and even if someone thinks "well I don't like/look at porn so why should it be a priority for me?" it's important to remember that when christofascists say "porn" they also mean age-appropriate comprehensive sex education, media with queer/trans people in it, and picture books about gay penguins.

They are so puritan they can't even say the word fuck, slurs are fine though.

Opposing fascist garbage is the only way to protect the rights of women, people of color, non-Christian religious minorities, queers of all types, sexual minorities, sex workers, and anyone else the christofascists don't like.

And genre books with sex, even if the sex is vanilla and heterosexual. (Largely doesn't apply to litfic.)

And somehow, they are twisting "porn" to mean history and fiction that includes non white people, non Christian people, especially if those people are not conforming to society as they would like it to be run.

it's a commonplace by now but it bears repeating: respectability won't save anyone. you don't have to _like_ the "weirdos" and "perverts" but you do have to recognize that the fash don't think you're any better.

Don’t forget that there was a state that, just this week, passed a bill outlawing any book discussing sex or gender in school libraries so broad and restrictive that it banned Shakespeare, Chaucer, the Bible, and the Oxford English Dictionary.

Am I crazy or is promising to ban porn an even worse platform than promising to ban abortion? Like, would even red states vote for these people?

We need to directly oppose Christian pseudo "moralitype" with an unapologetic pro sexual expression movement. We need to go on the offence and directly challenge Christian sex abuse of society

This also needs to stop pronto because when the dozens and dozens of - “Right Wing jackass who campaigned on PORN IS BAD caught with loads of porn!” stories then start to drop, my high blood pressure isn’t going to do well with chud media trying to spin it as a deep fake or some other idiocy.

Anti-porn feminist groups keep getting burned by this. They make an alliance of convenience with conservatives, then those laws get used against stuff they support, like info on contraception. It’s incredibly foolish.

Also even if someone doesn't like or look at porn their friends and family likely do so their rights and safety should remain a priority for them.

Some people don’t actually know pornography when they see it. Ok that’s not accurate. They do, and just pretend not to, and cudgel other people into going along with their definition without question.

What they are seeking is the legal authority to declare things to be "porn" so they can ban them without review. Still amazing that these shits are the same ones endlessly whining about "censorship."

Hi I'm from the 80s. I remember the age of Barbara Bush and the Satanic Panic. Scott speaks the truth. Everything they don't like is pornography. I have heard them call rock music porno, I've heard them call D&D porno, I've seen them call marvel comics porno. I've seen them call video games porno.

They also mean any artwork that they don't like. And photos of you in your new bathing suit having fun. And photos of people who they think are sinful simply for existing.

Picture books about gay penguins….sounds like what happened to an author I follow. A bookstore cancelled a big order of his illustrated kids book because *gasp* two male penguin partners! Bless the fans, they swooped in and bought the whole lot of books!

They mean anything that calls men to slip...cover those shoulders, ladies. Also, men will have to constantly ogle women to make sure they aren't too revealed.
