They want to ban pornography, then claim that same-sex couples showing affection to each other publicly is pornography.

And that trans people simply existing are pornography.
And give the death penalty to sex offenders, and classify pornography as a sex offense. See where this is going?
The death penalty is porn for conservatives.
What will they do then?
"It's alright when I do it" is a core pillar of conservative ideology, so it's fine.

If there's one positive to take from it, I think it's quite the compliment to be considered porn walking.
Licks fingers to nips Tssss!
Now if only it weren't from that greaay cohort...
To be fair, most of the book bans going on in Burgerland right now are justified exactly this way: they're "pornographic" because there's gay people.
And video rental?
Btw this is why they call everything a slippery slope. Because that's what they want to do.
There is still physical video rental outside of libraries? Even netflix shut down dvd-by-mail
And Redbox is going under.
Going? I thought they shut down operations last month?
Maybe they did? I thought I still saw a machine by the grocery store the other day.
I wouldn't be surprised if they just abandoned the kiosks.

Toe-ing a fine line between larceny and litter cleanup to get there first.
It’s a legitimate salvage.
Rent a white van, put on a coverall and nobody will even think twice about you taking it.
Actually you probably don’t need the coverall. Just some contractory looking clothes.
High vis vest makes you invisible.
This is exactly it. I see one every time I go to Walmart with a piece of paper over the screen/controls saying it is no longer in operation
This might bring it back! Playboy's next.
I look forward to porn winning the War on Porn like drugs won the War on Drugs.
There will be a lot of similarities, like how with drugs you never know what's laced with fentanyl. You'll never know what conditions your illegal porn is made in. After all, it's already illegal.

It's really amazing sometimes that so much legal and political policy is driven by men who are ashamed of their boners.
It's kind of sad
Thank you, Puritans.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. I just want to make sure I'm understanding this.
He just admitted that his goal is to quietly litigate porn into non-existence by passing age verification laws on one end, then flood the courts with frivolous lawsuits with all sorts of human rights allegations in order to bankrupt what's left. And from there, use the same strategy to effectively litigate anything else they don't like out of existence, while also not making it a campaign issue or even all that well known publicly because he knows that these positions are hugely unpopular and would cost elections, because fuck you that's why?
He does seem to jump on the Trump method of handling things. Either get what you want legitimately or litigate your opponent into bankruptcy until they don't have the resources to fight any more. But I'm sure he also heard the call to arms from Clarence Thomas saying that the Supreme Court has their back, so he probably figures if his ilk are going to seize power through the courts because they know they can't win elections, there's no better time to do it than now.
Don't forget, these are the same people who think trans people's mere existence is pornography.
That's because all of their porns are exclusively trans.
SCOTUS' Uncle Ruckus ain't gon' like that
God save Long Dong Silver🙏!
I swear, I think these chucklefucks honestly think that litigating porn out of existence has even the slightest chance of working at all.
Less reputable sites are typically foreign sites, out of the reach of US government, and can continue to just ignore US law enforcement. And even if the US does start investigating them, these sites can pick up and set up shop somewhere else literally overnight. Project 2025's ideas would have zero effect on them.
And regarding the larger sites like Pornhub? Do they think they're just gonna say "Aw, shucks. We cant show people titties any more." Fucking lol. They'll just set up shop overseas, block all US IP addresses, and just conveniently have advertisements for various VPNs on their home page.
Pornhub and the like will continue distributing all the porn. They will continue to make all the money distributing all the porn. Heck, they'll probably make even more all the money hosting advertisements for and partnering with VPN services. And people will continue to watch all the porn. Even if Project 2025 got their way, the great Overseas Porn Migration of 2025 will be merely a moment in time of porn's history. In fact, there will be porn of it.
Yep, they should look at Tumblr as an example. When they banned porn in 2018, they lost a third of their users, the automatic censorship tools were flagging all sorts of non-porn stuff and they reversed the ban four years later.
Wait what? Tumblr has porn again?
I could see a ton of ads like. xYZ VPN sponsored by (pornhubs parent company).
Seeing stuff like this makes me wish Sega was still in the hardware business.
“Who needs porn? Just call Jeffery and he’ll get you a girl to jerk you off with a glove on”
First they came for the communists...
Fucking puritan ass motherfuckers need to fuck off. This is no different than prohibition. It's stupid and they're stupid.
I don't think that will work.
Some of this felt like they think they can get away with it, but now I'm starting to notice that they didn't exactly account for reality anywhere.
But, I like porn.
