Everyone involved in pushing this law should be barred from working in government, and fined for wasting our time.

[–] Ozymati@lemmy.nz 10 points 7 months ago

Just let them pass it then search their browser history. You know the only reason they're so concerned about it is they're ball's deep into it.

I'm in Wyoming. There's only ten of us here. The goth search was mine. The rest didn't bother with PornHub after I explained that "bear sex" wasn't going to give them the result they were expecting.

Idaho's "dildo ride" absolutely tracks. I have been wearing a Bad Dragon cap for weeks (it's an amazing hat) and it was a ~50 year old woman on the Idaho side of the mountain who recognized the logo.

EDIT: I am not joking. The caps are sick.

I wish I didn't live in my COMMUNIST blue state where I can freely watch porn, read books, receive healthcare, feed hungry kids, breath clean air, turn around in driveways without getting shot and an abortion if I or my 10 year old daughter gets RAPED! I would MUCH rather live in a Red State where it's only legal to shoot homeless people, go to church and breath fumes from the coal plant next door unless it gets too cold and I freeze to death!

The bill, set to be introduced next month by state Sen. Dusty Deevers (R-Elgin), would prohibit consuming or producing sexual content that “lacks serious literary, artistic, educational, political, or scientific purposes or value” in any medium.

Ok then, every piece of sexual content I produce or consume is in political protest of this specific bill. That should hold up in court. Bust one for Dusty!

So you get get around it with a whiteboard in the background that has a math equation on it. Kinda like you can get around the swimsuit ban on twitch if you have an inflatable pool with water in it in the background.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 16 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Maybe someone over there is watching porn for the story and is simply trying to ban porn without it. And I agree, I can't take it seriously if I don't understand my stepmoms motivation and background.

This is in response to all male Republicans feeling terribly inadequate after seeing Hunter Biden's hog (thank you MTG!). I'm sure they all think the only way to please a woman is to have a large unit. lol.

We really need a law where any politician who wants to vote to ban something has to first disclose their own relevant actions.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 10 points 7 months ago

Or maybe just enforce the Constitution.

I love watching our clueless citizens just allow this descent into fascism. Who knew it would be as simple as just not teaching kids what the word means.

There’s no way that dude is not railing twinks every weekend.

I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, but his doubtless moral hypocrisy is rustling like a loud chip bag in the movies.

[–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 7 months ago (1 children)

i dont understand how things like this can even be pushed to begin with.

It's like banning a word because it makes you think of things that are somewhat unpleasant.

United States in 2024:

Sexting outside of wedlock: Felony

The word moist: Right to jail.

Murdering homeless people on a whim: Encouraged.

he bill, set to be introduced next month by state Sen. Dusty Deevers (R-Elgin), would prohibit consuming or producing sexual content that “lacks serious literary, artistic, educational, political, or scientific purposes or value” in any medium.

Deevers, a Baptist pastor who was elected last year to represent a rural district that includes the tiny cities of Comanche (population under 1,400) and Elgin (about 3,700),

So some backwater representative is proposing something that will never go anywhere. I bet stupid bills like this are proposed weekly.

Of course, politicians will still watch porn and continue to cheat on their partners. Just you silly peasants won't be able to watch porn, because of Jesus or something!
