I know smut may seem like a frivolous thing to be upset about, but crushing it is part of fascism. Controlling all forms of sexual expression is fascism. Only allowing certain kinds is fascism. Smut peddlers are always canaries in the coal mines.

Controlling telecommunications in order to "fight pornography" sound like they're creating a problem to get to the solution they really want. Any platform speaking out against them gets shut down, since there was "porn" on it somewhere. Trust us on this claim though, since we already deleted it.

With the most recent reversal of the Chevron defense, does that mean telecom can shake off all these illegal restrictions? It’s a dogshit decision but maybe there’s some silver lining?

It's also worth noting that some of these people consider the words "gay" or "lesbian" inherently pornographic. These attacks on smut cannot be ignored or dismissed.

The people who ban it will still be watching and consuming it. They just get off with pretending they are pristine and unspoiled so they can control us while they do it in secret.

Yep. And, sadly, there are plenty of repressed and hung up people, supposedly on the progressive side, who will gleefully join the Fascists in their quest. TERFs for example.

The mechanisms once set up that allow for the banning of smut are just as easily used to ban any other kind of media they deem inappropriate. At first it will be sexually inappropriate Then it will soon be historically inappropriate Then it will be politically inappropriate It won't end.

This is why when faced with "your comic could be more popular if it wasn't smut" I said: no the deviency is the point. Also most issues include gorey executions of fascists but that's unrelated. I just like drawing it.

Even if taking away our smut was their final goal and not a stepping stone to worse things I would say "fuck those fascists" who are they to decide you can't sell smut and I can't buy it, they're supposed to work for us and I don't remember asking for that.

It always starts with the smut, and then the list of what counts as "degenerate art" gets longer and longer and longer until the only art deemed "acceptable" is state propaganda.

Reading up on queer history proves this over and over again. I'm sure there's examples from other marginalized groups too that I'm not familiar with, but the hate against queer folk often stems from the harmful idea of queer relationships being "impure" or something that needed "curing/cleansing"

One white bible-thumper's smut is another free person's art. Project 2025 is attempting to make Christian Nationalism the rule of law in a country founded on separation of church and state and freedoms. Policing ADULT sexual behaviour and freedoms is a fool's errand.

They’re openly passing laws now but everyone in the adult industries has been watching this quietly happen through banks/credit card processors for years. They call it “risk management” but even when it’s stable and lucrative they threaten and shut down the ability to take money from customers.

Wait until you get a load of what they consider pornographic. Hint for at least one part of it: remember all that "Don't say gay" business in Florida? Well if you can't say it, do you think they will let you show it in any form? No matter how innocuous or banal? And then the arrests will start.
