Sweet making it illegal just makes it even more enticing!

Anyone in OK down for some illegal sexting? 😏

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

But only for the poor and unconnected, naturally.

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.

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.

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!

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

“lacks serious literary, artistic, educational, political, or scientific purposes or value”

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

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 15 points 11 months ago

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.

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.

How would the sexting one be enforced exactly ?

[-] pete_the_cat@lemmy.world 14 points 11 months ago

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

He's not trying to ban porn, it just all has to be like, my hot stepsister teaches me differential equations or slutty milf discusses Chaucer's use of metaphor.

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.
