Lmao good luck idiots. Already tried it with alcohol, then with weed. How’d those work out? Porn isn’t even tangible.
It doesn’t need to be absolute in success, it just needs to be applied arbitrarily to further abuse out-groups.
If I'm not wrong that was the whole point of criminalizing weed.
which will also have the opposite of their intended effect and create more crime via black markets, trafficking etc.
They don’t care about crime at all, it’s just a dogwhistle for black and brown people. If anything, this is a benefit because it means they can inflict harm on more people they don’t like during the “crackdown”.
No, that is the intended effect. Their enemies will become criminals, which means they can arrest them and use them to justify further state power.
You mean “stated effect”, which you should know by now is almost always a lie, like when a politician’s lips move.

It’d make being transgender inherently pornographic, possibly allowing them to harass, abuse, and roundup trans people.
Guess I’m learning how to draw. I’ll make my own big dick futa waifu fuck my ideal big dick futa self.
Live your best life, fam.
Then post it for the rest of us.
Well we know they won’t ban grindr…
Sounds like a declaration of war.
All of project 2025 is the fascist declaration of war. When the heritage foundation architect said “the revolution will be bloodless, if the left allow it” he meant they will murder everyone who opposes their Christian fascist dictatorship. Everything left of fascism is “the left”.
From the bill:
Soooo they want stronger plot lines in their porn? Is that what I’m hearing? Something that they can sit down and watch with the family?
I thought that’s what softcore porn is for.
I never understood softcore porn. They go to all the trouble of setting up emotional amd sexual tension just to waste it on a hammy holywood makeout scene where all you see is boobs and bush.
🤷 I could say the same about a variety of kinks. It’s someone’s jam even if it’s not mine.
Am I missing something or can you just get around this by not having it on the Internet? Like you could just start shuffling a bunch of flash drives around.
It says that the content can’t be digital, you’d have to use video tapes or other analog medium.
Somebody trying to increase the value of their extensive VHS collection? 🤔
They just want to bring back porno mags because the old gezers keep getting viruses trying to find it on line.
You seem to be mistaken, sir: the primary purpose of this content is to promote dialogue on the meaning of interpersonal relations and the growth of human experience.
Maybe you just don’t have a good grasp on art studies.
I get aroused by the weight loss drugs, diabetes medication, tires, car, hear care product, online shopping, restaurant, grocery store and fastfood commercials! Can we get rid of those?
In case it wasn’t clear to everyone, the end goal here is not banning porn, but to classify being gay, trans, etc, as sexually arousing and ban any speech by anyone in those groups, followed by banning those groups.
I’m guessing they’ll completely shutdown HBO in the state then. Peacemaker alone would be enough.
If they think the illegal drug trade is bad, let’s think about the illegal sex trade!..wait…
Puritan idiots
I’m going to jerk off to this attempt to ban porn.

Cursed stretched 16:9 Dr. Cox

…well now I want to see the cursed one.
You asked for it.

