If you're wondering about who this bill is actually targeting...
"Pornography, manifested today in the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children, for instance, is not a political Gordian knot inextricably binding up disparate claims about free speech, property rights, sexual liberation, and child welfare," it states. "It has no claim to First Amendment protection." ___
It's also targeting cishet vanilla porn. Fighting this is going to involve prudish trans people working alongside gooning transphobes.
Is there a porn genre where someone reads you an academic queer theory tome? I think a lot of Senators could benefit from sapiosexual gooning, and C-SPAN could broadcast some thrilling filibusters
This guy is definitely jerking off dudes at rest stops.
Or grooming children at church.
meanwhile the outrage over church rapings remains completely nonexistent
The good news is that a large portion of the top pornography sites are owned by a Canadian company. The true north strong and actually free.
Okay but that doesn't have any bearing on Palantir planting spyware into every American personal computer and deciding if your browsing habits are considered terrorism and taking you to a blacksite because you looked at an AI image of Lola bunny naked.
There is no good news here. If you're not actively calling your Senators and demanding privacy and threatening grassroots campaigns to get them removed from office, you are letting them take away your most personal freedoms.
It's honestly not much at this point, but even a single deciding vote could delay this fascist takeover of our personal lives.
Step 1: outlaw porn Step 2: call LGBTQ folks pornographic Step 3: outlaw LGBTQ folks You see where this is going. Outlawing porn is laughable and stupid. But then you see the hidden agenda and it's fucking horrifying.
Step 4: get caught with literal LGBTQ pornography
You forgot the step in between that mandates Palantir to embed spyware into every personal PC to monitor what you look at and report your deepest secrets to an agency with AI tools designed to judge if your kinks are dangerous to society or if reading historical accounts of slavery can be considered "pornographic."
Guys, this is VERY serious, they are going to start locking people up for looking at material that they decide if it's obscene or not. This should be getting spammed on every gaming board, 4-chan, Asmondgold's subreddit, every fucking place that out-of-touch gaming chuds hang out and tell them very clearly that their support for Trump is going to get them locked up for looking at hentai.
I wonder how many people have tried to flat out ban porn throughout the years.
While it's not a new idea, every time has led to suffering and persecution, and it should be taken seriously every time they try because it's not about porn, it's about controlling and monitoring a population and removing "threats" to the new order they are trying to establish.
