Fuck that and you’re stupid. You’re just falling for their bullshit “save the children” nonsense so they can extend their overreach to ban more media they don’t like
Granted someone who jerks off to toddler lolicon is super gross and should probably talk to a therapist. And someone who is making cp deepfakes is way worse and there is probably an argument for government intervention at this point. And both should maybe not pass a background check for jobs like babysitter.
But giving the government carte blanche to “ban cp in anime”, especially by the wording of this proposal? Fuck that
If you read that and think “oh yeah, Texas is qualified to judge whether something is justifiably obscene” then I go back to my first statement: fuck that and you’re fucking stupid
Someone already brought up evangelion as an incredible work that wouldn’t pass this morality test and isn’t pornographic but others in the same boat just off the the top of my head: oyasumi punpun, chainsaw man (remember Denji is 16 at the beginning), blue period, o maidens in your savage season, etc. all fantastic works (even if the second season of chainsaw man is mid)
Plus even age appropriate characters in ero doujin that don’t explicitly state their age but perform “perverse” sex acts (eg any) will potentially be grounds for deletion.
This law moves to target deepfake style child pornography. This is probably a good idea but the language needs to be explicitly defined and super clear, especially with the government the way it is right now. And Texas, of all states, is not the one to trust
This is so broadly written it can apply to just about anything. Considering how puritanical America is about anything sex related, this will definitely be abused.
They think it’s better to repress peoples natural sex drive if it is anything outside of traditional puritanical marriage. They tell themselves that sex is only for making babies, yet any type of violence is apparently socially acceptable.
The sad part is that repression often leads to some sort of perversion or kink anyway. So this type of legislation often leads to the issue that it is attempting to solve.
If just talking to your kids about sex at the appropriate age is too awkward, have the government pass draconian laws instead! Problem solved. /s
