And for repeat offenders, we can give them life sentences. We'll call it the "three strokes law".

he bill, set to be introduced next month by state Sen. Dusty Deevers (R-Elgin), would prohibit consuming or producing sexual content that “lacks serious literary, artistic, educational, political, or scientific purposes or value” in any medium.

Deevers, a Baptist pastor who was elected last year to represent a rural district that includes the tiny cities of Comanche (population under 1,400) and Elgin (about 3,700),

So some backwater representative is proposing something that will never go anywhere. I bet stupid bills like this are proposed weekly.

There’s no way that dude is not railing twinks every weekend.

I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, but his doubtless moral hypocrisy is rustling like a loud chip bag in the movies.

i dont understand how things like this can even be pushed to begin with.

It's like banning a word because it makes you think of things that are somewhat unpleasant.

Another proud moment for Christianity

[–] Draedron@lemmy.dbzer0.com 20 points 8 months ago (1 children)

They really want a christian theocracy. In 2024. Completely crazy.

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 15 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Yallqaeda everyone.

They cry about Sharia law because they really want Bible law... It's fucking stone age bullshit, it's absolutely insane we're still dealing with this crap.

Scariest part to me is the idea they create death panels.. sorry, felony sentencing panels... sorry, defining what is art and culture panels....

Of course, politicians will still watch porn and continue to cheat on their partners. Just you silly peasants won't be able to watch porn, because of Jesus or something!

How would the sexting one be enforced exactly ?

[–] pete_the_cat@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago

The same way all these other proposed tech bans happen: they won't.

My two take aways from the article

  1. I need to find a way to invest in VPNs somehow
  2. I need to see what comes up when you search for "sex dick"

I wonder how easily one could "discover" search and sext history for those backing this bill..... and accidently leaving it where their constituents could see how black that pot actually is.

[–] Kase@lemmy.world 16 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Everybody's saying this will never go anywhere, but y'all, as someone from Oklahoma, I wouldn't be surprised at all if this bill made it through. I mean yeah, it'd definitely be struck down in court if it did, but I could easily see it happening. 乁⁠(⁠ ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠ ⁠)⁠ㄏ

I don’t know anything about the states really, but this makes Oklahoma sound like a real shithole.

Let me guess: his wife caught him watching gay porn and since he is a good Christian he wants to save others from falling into the same trap? And now his wife is really proud of him?

Let's get back to the golden era of porn with some good story telling, step bro.
