A bill set to be introduced next month would ban consuming or producing sexual content and punish offenders with prison sentences of up to 20 years and $25,000 fines.

Bet you, every single one of the cunts pushing for this would have to immediately be convicted under the very same laws.

[-] [email protected] 23 points 5 months ago

Itll only be enforced against people they dont like.

[-] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

If only it'd be enforced as such

[-] [email protected] 80 points 5 months ago

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".

[-] [email protected] 31 points 5 months ago

Of course. And you can bet your ass will be applied only very selectively.

[-] [email protected] 25 points 5 months ago

Yeah porn is the easy target since not many politicians in Oklahoma are going to oppose it. Since it could damage their political image. Nobody wants to be labeled the porno guy/gal in the right wing news.

You better be married to spez if you live in Oklahoma or you are going to jail

While we’re arbitrarily disregarding the constitution, i now declare all assault rifles illegal. Suck my dick, asscunts.

This guy has the look of someone with a rape dungeon

He looks like he has a diaper fetish

Dusty deavers? There's no way that is not his twink porn name.

[-] [email protected] 58 points 5 months ago

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 🤦

[-] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

Who gets to define what "normal" means?

I would propose expanding the second part to include oral and written delivery, not just digital. The only valid form of sexual dialogue is to be dance.

[-] [email protected] 39 points 5 months ago

Written? Guess we'll have to ban the Bible then

[-] [email protected] 19 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Yes, but they don't know that because they never actually read their "word of god" but get a raging erection when they hallucinate about a "good ol' time" that actually never existed in the first place.

And only 17th and 18th century dance forms.

[-] [email protected] 43 points 5 months ago

That's harsher fines than being an insurrectionist.

[-] [email protected] 36 points 5 months ago

What is with the steady criminalization and paranoia with all things sexual in the last 15 yrs or so? It feels like more than the usual paranoia.

[-] [email protected] 22 points 5 months ago

I believe it is how self-proclaimed christians are responding to sexual and gender liberty/tolerance. They see it as lost ground in their crusade against deviance. So they are escalating things beyond reason in order to sooth their own conscience.

That's how I see it. Closeted bigots being closeted bigots.

Also feels like Gen z is more prudish and so, even if they don't really agree with these movements, they also aren't as affected, so don't really care about it happening either.

And they know the rules will never apply to them anyway even if they get caught. Win win

They're losing the culture war, both at a societal level and a political one. So they're lashing out, ideally with what are the last gasps of their regressive ideology

[-] [email protected] 34 points 5 months ago

Next, having a vagina out of wedlock will be illegal.

[-] [email protected] 29 points 5 months ago

Did you just spell out the V word?? Fined and imprisoned, sinner!

[-] [email protected] 27 points 5 months ago

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.

John Oliver was doing something like that around a piece about data brokers:

It was wonderful.

The lawmakers proposing this... We should bring back tar and feathers.

[-] [email protected] 24 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

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

Wasn't this exactly what the Larry Flint case was about already? Sounds like political grand standing, so they can say they did something even if that something is completely moot anyway.

Guess they'll have to disconnect the Internet in Oklahoma then.

[-] [email protected] 22 points 5 months ago

In the wise words of Dr. Cox, if they removed all porn from the Internet there would be only one website left, saying bring back the porn.

Can anyone tell me which year it is in Oklahoma? It can't be anything starting with 20, 19, or even 18, that's for sure.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago

Well witch burning is next along with sponsoring a fleet of explorers to see what lies across the western ocean.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Oh fuck off.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

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.
