    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.

            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.

                A hadith is not the Bible. That’s the Quran you’re looking for. The entire point of hadiths is that they are not agreed on by all Muslims. Especially across lines of sects, ethnicity, and regions. The one you’ve chosen is only adhered to in Wahhabism. Otherwise known as the doomsday cult that spawned Al Qaeda.

                Of course it’s somewhere in history, that does not mean it’s a current practice as you depicted. If we held entire religions to the history of a sect then buckle up because Christianity and Judaism have some barnstormers that are coming back. But of course you’re willing to look past that. You understand Christianity isn’t represented by the dicks holding signs at funerals. And yet you hold all of Islam hostage to it’s worst people.

                  I know that hadith hold less weight than the Quran. That being said, there are several ahadith that say that painters will get screwed over by Allah that are considered canon by pretty much all Sunni Muslims. Many of them don’t follow these rules, but I personally know several Muslims that drink. This does not change the fact that the actual written rules of the religion prohibit it.

                  You’re also completely missing my original point. The guy I was originally replying to was joking that following Christian fundie logic will lead to a ban on images. I then drew parallels between the Christian and Muslim extremists who are both trying to institute their respective religious laws as the laws of countries, hate each other furiously, consider themselves the exact opposites of each other, and yet seem to converge on a number of issues.

                  P.S. I am pretty sure that Shi’ites have no equivalent rule regarding aniconism. I know very little about Shia Islam in general so I won’t comment on it.

      Its much like turning their seasonal “cheap labor” into “illegals”, once you make it so they cannot report you, then these monsters feel emboldened to exploit them. It also probably doesn’t make much difference to a lot of these monsters as they are interested in girls (not women) to young to legally do porn to begin with.

      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”.

      Get ready

      Get out the vote. Trump, despite his polling, is deeply unpopular with the average American. The problem isn’t the people voting for Trump, its the people who aren’t voting in general. In 2020, 40 million registered Dems did not vote. Round up every friend and family member, get them registered, get them voting. Go as a group on election, bring snacks and drinks for everyone. Offer a ride or share a cab.

      Trump is extremely beatable. They know this, and it’s why they’re panicking right now. Project 2025 isn’t just beatable, it’s an albatross; that’s why the GOP are pretending they had nothing to do with it, but that leaves them unable to actually articulate any policy positions because it is their policy position.

      Why be preparing for failure when you could be planning to win?

    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.

      Oh they never had a problem with religious law, just which religion. It was always called Sharia law when that was the big scare.

      I guess you weren’t able to find a reason to spin this story into a way for you to tell people to not vote for Biden so you don’t think it belongs here.

        if you find no correlation between the religious leaders we have like Catholic Biden and the boots we are stomped under that is on you

        when enough people have their lives upended by something they do not even believe in maybe the country will change but until then progress is strangled by religion

        only pointing out the boring dystopia of living in a Christian ruled country

            go further with a both sides take

            both Vance and Biden are flaming Catholics and both heavily defend Catholic Christian values

            every sperm is sacred

              The important thing is that you’ve found another way to help bring about a dictatorship and a genocide of queer people.

              (Yes, I know, it’s Biden’s fault that you’re doing everything you can to ensure that.)
