I’m a woman in Texas and if this has anything positive to come out of it, I hope a lot of the men here who don’t care about women’s reproductive rights will finally wake up to the Christian Nationalism really taking hold here, realize it may impact them, and help to do something about it.
I'm with you, but I can't imagine any other outcome than an increasingly large group of sexually-frustrated men taking this out on women / men / animals around them. Particularly as other porn sites follow suit.
What's worse, I imagine this is either by design or a very welcome byproduct. In other words, one step closer to y'all qaeda.
The end goal is more babies. Unwanted, uneducated and poor babies. They'll get there by any means possible.
I can. VPN subscriptions up 60%, no measurable change in society.
Porn reduces the incident of rape. Combine that with the inability to access abortion. This is going to get worse. If vulnerable people have the ability to leave, they should.
Sooooo all according to plan then right?
Yes, more naive teens with low social economic status they can coerce into fighting their wars
Unfortunately, vulnerable people tend not to have the ability to leave.
This all sucks, but to be realistic it's probably not going to change anything for anybody. Pornhub is not the only porn site, there are more options than any human being could ever make use of out there, and plenty of sites will not recognize the laws of TX.
What realistically will happen is the porn consumers will go "oh no Pornhub is down, I'll have to go to another site" and within 5 minutes they'll be masturbating with porn from an unblocked site. For all we know, they might even visit lemmynsfw communities, which all do not give a fuck about these laws.
You underestimate the lengths people will go, in order to watch that perfect/favorite video that is now blocked. It's why the porn industry makes so much money in the first place
My guess is rape rate will increase instead

You keep commenting this, and yet your source doesn't provide any evidence other than quotes...
I'm out at work but i believe its this

Something something strange bedfellows.
