Well shit, the Republicans brought a certain anti-online porn bill back to the table.

The Interstate Obscenity Definition Act.

This should alarm you guys.

Well, here we go. The GOP has just introduced a bill to effectively outlaw all pornography. The bill dismantles the Supreme Court's Miller Test for obscenity, removing provisions that the content be patently offensive to community standards. — Mike StabileALT
I don’t care if you hate porn. Please for the love of god don’t get stuck there cognitively. Anti-porn legislation + how trans and NB people (even cis drag queens/kings) are being consistently described as sexually deviant = the groundwork is being laid for all queer expression to be made illegal. — Claire ZagorskiALT
If all porn is made illegal, you can also make illegal the expression of any person you hate by defining them as obscene and pornographic. "Existing while visibly trans" will be argued to be pornographic. Women dressing insufficiently modestly will be argued to be pornographic. — TBSkyenALT
You either support porn creators and sex workers or you support fascism. Support of one is directly opposed to support of the other. It's really that simple. That goes for you libs with "NO PORN" in your fuckin bio. I see you dipshits. I know it's about loudly saying you don't want porn bots because yeah nobody does but block em and move on. We gotta get hornier if we're gonna beat this christofascist shit. And for fucks sake stop using the word "degenerate" to refer to kinks that don't do it for you. We all got our thing don't be an asshole. — Zane SchachtALT
Paying a NSFW artist to draw very specific art of that one character doing that one thing you really like is genuinely an act of praxis and I'm not kidding — Zane SchachtALT
if you see this and your response is "haha fuck yes, porn is disgusting and i hope this makes the gooners mad" you're a fascist regardless of how lefty or progressive you want to spin your porn hatred, you are a fascist. if fascists are legislating things you like, you are probably one of them — birdblitzALT
"anti-gooner" culture has never been the counter-cultural monument you thought it was and being a proponent of it has never made you more than a fundamentalist christian with a broccoli haircut also if for whatever reason you're on the other side thinking the Based MAGA Guys are going to protect your right to bust to anime girls or whatever, congratulations! the government you voted for wants to make your favourite artist a felon for making the shit you jack off to — birdblitzALT

This.

Look, always remember. Any sort of porn ban will be used to:

  • ban a variety of queer content (both trans and just other queer stuff)
  • ban certain health education content (especially on women’s health)
  • create a precedent to charge minorities for any sort of content that will be argued to be then “pornographic”
  • will also very certainly create precedent to go against platforms like tumblr and AO3 and whereever you consume your favorite fanwork
  • will definitely also charge any depiction of “female presenting nipples”

Even if you think all porn is bad (you are wrong by the way), this stuff is never just about porn. Heck, chances are they would use such a law to in some roundabout way also prevent simple sex ed!

Here’s a simple script for if you feel more comfortable emailing them.


Subject: Interstate Obscenity Definition Act

I am messaging to make a comment to Senator [THEIR NAME] about S.1671 aka the “Interstate Obscenity Definition Act”.

My name is [YOUR NAME], and I live at (YOUR ADDRESS AND CITY]. I’m messaging to urge Senator [THEIR NAME] to vote “NO” on S.1671, aka the “Interstate Obscenity Definition Act.” I care about this because:

-The wording is vague and do not do anything to effectively protect children

-The bill would infringe upon constitutional, legal expression made by consenting adults

-This bill would be used to censor speech and criminalize people under the guise of “obscenity”, especially by the current Trump Administration

-It would push people and communities underground, making them more vulnerable to abuse

- [Anything else you want to add]

Please vote “No” and protect our rights.

Thank you,

[YOUR NAME]
