Lmao good luck idiots. Already tried it with alcohol, then with weed. How'd those work out? Porn isn't even tangible.

[–] Carmakazi@lemmy.world 75 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

It doesn't need to be absolute in success, it just needs to be applied arbitrarily to further abuse out-groups.

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 9 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

which will also have the opposite of their intended effect and create more crime via black markets, trafficking etc.

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 24 points 7 hours ago

No, that is the intended effect. Their enemies will become criminals, which means they can arrest them and use them to justify further state power.

[–] vividspecter@aussie.zone 9 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

They don't care about crime at all, it's just a dogwhistle for black and brown people. If anything, this is a benefit because it means they can inflict harm on more people they don't like during the "crackdown".

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 6 points 8 hours ago

If I'm not wrong that was the whole point of criminalizing weed.

...........well now I want to see the cursed one.

You asked for it.

collapsed inline media

Truthfully, I think it makes his head look more normal.

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

I wonder if either of them are actually the correct scene.

They're banning explicit manga AND erotica? Gooners, you gotta rise up and save the Michigan fujoshis and fudanshi!

In all seriousness, the real reason is clear, conservatives love telling on themselves:

Schriver's bill also has a transphobic component. If adopted into law, the act includes prohibitions on material that "includes a disconnection between biology and gender by an individual of one biological sex imitating, depicting, or representing himself or herself to be of the other biological sex."

~~Someone in the Michigan legislature got caught being too into femboys or something similarly stupid, probably.~~

Bugs bunny is so fuckin screwed

[–] EndOfLine@lemmy.world 37 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

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?

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 10 points 7 hours ago

I thought that's what softcore porn is for.

[–] undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] qwerty@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Electricblush@lemmy.world 9 points 4 hours ago

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

[–] db2@lemmy.world 22 points 8 hours ago

Well we know they won't ban grindr....

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 15 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Sounds like a declaration of war.

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 31 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

All of project 2025 is the fascist declaration of war. When the heritage foundation architect said "the revolution will be bloodless, if the left allow it" he meant they will murder everyone who opposes their Christian fascist dictatorship. Everything left of fascism is "the left".

[–] dontpanic@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

This won’t pass (not now anyway) but it’s funny they want to ban the bible. Or they’re too dumb to realize that implication.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 1 points 19 minutes ago

Will be excluded (again) for cultural relevance or some similiar bullshit excuse.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 12 points 8 hours ago

If they think the illegal drug trade is bad, let's think about the illegal sex trade!.....wait....

[–] Quazatron@lemmy.world 10 points 3 hours ago

As a relatively recent country (by European standards), USA did not go through the Middle Age. I guess this is it. Enjoy the public burnings of heretics.

[–] WaitThisIsntReddit@lemmy.world 8 points 7 hours ago

I'm going to jerk off to this attempt to ban porn.

[–] Hobbes_Dent@lemmy.world 3 points 7 hours ago

Hey Americans, this is the future you’re building.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

Yeah that ain't passing in Michigan.
