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.

The American porn industry is as big as Hollywood. This is a big billions of dollars market. And the US porn industry provides 90% of international porn. So Trump and his GOP wants to kill the one last American industry where the US is world market leader by far.

And I can easily see this industry moving to countries where actors are cheaper and less protected from abuse, diseases, and whatever else happening in this industry.

While this will make some religious fundamentalists in the US feel superior and give them a sense of a perceived moral high ground, it will actually hurt the most vulnerable people in the chain the most. It will not reduce the amount of porn made, it will just make it much, much worse for those involved.

Probably Europe, eastern Europe is already pretty populair for that market and otherwise countries like The Netherlands where sex is well normal and we don't treat it otherwise.

Problem is onlyfans putting more money in the wallets of the performers and not into the political-industral complex.

Well yeah, they're fuckin' morons. The same thing almost happened to Canada, had Poilievre ended up winning.

i live in such an atheist bubble. i'm constantly shaking my head at the fact that we haven't woken up to how many problems religion creates. every day that we don't do a massive purge and/or reeducation camp imprisonment of all theists allows this ridiculous charade to keep going.

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 5 points 23 hours ago

I watch atheist content creators on youtube do take downs of theistic arguments.

I have been out of religion for so long that I can't fathom those theists not realizing their idiocy.

And those theists always come with such strawmen "You believe we come from a rock" (no, that's not what atheism entails, but you do believe we come from dirt, so that's actually what you believe), "why do you hate god?" (how can I hate something I don't believe exists?) "You should read the bible" (I did, cover to cover, it made me atheist, you should do it too for a change)

Brought to you by a president who f****d a pornstar and paid her off by falsifying business records.

Clown world for a clown species.

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?

If this happened in europe, we would all collectively wank off infront of the government buildings or some shit

Under the bill, content would be considered obscene if it appeals to prurient interests in nudity

And since they've already taken away due process, they're basically paving the way to send anyone who has a body they don't like to a death camp. I don't think it's hyperbole anymore to say that that US is fucked.

[–] Akuchimoya@startrek.website 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is basically how we ended up with the burqa. A woman's body is evil because it makes men unable to control their sexual urges, therefore women must be banned. Now, in Afghanistan, a woman's voice must not even be heard.

How long until the USA reaches that point?

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 235 points 1 day ago (17 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.

Owning the libs just took on a whole notha meaning, aye? What a treat. /s

[–] peteyestee@feddit.org 4 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

Maybe that's the whole point. That and then letting Hollywood make profit off of sex scenes.

It's all business disguised as well to do ideology.

It is never for the people. If it was for the people we would be building proper community, respect, and teaching the reality of the human experience so that people can be the best they can be.

Conservatives keep saying they're for the common people.

Are they? Are they really? Seems to me they're really busy doing stuff that regular folks hate.

My state is on the verge of passing two anti-trans bills but we love watching femboys fuck. This is a nation founded on hypocrisy and that's never changed.

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

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.

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.

Even the most oppressive tyrants in history understood the concept of bread and circuses. Most people will stay complacent when their fundamental rights are being taken away as long as they have their distractions. Taking away the distractions is something you only do after you've fully consolidated your power. They're so obsessed with projecting an aura of oppressiveness that they've forgotten how to hold power.
