    I don’t understand, why not just mandate that parents should implement parental controls or something instead of blocking it for everyone? I think this is more the religious right agenda in action. Edit: not what pornhub did, but what TX was trying to do

      Texas needs to control people because they believe in small government. How else do you display freedom and amall government other than restricting rights and punishing people? /s

        Yes, this is part of their strategy to implement small government by controlling what hormones people can put in their bodies and whether they can have an abortion. The mandatory genital inspections for kids are also part of their small government initiative. #landofthefree

            I really like the penis inspection day joke, because it constructs a narrative of systemic rape culture that would have easily been normalised if it were real, and draws attention to the normalisation. It gets people thinking about rape culture without even noticing that they’re thinking. And thereby vaccinates people against normalisation of systemic rape. I believe the shitposters who laughed at penis inspection day memes are more likely to understand the absurdity of actual anti-trans legislation.

      That’s likely what they wanted and pornhub said “no, were not spending money to implement your fascist bullshit, instead no porn for you. Good luck.”

      The murder and rape rate are about to skyrocket in Texas sadly enough.

        They already had 26,000 rape related pregnancies, just 26,000 rape related pregnancies, NOT 26,000 total rapes.

        I thought the same thing when I read that. I mean, there are other porn sites, but it’ll still drive up sexual assault.