Truthfully, I think it makes his head look more normal.
I wonder if either of them are actually the correct scene.
Yes, the 4:3 image is the proper scene.
Here’s the clip
Hey Americans, this is the future you’re building.
This won’t pass (not now anyway) but it’s funny they want to ban the bible. Or they’re too dumb to realize that implication.
Will be excluded (again) for cultural relevance or some similiar bullshit excuse.
Nina Hartley is also culturally relevant, CMV.
It already is excluded unless the primary purpose of the bible is arousal.
.
What’s “funny” is that you think they give a shit about consistency.
Of course this will not include the Bible
Don’t worry, I don’t actually think that at all. I’m one of the people who expects to be thrown in a ‘camp’ within the next couple years. I’m one of the people who’s been saying this kind of shit was coming for most of my life.
Right there with you, buddy. Stay safe.
You too.
They’re banning explicit manga AND erotica? Gooners, you gotta rise up and save the Michigan fujoshis and fudanshi!
In all seriousness, the real reason is clear, conservatives love telling on themselves:
Someone in the Michigan legislature got caught being too into femboys or something similarly stupid, probably.Bugs bunny is so fuckin screwed
<img alt="" src="https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/8836be0f-b37b-4a10-a711-129cb040b3c3.jpeg">
Fuckin Shakespeare is screwed.
I mean, this is the same guy that wants to criminalize homosexuality so that’s on brand.
But not gambling, cigarettes, day trading, doom scrolling, sub minimum wage gig work right ?
Don’t forget congressional insider trading!
Also pedophilia on private islands!
As a relatively recent country (by European standards), USA did not go through the Middle Age. I guess this is it. Enjoy the public burnings of heretics.
Presumably there were some native Americans in that part of the world by that point in time. I wonder what they were doing.
I’m sure they were not killing each other over imaginary friends, or debating whether mammary glands should banned.
Yeah that ain’t passing in Michigan.
While they all install VPNs for themselves.
The GOP really thinks there won’t be any more elections, don’t they?
Yeah, if trumples is still around by the next election they will try for a 3rd term with all the fun times that will bring.
But if he’s dead/has been trundled off to a gar gar home (he’s 99.5% of the way there anyway), then I think they’ll have a hard time of it.
At the speed at which this is happening, there won’t be, and I’m not joking.
No one is coming to save us.
Arm up. Train. Help everyone you can arm up and train. Form networks and use encrypted messaging apps to communicate.
I’m not going to pretend like I know how this will play out, but the one thing I know is that our federal government has been captured by literal fascists and they’re going to dial this up to 11 and see what happens. Maybe they simply don’t have enough national support to really pull it off. Maybe they do. I do know that you don’t want to be unprepared if they do.
It can happen here. We never thought we’d be where are are right now. But we are.
There will be elections. They’ll just be sham elections in the places where they’re overseen by Republicans.
So normal then?
Worse than what used to be normal.
100% with ya. Going shooting at my camp shortly.
VPN companies hearing the distant cha-chinging of cash registers.
GOP projecting again. Sounds like the party has a porn addiction!
Just came to say this.
Check this dude’s hard drive for petabytes of porn.
Which lawmakers are they?
I see it more as a step towards banning a ton of content they don’t like by claiming they are porn, or porn-adjacent (for example any LGBTQ+ content)
It was literally outlined as this in Project2025, ban porn then define speech you want to suppress (primarily LGBT but also women’s health) as porn.
.
Eight states have ID verification laws.
Oklahoma has tried several times to make viewing porn a felony.
Everyone laughing this off as impossible is not taking this seriously enough.
I’m in Florida and so many sites block or want to verify me that I automatically hit my VPN server.
Honestly I forgot porn was banned in Utah (id verification) and I live in Utah. Its still relatively easy to view sites without vpn or id
“if I am very against it no one will think I’m an elite gooner”
If they removed porn from the internet, the next day there would only be one website called ‘BringBackAllthePorn.com’"

Freedom of speech that we like and have previously approved in writing and in triplicate. Subject to terms, conditions, feelings, and whims.
Conservatives melting down
American Taliban.
Simple as that.
Domestic terrorists who typically look unkempt and dirty, attempting to oppress others.
American Taliban.
Hello, I assure you unkempt dirty people are fine people please do not associate us with these anti-human scums
They’re not domestic terrorists when they’re the ones in charge. They’re fascists.
They’re just making a market for someone to compile a 1TB “Best of the Best Cumpilation”, copy it to a handful of cheap terrabyte drives and resell them (to legal adults) in a verification state.
Hello, I am here to condone copyright infrigement and advocate for the abolition of the intellectual property regime and the criminalization of pro-copyright advocacy for they are enclosers of culture and therefore the enemy of humanity and should be ground into a fine powder.

Also, abolish Michigan !
Which is already illegal, which they know. It’s not about the porn. It’s about seeing what they can get away with.
They’re all velociraptors testing the fences
