Get ready, if the Project 2025 freaks get their way this kind of shit will happen nationwide as a full ban on pornography across the board. It's just another way the party that claims they "stand for freedom" will turn this country into a puritanical dictatorship one small step at a time

First they came for the kinky porn, but I didn't speak out, because I didn't like kinky porn.
Then they came for hentai, and I didn't speak out, because I don't like hentai.
Then they came for the vanilla porn, but I didn't speak out, because I don't like normal porn.
Then, all that was left was yiff. And the furry porn stayed because AI cannot recognize furry porn, and it appears even on Google and Bing Safe Search.
And hundreds of millions of people started looking at the only porn left.
The Christian Church.....no! One must not teach our kids to d d d d....raw! And burn all books with pictures or photos. Because gad fore-bid they might be porn... Catho-licks.....yeah burn all the evid....books! One of them might contain a photo of a priest and a kid...we mean porn....
What's extra funny is that Islam bans drawing living things.
No, it doesn't Extreme Sunni sects ban the drawing of living things. For a Christian analogue that's like saying all Christians abhor any medical procedure that requires transferring blood, cannot drink alcohol, serve in the military, socialize with non Christians, or smoke tobacco.
Which I'm sure you know is patently ridiculous but there's 8 million self identified Christians who follow those rules. Surely they represent all of Christianity as much as Wahhabis represent all of Islam?
If the Bible itself prohibited such things, then yes, I would be making this point and also making fun of the Christians for not following it, like how they're not supposed to wear mixed fabric or have female teachers.
A ban on depicting living things is documented in a fairly well-supported ahadith. While strict adherence is rare in modernity, it is indeed something present in religious texts and widely practiced historically, which merits mockery.

Does this mean can draw the prophet Mohammed since he is dead? Finally a loophole.
All we are going to have left is Al generated porn. Home grown ai porn.
What's even worse is they're doing it to ban anything they label porn, aka anything they label "obscene". Those penalties they list are to imprison their ideological enemies: anyone not straight or "Christian".
Putting this out there.
If you are educated, in demand or have the financial means to do so GET OUT. Globalization means most jobs can be worked anywhere and those that can't are often in demand.
My uni is struggling with student numbers and I still don't understand why we aren't advertising to every single American high-school. One mass shooting in living memory, mostly understanding culture in regards to LGBT, low religious control, low corruption and great views 15 minutes away.
Isn't New Zealand actually the hardest country to immigrate to?
If you have no skills its an absolute bitch. Unless you're coming over as a seasonal worker in which they will take nearly anyone.
If you have them, money or a student its much easier.
I'm guessing seasonal workers aren't welcome to stay though... leaving money or academics. I will say Americans are slowly realizing it's cheaper to send their kids abroad for college. Germany told parents they had to put up a 10,000 dollar bond to support their kid in Germany and parents were like, "Yup, that's a quarter the cost of the tuition alone in the US."

Next up, social credit. Welcome to Republikkkan Amerika.
I am thinking the next thing they go after is the 2A. Might sound crazy, but I can see the SCOTUS deciding to enforce the “Well Regulated” part.
Except it will only be registered republicans who can be considered part of the “well regulated”, and they will add some measures in there that if someone is registered to a party affiliation they automatically vote straight ticket and cannot change it.

I remember when there was all kinds of brouhaha about how america would never ever turn into another islamic state or taliban. Seems that has been decidedly forgotten
No this was always intended. It's the same exact people that screamed about Barack Hussein Obama bringing Sharia law. They were always worried that he was going to introduce Islamic religious law before they could introduce Christian religious law. It was never hidden, the statements were literally along the lines of, "This is a Christian country, Sharia law is not right for us."
they hate us because of our freedoms!
remove freedoms = get less hate.
taps on head
Eventually you'd think the right would run out of toes to shoot off.
nice work gizmodo. i see what you did there
Yes, “It’s us or the porn”, yes this will certainly go well for the republicans, no notes
Just wait until Grindr pulls out of red states. GOP already helped destroy Craigslist, so now the only place they can meet the cute boys will be at GOP conventions and family reunions.
What did they do to Craig Slist?
Banned all the sexy sections on it, for dating, hookups, pros, etc
Don't worry, Congress already created a full mirror of the site beforehand so they can still watch it
There is a reason VPN providers are doing so well these days
Just the gay half though
You're damn right pornhub pulled out.
They'll be fine. They mostly go to Cornhub anyway.
You know who else bans porn? The Taliban, Saudi Arabia and other religiously lead hell holes. GOP is our version of religious extremists. These people are deranged.
Pull out game strong.❤️
