why is “when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible” one of the best lines ever written
Starting today, September 1st, Texas will see the implementation of SB20, criminalizing the possession of obscene creative materials that "appear to be child-like." Creative works contain diverse contexts, and ages are often determined within the story. Drawing a line based on the subjective standard of "looking like" is nonsensical, and if it becomes a criminal offense, it will no longer be tolerated as a joke. There is no guarantee that this censorship will reduce the number of real-life criminals. Fear of public backlash may prevent people from taking bold steps immediately after it is enacted. It could have a deterrent effect (as was the case with yesterday's event), and someone could be arrested long before we've forgotten about it. Such laws must not be expanded to other regions, and they must be monitored worldwide. I will continue to raise awareness of this issue with Japanese fans.
It always starts with porn and sex. And that's why defending porn against censorship isn't "embarrassing", it's the cornerstone of stopping this shit before it starts. When you don't fight on the side of porn in the debate of censorship, you're always next.
let me remind everyone again...
-there's nothing progressive in censorship
-censorship is a nuke, not a scalpel
-censorship won't stop at the icky problematic art, fics or games that you despise so much
-if you're against censorship then you gotta have to defend the indefensible
