Law Pornhub blocked in your state?

[Yorick the Wiser]

I live in Cali.

Watching porn on a regular basis is required by State Law.

 

[Poon Goon]

people need food to survive, people need guns to defend themselves, if someone where to try to make the argument why they or someone else needs porn I would refer them to a psychiatrist

You don't need cheetos to survive and if guns are banned then you don't need a gun to defend yourself. Of course you know that banning guns and junk food was just a ridiculous suggestion to point out how ridiculous you wanting to ban porn is.

Just admit that you don't really care about personal freedoms as long as you agree with the things that will be banned.

 

[Yorick the Wiser]

That's some not so deep, deep shit right thurr.

slow clap

So you're anti censorship now? Interesting.

Were you born with some defect that prevents any nuanced thought to form? Why does everything need to be in absolutes? I'm pro censoring conspiracy theory nonsense like "ivermectin/hydroxychloroquine cures COVID" while against censoring because of a right wing bullshit grievances like censoring a story about 2 male penguins adopting a baby chick (a real event that occured)

You're pro-censorship when it suits you and anti-censorship when it doesn't.

You have no central philosophical or political compass. You just want what you want and hate people different from you enough to want to deny what they want out of spite.

I'm anti-censorship across the board.

What's happening in these states regarding porn isn't really censorship though, it's just requiring ID for porn the same way they do for alcohol, cigarettes and gambling (something I'm also against).

To think that the world operates in absolutes is to think like a child.

I agree with banning things that have no possible upside to them and only have negative effects. If you want to fight for the freedom to destroy yourself that's fine.

What is the upside to a society that tolerates/encourages pornography ?

Ok bud.

 

[Darkballs]

jerk off to whatever you want, just don't created an industry of victimization in order to do so.

You're gonna need to do more than a youtube video to prove an "industry of victimization." Until then, I'll side with two consenting adults doing whatever the hell they want without prudes getting worked up about it.

How about what doesn't bother you, you leave alone? Or can you give us a tangible example of how porn existing has impacted YOUR life?

You also have to weigh this against your proposed solution, which is the government monitoring it's citizens porn watching. I'm gonna cite the 1st Amendment here and ask the State to fuck off and mind it's own business.

everything that is illegal was determined by the government welcome to human society

And any time someone wants to use this blanket statement to justify a nanny state, expect people to speak up against it.

that is only a conspiracy theory because of censorship

No, it's a conspiracy theory because it's bullshit.

What's the upside for vulgar music, violent video games, or Klan meetings? Sounds like they should all be banned. Again, please just admit you only care about freedoms that you approve of. Nothing wrong with that, just be honest.

Who's to say that they weren't all mentally defective people who would've offed themselves anyway?

How does that not make it worse to jerk off to videos of mentally defective people being sexually taken advantage of?

I'm not the jerk-off police. The government has no right to tell me what I can watch or not.

I think it's incredibly obvious that porn victimizes people, if 60 people dying as a result isn't proof enough for you then nothing will.

pornography has had a tremendously bad effect on society, it affects everyone whether you consume it or not. I also never advocated for this having to show ID online, my position is to get rid of it.

We live in far more of a nanny state now then when pornography was illegal and not such a huge part of society.

plenty of upsides for video games and vulgar music. That is art, stuff that actually helps people by giving them a way to express themselves or create something that gives meaning to other people. You are talking to a guy who plays in a band that sings about some pretty vulgar shit and it has been a very positive experience. Not sure why Klan meetings apply but if you want to attend one go right on ahead. I care about all freedoms, and I would exercise my freedom to oppose pornography because I care about the consequences.

You guys are so upset at the thought of your precious porn being taken away that you overreact like this, it's not a good look

Does that include child porn? I'm not aware of any public outrage over laws against that.

You do know that porn is protected by the first amendment for the same reasons right?

You don't care about all freedoms. It's obvious you care about the freedoms that you approve of. We've already discussed the consequences bullshit with junk food and guns.

I never even said I watch porn, much less that I would be upset if it were banned. Just pointing out that you are completely full of shit when it comes to personal freedoms and the government dictating how people live their lives. Move to China.

if watching/making porn gives your life meaning you are fucked. I don't think having the right to watch someone strung out on drugs get railed by half a football team is what the founding fathers had in mind when they constructed the first amendment.

Rights and freedoms are meant to protect the individual, they aren't there to victimize members of society for your sexual gratification.

Of course you can only resort to accusing me of being a porn addict because you have no actual argument. Hope the government is able to ban as many things as necessary for you to feel protected.
