I know smut may seem like a frivolous thing to be upset about, but crushing it is part of fascism. Controlling all forms of sexual expression is fascism. Only allowing certain kinds is fascism. Smut peddlers are always canaries in the coal mines.

It always starts with the smut, and then the list of what counts as "degenerate art" gets longer and longer and longer until the only art deemed "acceptable" is state propaganda.

At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what you yourself consider to be "pornographic" - it's how the people in power define it, and there's a lot of folks who'd call a children's book about having two moms/dads "obscene" because queer lives are always "pornographic" to them.
My Jr high psych teacher used to post the question of what is normal. We never got past that question until he replied it's what you think is normal vs another. Normal is an opinion!

Yeah there's a reason they think that, and it's usually that their own selves are the first targets of their repression.
