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."

"And they're openly broadcasting this." Yep. In a way, that is a good thing. They're not hiding it anymore, so we know exactly what they are planning. Which means we have no excuses; we have to push back on this and the best way is to vote.

What's frightening is that they're boldly open about this. Imagine what *else* they have planned that's still under wraps.

If you normalize hate, and proceed to make things people find normal illegal, by the time you take the next steps they no longer seem as extreme because they've normalized the hate.

To directly quote a book whose title is conveniently my year of birth, "we will abolish the orgasm".

Authoritarians go further than they say they will. It’s always worse. Sorry but yeah. Astounding this is in the public space.

I strongly believe they need to be taught a lesson -in the courts, in the schools, in the government, and in society- and have their noses rubbed in failure and isolation ... have them learn that they can't bully us without us fighting back.

Yea, they are still being a bit coy about the pogroms they desire.

these people think michaelangelo's david is pornographic, for fuck's sake!

Exactly. It was even the subject of an episode of THE SIMPSONS!

They aren't telling who they are. It's MUCH worse.

I know the romance novel writer/reader community is concerned. Anyone who can be labeled a “smut peddler” will be lumped into this.

Exactly. I know she's no longer with us, but honestly, they would be pulling the novels of Jackie Collins off the shelves if they get their chance to implement Project 2025. (And I loved Collins' novels....)

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.
