. i’ve been in a total spiral and have lost all hope. i won’t be able to survive without it i can envision having to go the criminal route & being imprisoned. it feels like no one cares
Heard a podcast that talked about how Project 2025 was going to gut the VA and military benefits. Makes me wonder how they are going to recruit because all they are going to be left with is required service to man the military.
Comstock Act, gleefully laying waste to the countryside with fire and flame as the townsfolk flee in surprised panic, breaking the fourth wall and turning to the camera: Oh, you didn’t read ALL of it, did you?
Donnie Darko had these people’s number back in 2001, including the vague use of the word “pornography” and the main character’s Bush-supporting father nodding along even though he doesn’t seem to like the evangelical woman elsewhere in the film
This will only make things worse. If you're going to jail for having porn, it might as well be child porn.
It's happened before. If you're going to jail for drinking beer you might as well drink gin. If you're going to jail for smoking weed you might as well smoke crack.
We talk a lot about the abortion part of Comstock and not enough about the “imprisoning people for their politics, knowledge, rhetoric, art, and identity because they’ve been deemed obscene by religious extremists” part.
Hey Chris, how come no one where you work is talking about the GJ info from the Epstein case showing trump being given oral sex simultaneously by two young girls? One of them 12 yrs old?
Not sure why MSM rants about Joe's age and 'failing' then, ignores things like this.
Mind boggling.
The party of *actual* CSAers trying to criminalize sexual material used by consenting adults. Because of course. Because it will target everyone other than white cishet “traditional marriage” christofascists.
Even Ted Cruz, poster of niche-kink porn actresses?!
Oh wait, that was a staffer for really good reasons had his phone and posted porn for some reason.
Most porn actors are non-political, libertarians or republicans (see Stormy Daniels) and that has never made any sense when Democrats are the only ones right now who don't want to end their livelihoods.
Hilarious you are deeply analyzing something written by interns in the Heritage Foundation. Your brain can melt down from that, you know. If you want to say "that's what Trump will do", umm no. They are all anti-Trumpers. He loves porn.
Outlawed by the people who sleep with pornstars after fantasizing over them after watching porn. Then paying them off so their wives don’t find out. Yay.
The entire project can be distilled down to authoritarian control. That is what they want. They want to do away with freedom, right, and the privacy to live a life that you choose. They want good little drones working for the government, doing the will of the government.
