From the bill:

"Pornographic material" includes any content, digital, streamed, or otherwise distributed on the internet, the primary purpose of which is to sexually arouse or gratify, including videos, erotica, magazines, stories, manga, material generated by artificial intelligence, live feeds, or sound clips.

Soooo they want stronger plot lines in their porn? Is that what I'm hearing? Something that they can sit down and watch with the family?

I thought that's what softcore porn is for.

I never understood softcore porn. They go to all the trouble of setting up emotional amd sexual tension just to waste it on a hammy holywood makeout scene where all you see is boobs and bush.

🤷 I could say the same about a variety of kinks. It's someone's jam even if it's not mine.

Am I missing something or can you just get around this by not having it on the Internet? Like you could just start shuffling a bunch of flash drives around.

It says that the content can't be digital, you'd have to use video tapes or other analog medium.

Somebody trying to increase the value of their extensive VHS collection? 🤔

They just want to bring back porno mags because the old gezers keep getting viruses trying to find it on line.

In case it wasn't clear to everyone, the end goal here is not banning porn, but to classify being gay, trans, etc, as sexually arousing and ban any speech by anyone in those groups, followed by banning those groups.

You seem to be mistaken, sir: the primary purpose of this content is to promote dialogue on the meaning of interpersonal relations and the growth of human experience.

Maybe you just don't have a good grasp on art studies.

I get aroused by the weight loss drugs, diabetes medication, tires, car, hear care product, online shopping, restaurant, grocery store and fastfood commercials! Can we get rid of those?

I'm guessing they'll completely shutdown HBO in the state then. Peacemaker alone would be enough.
