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.
Bbbut... I didn't think the Porn Burning Leopards Party would burn my porn!
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.
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.
Anything related to queer identities could fall under obscenity by whatever arbitrary definitions they want to use.
No more pride or rainbow flags, no support groups for queer youth, no sex education, all of that is obscene.

Yup, it’s the typical conservative playbook: If you don’t like something, redefine it as something unpopular. Then target the unpopular thing, so democrats can’t oppose it without inciting “this democrat voted against a bill to protect/stop {sympathetic demographic} from {unpopular thing}” smear campaigns.
Step 1 was equating trans people with sexual predators. You keep that messaging consistent and constant. Find stories of trans people doing normal things, but spin it as if they’re dangerous. Invent stories if you need to, because debunking them takes a lot more time than inventing them…
They weren’t jogging in a neighborhood; they were casing the neighborhood. They weren’t using a public restroom; they were looking for people to sexually assault. They weren’t trying on clothes to see if they fit; they were looking to assault women and children in the changing rooms. They weren’t volunteering for the local women’s shelter; They were looking for defenseless victims. They weren’t writing a book for other trans people; They were indoctrinating kids and trying to turn them trans. Et cetera, et cetera…
Once conservative voters have started to accept that messaging, you move onto step 2:
“This bill will protect children from sexual predators” means it bans trans people from being able to pee.
“This bill will protect children from being exposed to dangerous sexual material” means it bans any kind of trans iconography by labeling it as porn.
“This bill will stop sexual predators from hiding in your neighborhood” means it requires trans people to register in a public database/wear a {pink triangle} badge.
“This bill will ensure sexual predators are kept away from the rest of the population” means it rounds trans people up into camps.
And if anybody ever tries to point out what the bill is really doing, put them on blast with the “radical left is trying to let sexual predators steal your kids and assault your women” messaging.

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.

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.
Cancel culture at its finest. Where my free speech absolutists gone?!
They were just bigots?
🔫 Always have been
I sure am glad we dodged that bullet by not electing Kamala! Could you imagine the hell we’d be living gin right now?

Does everyone remember that bit from Scrubs about removing all porn from the internet?
We’re about to find out if it’s true.

”I'm fairly sure if they took porn off the internet, there'd only be one website left, and it'd be called ’Bring back the porn!’ ” - Dr Cox
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?
Anything they disapprove of.
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.

As is always the case with fascists, the laws will apply to the people they don't like and be ignored for the people they do like. So long as Victoria's Secret's CEO continues paying the bribes, it's not porn.
Christians in the late Roman empire went about destroying a lot of old statues and breaking off the genitalia on them. The Roman's weren't shy about giving nude male statues manly bits down there.
It didn't end with them either. During the Victorian era many European archeologists had no issue breaking the junk off artifacts they found.

“Obscenity isn’t protected by the First Amendment, but hazy and unenforceable legal definitions have allowed extreme pornography to saturate American society and reach countless children,” Lee said in a press release. “Our bill updates the legal definition of obscenity for the internet age so this content can be taken down and its peddlers prosecuted.”
My memory is a bit hazy, but I think this phrasing is taken almost verbatim from Project 2025.

Everyone except for the trump family of pornographers.
USA has the biggest porn industry in the world, doesn’t it?
100%. Porn is what pushed the development of e-commerce and credit card payments online.
What they WILL get is eID laws as a result, and the total lack of privacy online.

Okay so previously I would’ve thought this is performative with no chance of it passing. However states have already passed laws that require proving ID to sites like pornhub before you can access and I am SHOCKED that they did it.
People in these areas are either using VPN, verifying an account with pornhub, or just not using pornhub. All 3 of which would be absolutely surprises to me but it’s gotta be one of them, right?

Thank god, I can still jerk it to women's feet.
To those weebs, who voted Trump, because "the transes" were mean to you for the loli hentai: this is on you!
Someone start a religion where porn is the sacrament. Handed down by God himself and shit. Maybe on golden plates.

This is something I think we can finally agree upon across political divides as a terrible fascist go fuck yourself idea.
