        Like American Marijuana laws, the cops didnt really care about people smoking weed, it was a convient way to put black people in jail.

      They want something to feel special about. Conservatives love getting away with stuff that is “wrong” and since society has normalized a lot of previously “wrong” behaviors these people no longer have anything to feel special about. Subjugating others is how they get off.

    The lawmakers pushing this should have their browsing history and message logs examined by a team of data recovery experts.

    I can assure you, they are into some weird shit but they spout these bullshit platitudes about turning others away from sin. It’s almost certainly because they are embarrassed or insecure about their own desires.

    This is either something that will only ever be selectively enforced, or designed to be so outrageous they can walk it back to what they actually want and look like they’re compromising.

    would prohibit consuming or producing sexual content that “lacks serious literary, artistic, educational, political, or scientific purposes or value” in any medium.

    MOST porn is art because it has a camera as a medium, and it is viewed as “Entertainment”, this bill will have no teeth on arrival.

    My main problem is that this kind of logic is next door neighbors with, “That woman was dressed in a pornographic way! She should be dressed from head to toe in black!”

    Edit: correction

      “That woman was dressed in a pornographic way! She should be dressed from head to toe in black!”

      There’s no production there. Though… if we were to accept that it counts for “production” then technically… if you the “viewer” of that person view it in a sexual way, you’d be able to be held by the law as well.

    I imagine there are still brick and mortar stores in Oklahoma that sell porn and sex merchandise. This would ruin their business. What a bunch of idiots. This will never survive a challenge in court.

    So they basically just want to abolish free speech? This is the first step in that process. Once they get one law passed about something like porn it makes it super easy to amend that law at any time to include anything the state deems to be “dangerous”.

    Can someone help parse the bill? I read it and it looked like it was related to CP. I know that they like to bury and conflate things but I was having trouble parsing out what the headline implies.

    Edit: don’t know what’s with the downvotes. I’m serious. I have a friend solely pointing that out and I’d like to provide information to show it’s more than that. I tried to read the bill but it keeps just referencing CP.

    any “acts of sexual intercourse,” including those that are “normal or perverted, actual or simulated.”

    So there goes the majority of mainstream movies too, I guess 🤦
