Michigan GOP Lawmakers Propose Total Ban on Porn AVN

Lawmakers in the state of Michigan introduced legislation last week that would adopt a total ban on pornography within the state. All of the proponents of the bill are anti-porn Republicans who liken legal porn to human trafficking and criminal conduct.

    Eight states have ID verification laws.

    Oklahoma has tried several times to make viewing porn a felony.

    Everyone laughing this off as impossible is not taking this seriously enough.

    If they removed porn from the internet, the next day there would only be one website called ‘BringBackAllthePorn.com’"

    The GOP really thinks there won’t be any more elections, don’t they?

      Yeah, if trumples is still around by the next election they will try for a 3rd term with all the fun times that will bring.

      But if he’s dead/has been trundled off to a gar gar home (he’s 99.5% of the way there anyway), then I think they’ll have a hard time of it.

      I see it more as a step towards banning a ton of content they don’t like by claiming they are porn, or porn-adjacent (for example any LGBTQ+ content)

    They’re banning explicit manga AND erotica? Gooners, you gotta rise up and save the Michigan fujoshis and fudanshi!

    In all seriousness, the real reason is clear, conservatives love telling on themselves:

    Schriver’s bill also has a transphobic component. If adopted into law, the act includes prohibitions on material that “includes a disconnection between biology and gender by an individual of one biological sex imitating, depicting, or representing himself or herself to be of the other biological sex.”

    Someone in the Michigan legislature got caught being too into femboys or something similarly stupid, probably.

              I wonder if either of them are actually the correct scene.

                Yes, the 4:3 image is the proper scene.

    From the bill:

    “Pornographic material” includes any content, digital, streamed, or otherwise distributed on the internet, the primary purpose of which is to sexually arouse or gratify, including videos, erotica, magazines, stories, manga, material generated by artificial intelligence, live feeds, or sound clips.

    Soooo they want stronger plot lines in their porn? Is that what I’m hearing? Something that they can sit down and watch with the family?

      You seem to be mistaken, sir: the primary purpose of this content is to promote dialogue on the meaning of interpersonal relations and the growth of human experience.

      Maybe you just don’t have a good grasp on art studies.

        It says that the content can’t be digital, you’d have to use video tapes or other analog medium.
