Michigan GOP Lawmakers Propose Total Ban on Porn AVN

external-link
Lawmakers in the state of Michigan introduced legislation last week that would adopt a total ban on pornography within the state. All of the proponents of the bill are anti-porn Republicans who liken legal porn to human trafficking and criminal conduct.

    They’re banning explicit manga AND erotica? Gooners, you gotta rise up and save the Michigan fujoshis and fudanshi!

    In all seriousness, the real reason is clear, conservatives love telling on themselves:

    Schriver’s bill also has a transphobic component. If adopted into law, the act includes prohibitions on material that “includes a disconnection between biology and gender by an individual of one biological sex imitating, depicting, or representing himself or herself to be of the other biological sex.”

    Someone in the Michigan legislature got caught being too into femboys or something similarly stupid, probably.

    From the bill:

    “Pornographic material” includes any content, digital, streamed, or otherwise distributed on the internet, the primary purpose of which is to sexually arouse or gratify, including videos, erotica, magazines, stories, manga, material generated by artificial intelligence, live feeds, or sound clips.

    Soooo they want stronger plot lines in their porn? Is that what I’m hearing? Something that they can sit down and watch with the family?

      You seem to be mistaken, sir: the primary purpose of this content is to promote dialogue on the meaning of interpersonal relations and the growth of human experience.

      Maybe you just don’t have a good grasp on art studies.

        which will also have the opposite of their intended effect and create more crime via black markets, trafficking etc.

          No, that is the intended effect. Their enemies will become criminals, which means they can arrest them and use them to justify further state power.

          You mean “stated effect”, which you should know by now is almost always a lie, like when a politician’s lips move.

          They don’t care about crime at all, it’s just a dogwhistle for black and brown people. If anything, this is a benefit because it means they can inflict harm on more people they don’t like during the “crackdown”.

      What’s “funny” is that you think they give a shit about consistency.

        Don’t worry, I don’t actually think that at all. I’m one of the people who expects to be thrown in a ‘camp’ within the next couple years. I’m one of the people who’s been saying this kind of shit was coming for most of my life.

      All of project 2025 is the fascist declaration of war. When the heritage foundation architect said “the revolution will be bloodless, if the left allow it” he meant they will murder everyone who opposes their Christian fascist dictatorship. Everything left of fascism is “the left”.
