    They want to ban pornography, then claim that same-sex couples showing affection to each other publicly is pornography.

        And give the death penalty to sex offenders, and classify pornography as a sex offense. See where this is going?

          The death penalty is porn for conservatives.

          What will they do then?

            “It’s alright when I do it” is a core pillar of conservative ideology, so it’s fine.

        If there’s one positive to take from it, I think it’s quite the compliment to be considered porn walking.

      To be fair, most of the book bans going on in Burgerland right now are justified exactly this way: they’re “pornographic” because there’s gay people.

      There will be a lot of similarities, like how with drugs you never know what’s laced with fentanyl. You’ll never know what conditions your illegal porn is made in. After all, it’s already illegal.

      Yep, they should look at Tumblr as an example. When they banned porn in 2018, they lost a third of their users, the automatic censorship tools were flagging all sorts of non-porn stuff and they reversed the ban four years later.
