I'mma say this for all the people in the back. Don't vote for a person. Vote for your rights, for the rights of others. On page 5 of Project 2025's 180-day plan they openly call for outlawing porn, recommending imprisoning anyone who creates it. Are you an NSFW artist, or like the art? THIS IS YOU.

This is one their website. They're laying the groundwork with all these ID laws to shut off all access to it, and if you don't think this applies to you, remember: they view ALL LGBT+ content as porn. There's a hundred other reasons, but if you draw, maybe consider where you'll be in the crossfire.

Just figured I'd add this. 20+ years ago the Justice Department, under Republican rule, declared the statue of Lady Justice obscene and pornographic and covered her with a cloth. They don't respect tasteful nudity. Don't think they'll respect you.

Oh, I remember this and Ashcroft. A lot of what Bush 2 did was the trial run for what we see in Project 2025. People had better get out and vote, because this is no time to screw around or fall back on the smug "both sides!" BS. Because I don't see anything like this coming from Democrats.

Yep. That's the thing. People may not like porn or NSFW, and that's totally fine. But a lot of people do, and of people will be swept up in something that was literally legal the day before. The problem is what they define as "porn" is too broad. Anything they don't like is porn or "the devil."

Exactly. I mean, they would classify a good chunk of fantasy art--like say, from Frazetta or Boris V--as porn.

Music, too. Imagine them going after Cardi B for WAP. Any sort of art will be lumped into specific categories, censored and controlled, and if not... it goes on "the list." And they're openly broadcasting this. It's a tired phrase, but "when people tell you who they are believe them."

I've seen a fundamentalist christian textbook censor a Tolstoy short story to remove a brief mention of a woman breastfeeding her own infant child. There is no floor.

tbh the bible, sex ed materials, literally how babies are made, society needs to lock anyone up who even ADVOCATES for that/s but seriously, i prefer sfw spaces, and im pretty sure eliminating nsfw spaces is just gonna make avoiding it harder. although, prohibition worked well last 20s...

Many Democrats backed KOSA which was a push in this direction, a few of them continued even after LGBT rights and free speech groups pressured to drop it. But you're still partially right because it's way fewer of them.

Uh, dude from Missouri, all you need to know. His son is now the SoS there, probably the next governor. It's not going well for anyone who lives in that horrid horrid state.

He's actively trying to pull the same kind of library restrictive policies DeSantis pulled in Florida and most people don't even really know!

I stayed at my sisters for 3 months in Missouri. Day One back in AZ, 106 feels like 109 today. Official HEAT comparison is Steaming VS Oven Baking. Can anyone me tell IF Missourians are going to be able to vote on their referendum rights being taken away? Can't find it.

And we're headed for 113 on Wednesday in central CA. I've never seen 113.

I lived near the east end of Carmel Valley in the early 1970s, where it often hit 120 degrees in the summer. There was no humidity, so it was actually not all that unpleasant.

I'm not sure, but I'm guessing no, it's as hard red as state as their is. Completely red from top to bottom and fully gerrymandered. KC doesn't even get a vote.

Side question, but why did the curtains cost $8,000?
Avatar
Probably because somebody was looking to take them home once all the BS blew over.

Unless the job is up for a bid, contractors will inflate the price of their contract to the government because an Act requires the government to pay any invoice in a prompt fashion or be on the hook for interest.

See project 2025 for the real objective about anything "pornographic". This is just the start.

And they view all content that doesn't reinforce brutal gender norms as queer btw.

Whoever wrote that shit needs their internet history checked.

That's what I am doing. Voting against Project 2025
Avatar
Yeah. That's one reason I'm going the porn route. There's a ton of reasons to be against it, but we're an arts community. Imagine if they came in sand you can't draw that anymore... and if you do, you're going to jail. Pure chaos. People SHOULD be afraid of what they're telling them they'll do.
Avatar
Is that a SFW commission... but it has a rainbow? Banned. Twink? Banned. Anything LGBT adjacent banned. While this is a bit of fearmongering, they could just outright say since furry is by and large LGBT all of it is now outlawed. They'd have that power.
Avatar
given the insanity of proj 2025, the furries in schools manufactured scandals as of late, their love for generalization, etc.., yeah that could easily happen
Avatar
Yeah, they've been targeting us with brazen lies, and... I don't even know how people believe them, they're so stupid. What, students only respond in meows and barks and the schools are powerless to do anything about it? Even their lies are stupid.
Avatar
Considering the amount of satanic panics white Americans have on a daily basis, they will believe any lie that their God fearing selves will hear.

Furry would/is 1000% be looked at as indecent regardless of state of character nudity or content, anything not made by a corporation would be considered deviant. It’s not even hyperbole it’s what the more extreme ones say all the time.
Avatar
Hope they love the internet since the furries are the ones running it.

Does it have a character who’s anything resembling gender nonconforming? Indoctrinating The Children into Transgenderism™️ and Sexual Immorality™️, and therefore banned.

Yes. It's not just voting for who you want to be president. It's also voting for the others and the agenda that go with that person.
Avatar
There are still an alarming number of leftists here who think Project 2025 is nothing more than fearmongering by the Democrats. They need to be shown this by other leftists in order to be convinced.

It's. Right. There. not a bogeyman, not a drill

I know, right? But it's been all about the "vibes" for these folks.

If Trump wins (or cheats) his way into office, it's a question of when, not if, myself and a good majority of furs end up in concentration camps. They've made their objectives perfectly clear. I'm not voting for Biden, I'm voting for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness
