New Bill Would Make All Pornography a Federal Crime in the U.S.
(www.404media.co)
Do it, cowards.
God I hope they do. It'll be hilarious to watch how quickly all the incels turn on Trump. Not to mention all the married Conservatives who hate their wives.
yeah, except this is the first step in Project 2025 to genocide trans people:

Pornography, he writes:
[is] manifested today in the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children [. . .] It has no claim to First Amendment protection. Its purveyors are child predators and misogynistic exploiters of women. Their product is as addictive as any illicit drug and as psychologically destructive as any crime. Pornography should be outlawed (Roberts, 2023: 5).
This invocation of pornography is intentionally broad, vague, and amorphous. By equating trans issues (“transgenderism” and “transgender ideology”) with pornography, child abuse, and misogyny, this vision takes one step toward the outlawing of trans people altogether. Roberts (2023) goes on to detail the draconian and restrictive mechanisms necessary for eradicating pornography and all that comes with it: “The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned. Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered” (p. 5). Such extreme rhetoric signals a no-holds barred approach to regulating gender, sexuality, and privacy. Aware that more left-leaning states would be unlikely to arrest trans people on such counts, the document later details a wider plan through which the Department of Justice would intervene and prosecute any local officials not willing to bring criminal action against LGBTQ people (Hamilton, 2023: 553).
It always comes out the people writing and advocating for these end up the sickest and most twisted sexual deviants out there
ALWAYS
This will backfire spectacularly. Red states are bigger fans of porn than blue.

You know what's crazy? The part about feeling shame. There's been some recent studies about a lot of previously diagnosed sex/porn disorders and addictions being tied to shame due to misinformed religious conservative upbringing. If anything, we need to be talking about and teaching more about sex. Not learning about it correctly leads to hangups and shame about the human body, love, and self love that makes you nearly incapable of showing or expressing yourself correctly. That's why all these conservatives are so fucking weird.
The lowest my self esteem had ever been was when I was religious. I'd avoid porn and masturbation for months on end, 6-8 etc, but eventually I'd get a little too turned on and "succumb" to it. I remember hearing peers discuss it as something disgusting, and I considered myself too impure to consider having a relationship.
I won't say my self esteem is amazing now, but I feel much better about myself, and don't think of myself as some terrible sinner who doesn't deserve happiness.
They are also scared to touch their own buttholes to clean them properly. If you talk to any of them, they are against using bidets.
Is it because they know that Russian porn is better than American porn?
all the onlyfans workers need to join in from g spot to make G Force and flex some of that wealth if they want to keep that vector of wealth alive.
It would be for 10 hours, then Trump would remove the bill and be seen as an hero. As usual.
After 75% of the country comfits a felony?
Perfect! Now we can send so many more people to El Salvador!
doesnt even trigger me anymore. tomorrow the legion of dumbasses will come up with something way stupider. place your bets now!
Moon of America? ...been there fIrSt! Annex earth?
it will be stupider!
If you think the porn industry is exploitative and abusive now, just wait until they push it all underground.
I’m pretty anti-porn just like I’m very anti-religion but neither of these things can be killed by banning them. The idea that banning porn will somehow prevent people from accessing it when we know even people in NK or places like the Middle East can access it is just crazy, of course Americans will continue to be able to access it, and like you said this will just push production and distribution underground actually exacerbating the issues with the porn industry. I have few actual complaints about the end result of porn, I don’t believe it’s good or healthy but as a product to be consumed it’s only moderately harmful but the production of porn is where the real evils are found. This will lead to those in the porn industry being abused at rates and in ways currently unfathomable or illegal.
Just think about the popularity of the "schoolgirl/barely legal" image as it currently exists in porn. If it becomes just as illegal to hire a young-looking 25 year old actress as it is to exploit an actual child, a lot producers will opt for the latter.
Woah, that's a thought that hadn't occurred to me. You're absolutely right.
This is true about almost every vice. That's why Prohibition didn't work. Almost as soon as alcohol was banned, people started making very adulterated products, people died, organized crime became a thing. It's the same idea with cannabis, sex work, other drugs, etc. The result of prohibition is almost always people getting hurt.
This is exactly it. A couple of days ago there was an Ask Lemmy thread about the legalization of marijuana. My entire argument is "Prohibition of vice does not work and only empowers organized crime." This has been proven over and over again throughout history. It shouldn't even be a question anymore.
It’s more complicated than that. It /did/ work in some sense. The prevalence of severe alcoholism was insane prior to prohibition and it dropped precipitously. The problem is, the cost of prohibition is so many actual lost lives. Both from unsafe supply and organized crime.
A public health approach also can reduce the harm of alcoholism while not creating new deaths. It’s worth understanding the difference so we can expect, for example, pot to become more abused after legalization, but if public health measures are in place, limited harm.
Nothing that you said contradicted anything that I said. We are agreeing.
At this point, US politics has gone far beyond the point where we can make jokes about morons voting for the face-eating leopard party. Anybody who didn't vote for Kamala Harris because she wasn't critical enough of Israel, didn't do enough for LGBTQ rights, didn't have enough left wing policies, etc. is now reaping what they sow.
How's that 100 years of "voting for the lesser evil" treating you?
Better than it would have been if we were voting for the greater evil.

Seems to me it helped build up all the things we’re worried about Trump destroying.
You know what? Great response

Someone should make a bunch of AI generated porn of Mike Lee being gang banged by like 40 huge black dudes and post it all over Facebook.

Oh wow, I hope they do it. Nothing is going to upset the MAGA crowd faster than losing access to the trans pornography they view in the privacy of their own homes while condemning publicly. I'd imagine a lot of them are not going to understand VPN.
Nah this type of law exists to be selectively applied, that's what makes it so great.
The only people who it will be applied to are those who are "undesirable" or step out of line.

Well yeah, they're fuckin' morons. The same thing almost happened to Canada, had Poilievre ended up winning.
I remember when conservatives said they wanted people out of their bedrooms. Well... as a forever alone, what do you think I do in my bedroom every night?
So we gonna have people in the corner selling uncensored like in japan?
