It took them a while to figure out what side of history they wanted to be on.
in case you’re not well acquainted, p2025 doesn’t just aim to criminalize porn, but to redefine a lot of things AS porn. for example if you work at a library and are “disseminating offensive material” or whatever vague af language they used, then you’re now a criminal and will be a registered sex offender

if you think it can’t happen here, then take another look around. IT IS happening here. once they’re done eradicating “porn,” they’ll move on to “subversive,” “anti-american,” “anti-christian,” and “anti-whateverthefuckelse” materials they don’t want anyone else getting any ideas from
so fucking glad i don’t have kids
Redefine it and then …criminalize it, right? Otherwise how is a librarian a “sex offender”?
A librarian of all people!
I don’t trust them to just redefine it.
There goes popular subreddits like /r/MapPorn, /r/EarthPorn, /r/cableporn, and /r/goneweld.
At the same time they are OK with Hooters.
(Let alone they root for child labor, child marriage, domestic violence, corporal punishment, sexual harassment and rape of women by prominent figures, and covering up for tens of dozens of republican sex offenders against minors and women. But this is where they draw the line: “sex ed is PorNoGraPhy librarians should be LoCKkKeD uPp”.)
Didn’t PeeWee Herman get in trouble for disseminating in a theater? I heard that he got off easy.
Not the ally we expected, but the ally we need.
Historically, the porn industry has had tremendous influence on both media and politics. Thank Larry Flynt for your freedom of speech. We had VHS instead of BetaMax because porn decided to release on VHS. The same goes with DVD and I believe Blu-Ray but I’m not sure about that one.
Don’t underestimate the sway porn has.
Blu-Ray
The porn industry actually backed HD-DVD over Blu-Ray.
It was because VHS had longer runtimes at first (but worse quality) and so VHS got a head start in the market because people didn’t care about quality as much as runtime because tapes were expensive back then, and by the time Betamax caught up to the capabilities of VHS it was too late. It was also because of restricted licensing. Everybody and their dog were releasing VHS players of their own, while Sony had a death grip on their tech. In the stores, VHS was all you saw, with maybe one Betamax in the corner. VHS was the Android to Sony’s “iPhone”.
I’m not at all. Exactly as my comment said.
Here’s a list of states that have effectively banned adult films websites by requiring sites to verify a user’s age:
The states are:
- Alabama
- Arkansas
- Florida
- Georgia
- Idaho
- Indiana
- Kansas
- Louisiana
- Mississippi
- Montana
- Nebraska
- North Carolina
- Oklahoma
- Texas
- Utah
- Virginia
While the specifics vary between states, in general the new laws mean users are required to provide a pornographic website with a copy of their ID to obtain access or by sending it to a third party.
Project 2025 and “adult conent”
“Pornography, manifested today in the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology … is as addictive as any illicit drug and as psychologically destructive as any crime. Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned. Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered.”
What does this mean? Well it seems to mean that the far right want to define a book that features a same-sex couple as illegal pornography and throw the author of the book and any distributors of the book in prison. It seems to mean that a book talking about sexual violence could be classified as porn and banned. It seems to mean that talking about the existence of trans people would be “porn” and criminalized. In short: anything that goes against normative gender roles and hierarchies, or interrogates those hierarchies, could be considered obscene and criminalized.
These are the kinds of laws they have in theocracies. These were the kinds of laws they had in the Soviet Union. This is where they want to take us. And that is where we will go if we let them.
Things like this coming out so close to the election is really the happy ending I was hoping to see. I only hope these last thrusts of attention to Project 2025 really make a difference.
Agreed. This plan has some spunk. Hopefully coverage gets picked up by the BBC.
That would be cool. Also, sex words.
A stroke of genius…
Nice
Oh my, next thing I know I’ll see an ad that reads “Harris Supporters Get One Week Free Premium!”
Things are getting hot and wet this election cycle.
If you read the last line you’ll find out the story came from the New York Times. Ever hear of them?
