Pendulum Swing Watch 2025

It isn't just here, this is what political discussion is in America in 2025 AD. Just yelling talking-points at each other.
Love your commitment to serious discussion, but go outside dude. You're just being fucked with by at least 3 different AT retards and the king HHH. This isn't representative of actual political discourse.

Have you tried to have a serious discussion outside? I'd say they're worse than this. They either don't have an opinion, they agree so it can be over, or it's this. I had a polisci prof that was a 65 year old boomer. Probably the only good irl political discussion I've had.

I do agree that the internet has made pornography worse in a sense, nevertheless erotica has always existed and I wish we could come to golden mean between 24/7 hardcore porn and allowing sensual media.
That is exactly what the Roth standard is. Twin Peaks fire walk with me is my favorite movie. There's a lot of nudity and implied violent rape. But it touches on a real thing that happened to a lot of small towns in the 90s. A dark and twisted upper class who did all kinds of illegal and immoral shit. Therefore it is a work of art, not the same thing as porn.

The internet makes it far more available. They can't make it any cheaper, so people who are over consuming will want something more degenerate. We've watched the trend since the 90s. Most people in the 90s would wait 45 minutes to see a 3 pixel nipple. Now people sit around for hours jerking off to the worst imaginable shit.

Yes nigga and what's more shocking is that there is a place where 65 year old boomer professors congregate, it's called academia. If you want to sperg like that, buy yourself a ticket to a conference or forum where there are dedicated containment zones for people like you. However, I am pretty sure that you won't since you genuinely seem to enjoy a shitty discussion like this.

I want to change hearts and minds. I think this website is the best in the world. I don't want to sperg with old boomers until my country collapses. I do enjoy argument, no matter how debased or based.
 
The people sperging out for or against porn in this thread got me thinking about shit again. Never been a porn guy, not sure if it's due to desensitization from seeing shock images of naked people way back when or what but it's never really been appealing to me. Despite this, The last few years I've noticed the definition of porn is now played fast and loose with to the point that starting a few years ago you had shit like payment processors like patreon fucking people over because of shit that literally had no sane logic or reason to be called NSFW or porn in any capacity. That draconian shit would probably increase if legislation supported and backed it.

2000s-early 2010s era was a time full of memes that tied back to porn in some manner without actually being porn. I do not consider the pornos those memes came from as being the same kind of thing as the current year eternal's stream of disgusting shit. Billy Herrington is not the same thing as the constant social media unspoilered stream of deviantart nightmare tier tranny furry shit spammed on every major social media site the last 8 or 9 years.
Yes I know he is an exceptionally rare example of a "guy who was a porn guy that was generally liked and respected by millions for non porn reasons despite the out of context porn clips he was in being how he got popular", but it still stands as a point to be made in terms of comparisons of how not all "porn" is the same.
Hey retard, I think you're on the wrong site. leatherclub.com is 2 tubes down.

HHH sucking the Big Pharma cock again. Sellin' out just like his namesake.
Aww, poor little guy still believes that listening to Tucker Carlson makes him know more about medicine than medical professionals :story:

I was being a bit flippant as I forgot that everyone pretends to be autistic here and you need to be literal or some spastic, like you’re doing, will take it in bad faith.

DEI did not start the fires. Retarded environmental policies did help it spread.

DEI has hindered the response. From spastics being in key positions who don’t what they’re doing leading to neglected infrastructure, not enough responders, etc.

Now, if you excuse me I need to watch some porn to spite the god bothers in this thread.
Have you seen what wildfires look like in 90 mph winds? There's not a god damn thing that can be done to stop them. DEI or not. You could have the world's best fire response in the world and it wouldn't be able to stop it. You gotta stop blindly believing everything you read posted on Twitter dude.

In the US, it wasn't until Miller vs California in 1973 that porn went from illegal to a free speech issue. Pornography being equal to free speech is extremely recent.


I don't want to ban porn, I just hate when illiterate libertarians like you pretend pornography was what the Enlightenment was about. Porn is not art, it is not political speech, it should not fall under the same protections as cultural and political discourse.
I am not a libertarian, lol. Libertarians are retarded. I am just against bible thumping retards trying to push a porn ban and then those same retards whining about "free speech". Porn is indeed art. If they ban porn, they're coming for this site next. I can't believe retards like you can't see that it's a slippery slope and as soon as you allow them to ban porn, they're coming for speech that talks bad about the government or billionaires.
 
I will stand on that line with you. But I don't believe unlimited hardcore anal sex is the same as a critique of politics. Neither did any Founding Father nor any Enlightment thinker seeing as porn only became legal in the 1960's and 1970's.
What our founding fathers thought is irrelevant. It's 2025, not 1776. They didn't have the internet. They didn't have cars. Etc...

There's absolutely zero way porn could be banned. Everyone these days has a phone and people are gonna film stuff like that. As much as it makes bible thumping incels rage, people are gonna have sex

By what standard should speech be free? Should CSAM be legal? I don't think so because it causes harm. Porn also causes harm, not as much as CSAM to be clear.

There is zero way 100% of porn can be banned. but 80%, 70%? That's totally possible.
We've explained it isn't couples producing it that is the problem. The problem is internet hosting. If they can't host it easily, consumption and production will go down. The main problem is that they aren't having sex. I think a contributing reason for that is internet porn.

Some notes, the NGFS was established in 2017 and the feds joined in 2020. I've been seeing this get pushed as another result of Trump winning.

Lol that you go right to CSAM when talking about banning porn. There's a lot of shit that does harm to society. Alcohol does harm to society. Smoking does harm to society. Sitting on your computer in your fellow incel bible thumping hug boxes that radicalize you harms society. Do you want to ban this site? It's pretty harmful to society.

Look, I get it, you are angry that women find you repulsive so you are angry that others are having sex and you arent. This has resulted in you wanting to push your retarded religion on the rest of us so others won't be having sex. However, the rest of us don't want it.

You didn't answer the question. In your view, what makes something ok to ban? We currently have banned speech in this country. Do you agree that's a good thing?
