Studies have shown that in places where porn is blocked, rape occurs at higher frequencies than in places where that is not the case, possibly due to higher levels of feelings of frustration and repression. This may be only one website now, but if others likewise follow the trend out of fear of litigation... then Texas may become a much more dangerous state to live in in the very near future, even compared to what it already is now.

Yeah! Personal rights! Personal choice! We shouldn't have government telling us what to do.

Conservatives crack down on policies involving porn

Plus when you consider Texas' abortion policies...

Might as well rename the state the Republic of Gilead.

Sounds like it works right into their plans for controlling the population by forcing people to give birth then. What a hellscape. I'm so sorry for the good humans that live there.

[-] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 years ago

Why do you think they're doing it? Republicans don't get born out of consent.

I don’t understand, why not just mandate that parents should implement parental controls or something instead of blocking it for everyone? I think this is more the religious right agenda in action. Edit: not what pornhub did, but what TX was trying to do

[-] ohlaph@lemmy.world 96 points 2 years ago

Texas needs to control people because they believe in small government. How else do you display freedom and amall government other than restricting rights and punishing people? /s

That's likely what they wanted and pornhub said "no, were not spending money to implement your fascist bullshit, instead no porn for you. Good luck."

The murder and rape rate are about to skyrocket in Texas sadly enough.

[-] mostNONheinous@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago

They already had 26,000 rape related pregnancies, just 26,000 rape related pregnancies, NOT 26,000 total rapes.

I thought the same thing when I read that. I mean, there are other porn sites, but it'll still drive up sexual assault.

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

Pornhub will lead the way, it's extra cost and no business wants that shit.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago

Because they oppose porn for everyone

[-] acetanilide@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

Except the gay porn, for themselves

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

They oppose that too. Many are the Anthony Comstock type

Texas makes up nearly half of the US's domestic oil production, no way in hell they'd ever let that go.

Looks like woods porn is back on the menu.

[-] tdawg@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

oh! Didn't know other people had those

When I was maybe eight my good buddy convinced the tennagers to let us hang out with them

They had a hang out area out in the woods. You had to climb under a fence while one of the strong kids lifted the bottom of the fence up. On the other side was a "river" you could cross with a swing rope someone had attached to the tree above. (it looked like a massive river as a kid. But after having gone back as an adult you could easily hop over without much notice)

Anyway, we ended up going back there pretty regularly just as a way to get away from where the adults could find us. We ended up finding this massive stash of magazines one of the older kids had at the spot

I was too young at the time to be interested but my buddy ended up stealing a couple so we could look at them with our other friends

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

i was raised in a dense city, still aware of the woods porn

For any who don't know, these folks got raided by Swedish authorities, who left empty-handed.

[-] GluWu@lemm.ee 33 points 2 years ago

Both mullvad and proton are trusted top VPNs. Either is fine, look at both and choose which ever one you feel like. There isn't a wrong choice.
