Republicans are drunk with power. What a stupid fucking idea. There’s no chance of banning porn. Then they wouldn’t be able to jerk to Trans women and feel shame after.

Trans women are hot, in case that reads as though the shame is correct. It’s not.

It's part of the plan in Project 2025, to ban pornography and then classify LGBT literature as pornography

[–] WoodScientist@sh.itjust.works 37 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

The plan is to classify trans people as being pornographic by their very existence.

I read somewhere that Texas is trying (as in someone in the legislature) to make transgender people legally non-existent. Apparently the same shit I read is being attempted in the UK.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 8 points 9 hours ago

Logically, that means they wont have to pay taxes and can't be charged with murder. But we know the law wouldn't be applied logically.

You know what, fuck it. Let this one happen. I'm down for chaos when their own party revolts.

Shit needs to get worse and turn into chaos for anything you finally snap

I fully believe all the trans hate is self hate from "accidentally" finishing to a tranny video.

Also, any conservative guy with an eye patch lost it to a glory hole accident. They all claim it was a gun accident. The first thing I was taught as a child about fire arms was don't look down the barrel, followed by treat all firearms as if they are loaded. Followed by either. Don't trust the safety is working and/or don't rest your finger on the trigger.

But how would the Republican Party get their pedo porn?

It's not even moral horseshit. They just want people (primarily of the white variety) fucking and popping out kids instead of jerking it. They need more serfs.

To those weebs, who voted Trump, because "the transes" were mean to you for the loli hentai: this is on you!

Thank god, I can still jerk it to women's feet.

Gotta love it how one party steals rights away from Americans and it's always the one party that screams the loudest about "muh rights!" and they're constantly supported by smooth brains who just can't stop talking about "muh rights or you get muh bullets!!".

I'm still waiting for those bullets to fly but smooth brains are occupied now by trump jingeling some keys calls "no trans bathrooms" in front of them so they're a bit busy

[–] Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 32 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Your observation is eternal. During the American Revolution one person noted (I forgot who) that the people who clamoured the loudest for liberty also happened to be the hardest slave drivers.

Does everyone remember that bit from Scrubs about removing all porn from the internet?

We’re about to find out if it’s true.

Friendly reminder that only one party takes rights away.

And that's the party that got all the stupid fucks in our society to think they were the party of freedom.

They don't intend to ban anything. They're just creating reasons to lock people up.

They are, to a man, insane authoritarian shitbags. All they care about is control.

[–] CalipherJones@lemmy.world 195 points 17 hours ago (16 children)

The plan according to project 2025 is to classify trans people existing as pornographic. Wish I was joking. Been warning people about this for a year now.

Remember that the far right has been desperately trying to label any LGBTQ-related content as 'porn'. Educational resources? 'Porn'. Biographies about gay people? 'Porn'. Drag queens? 'Porn'. A book about a boy with two mommies? 'Porn'. Anything that acknowledges the existence of trans people? 'Porn'.

The purpose of this bill isn't to ban porn, it's to ban 'porn'. Anything they don't like will be deemed 'porn', and then this gives them the legal justification to ban whatever they want.

My question is what defines pornography? Will museums have to cloak statues of naked people? Remove a renaissance era painting because of boobs? How about a movie that has tasteful nudity? Or just ads for Victoria Secret?

John Ashcroft notoriously had the bare-breasted statue of Justice covered up in 2002 (uncovered in 2005) because there were so many public TV appearances at the Justice Department during the worst part of the post-9/11 changes.
