I say pornhub releases all DC IP addresses if it goes through.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

They should release their search history and announce which of them have been banned as well, whether it goes through or not.

The definition of obscenity necessitates a lack of "serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value."

This bill won't ban porn, it'll just make it all require a plot.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 months ago (3 children)

If porn becomes a political issue (because one political group is far more likely to support it's prohibition than others), then technically, couldn't it be argued that creating and sharing it has political value as a protest of the effort to ban it, and therefore that it has political value inherently?

If that's what you need to get there, no kink shame here.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I can see no fault in this logic.

There's already some good plotlines. My favorite is the Lemon Stealing Whore. Tier S writing there.

So said the Supreme Court; so, too, can that Court change its mind.

This bill is part of Project 2025 and the aim is to make it illegal to be a trans person.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

The end goal of project 2025 is to establish a Christian nationalist fascist government, strictly enforcing gender roles is just part of that

so ao3 is probably fine

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Of course it's Mike Lee.

Fuck Mike Lee.

With Marry "Hitler did nothing wrong" Miller as cosponsor.

This will bring down the price of eggs.

Isn’t porn a staple of the religious conservative? I’m sure they will vote for this in the belief that it doesn’t apply to them.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No, you’re thinking of gay porn. That won’t be illegal if you are just doing it for research.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 months ago

I guarantee this douchebag has a very weird search history on pornhub. Like amputee clown porn. Or latex and animals. It’s something odd. I mean if that’s your thing and it’s legal go for it. But something that would cause a lot of pearl clutching if it was made public.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Losing the incel vote probably won’t work out for their numbers.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

So many incels are no fap though or were recruited through Christian nationalist pastors

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Sure, but do you honestly believe they’re telling the truth?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Meat for the base, this will go no where

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They said that about abortion or DEI

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

No, I think it’s time we started taking shit seriously. Clearly laughing and brushing it off, being in denial, hasn’t been a good strategy for us collectively

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Porn is part of my religion.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

I will also join this religion.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

Probably this doesn't even come up for vote.

In the event it does, well, they just went to war with the biggest streaming platform independent of Google. Do they have any idea how much muscle PornHub has if they were so inclined?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

This exists purely to put the opponents of the bill on the side defending porn.

Land of the Free

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

this "party of small government" really hates the first amendment?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

And then they will render all Anti-Trump talk obscene.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

That’s definitely going to work. And not a huge fucking waste of time or money.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

REMINDER THAT ONLY ONE PARTY REMOVES RIGHTS.

And that's the party the majority of voting Americans voted for.

Hope you all enjoy this sinking ship.

Thank the good Lord, I get so bothered when I see a woman's ankles.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

Why not just require ISPs to block it? That’s what many countries do without having to go through the trouble of criminalizing and prosecuting the consumers.

I don’t agree with the spirit or purpose of the law nor with banning or criminalizing. But one is less harmful than the other.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Because the point is to be able to enforce it arbitrarily. To be able to Target specific people and groups. Being harmful is the point.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Need every possible excuse to send people to El Salvador

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

But one is less harmful than the other.

Lol. We're talking about the Republican party. Their fetish is to hurt Americans. And American's fetish is to be hurt by them.
