    they want to make me a

    hard

    target?

    panting

    Also strange how as a trans person my existence is only pornographic to them. Wonder where they got that association from? Sounds like some kind of sexual pathology.

    The fact it’s wrapped in progressive language is a lovecraftian terror. Postmodernism and it’s consequences are a man-made horror beyond human comprehension

        This is all just a repeat of the anti-Muslim mania post 2001. Of course, it was always there, but went into overdrive after 2001.

        “Islam is an ideology and not a religion” was a popular one, we were also going to bomb the Middle East in order to save the women!

      It really is. Even on here you hear people use their talking points of how porn is addictive in nature. Mormons believe its so bad they declared it a public health crisis. I bet if you polled most Americans they would choose to restrict access to porn in some way.

    It is not a political Gordian knot

    The point of the Gordian knot is that it could be cut through and thereby abolish the complexity that it previously entailed. Saying it is not a Gordian knot makes them trip over their own feet here. Reading comprehension is for wokes though. galaxy-brain

    They’re barbaric enough and preoccupied enough at this point that they’d make that a feature of a future consititutional convention with its own special paragraph for “TRANS BAD” while the authors of that new version would simultaneously be jacking it to trans-objectifying fantasy porn on 4chan while writing it. frothingfash

      I once literally had to watch porn in high school. This was in Norway, maybe 2018 or 2019. Some weirdo (not a member of school staff) was giving a presentation in the auditorium and basically everyone in my year had to be there. This guy was going on and on about proper psycho-sexual development and the evils of hardcore pornography and how facials were an inherently misogynistic expression of masculine dominance/ownership of women or something like that, and he, like, actually put up a picture of assfucking from some porno on the big ol’ projector screen.

      …I’m honestly not gonna say it was traumatic or necessarily bad, but it was weird as fuck and I still think about what the hell that guy’s deal was and why he got to make this weird-ass presentation at my high school. This isn’t even a joke this actually happened and I’m still perplexed by it.
