It's so weird that on a site like this you have 'think of the children' types that are more stuck up about sex stuff than the worst of 80s evangelicals and tipper gore types combined.

Most people here from what I've seen are against porn, but also it's easier to deal with porn on your own and prevent your kids from accessing it than giving the government more power that they don't need.

no actually it's really hard to do that

I'm way more worried about drugs than sex for the most part, but whatever. I just find the slippery slope of having too much tracking to be worse than any benefits.

I know it's not something free people should have to deal with

Ironic when at the bottom of the website is this quote

Live free or die.

"yeah a portion of society got hooked on free, accessible internet porn and as a result we got to the point of legalizing castrating children to appease porn addicts but
HOW DOES THIS AFFECT YOU PERSONALLY, FASCIST???"

the lolbertarian strategy of shitting your pants and doing nothing while nogs shove women into oncoming subway trains and drug addicts destroy neighborhoods continues to be quite attractive to retards.

Lastly, as @The Ugly One notes, if I had a dime for every person who sperged about porn as their free speech canary in the coal mine only to get a redstrike through, I could gift T&H to quite a few users. I'm not accusing anyone here of that, but there is a pattern and it goes back to my earlier point about how people seem to bitch about American free speech when it comes to restricting porn access but never anything else. I don't think porn is the free speech canary in the coal mine, period. I think it's more disturbing when a publicly-traded company like Reddit actively bans people for milquetoast conservative opinions.

This man is unfortunately correct. It's not even about the red strikethroughs, it's that there are a lot of users on various websites who only start making passionate arguments about free speech and slippery slopes when the banning of pornography, particularly lolicon, comes up.

Are the arguments they use somewhat technically plausible? Maybe to some. The problem is that on a basic social instinct level it looks really bad when there is a noticeable pattern of behavior with a specific conversational trigger. These types destroy the credibility of their own side if this is detected, and then also the credibility of people who make the same argument with purer motives.

It's simply the reality of it. People who make the kinds of arguments this poster is referencing just do not have a media apparatus suppressing every negative thing they do like the LGBTQ+. They make themselves and others look bad.

Oh cool, you're such a dishonest faggot you had to literally invent something no one said so you can join the argument because you can't refute the things people are actually saying in this thread. How cute.

proving me correct is a bold strategy, let's see how it pans out.

Yeah hide behind your non-sequiturs and made up quotes because the second you address the actual issue you would look like a clown.

 

[Danann]

Kinda funny you conservatives drop your "end federal government overreach" when it comes to something you don't want your kids to have access to, and are completely unaware that you're just becoming more like democrats when you say that...

You're just trying to pick fights, aren't ya?

I'm sorry you've chosen the side of trannies and drag queens who also advocate for the dissemination pornographic materials to minors.
Bizarre choice but addicts rarely choose after a certain point.

A faggot in a robe might interrupt the law incorrectly in terms of hate speech so we can't allow anyone to apply the law correctly in terms of obscenity.

You lolbertarians are fucking retards.

my argument is porn isn't speech and not protected by the first amendment, has no right to exist in general and we should go after these sites with the existing, constitutional and established laws. this bill you're wincing about is unneeded to accomplish this.

you don't want I.D requirements for fear of government overreach (even though this law already is in 16 states and you need to show I.D for multiple other Vices online like buying alcohol in all 50), fine. but don't act like porn is the bedrock of free speech, is what the founders (a bunch of religious protestants who were descendants of puritans) had in mind when writing the first amendment and is the only thing keep us from a communist dictatorship, it's fucking retarded and ahistorical.

We would be justified morally, constitutionally and legally prosecuting every porn site under existing obscenity laws and I'm tired of listening to mouth breathing libertarians acting like it would be a betrayal of the very concept of America itself to enforce laws that have been on the books for 220+ years and we only stopped enforcing in the 60s-70s.

This whole regulating obscenity thing is growing on me. Maybe we can collaborate with Liz Fong Jones to get some corporate money behind it. We can call it #EndKiwiFarms.
