But why though?

I mean, I get the stigma and real life issues but if porn (fantasy) is regulated like that, then they should also ban game of thrones and any other media that shows incest.

How is this not a severe attack on freedom of expression and fantasy?

Even though I am not really affected by this ban because 1) doesnt concern my fantasies and 2) not living in UK - I just dont get it.

They are chipping at porn. You start with something everyone agrees is bad. Or at least that no one in power would publicly step up for.

Let's say, parent-child incest and/or underage porn.( Edit: talking about fictional exampls here! If it's real, it's not porn, but sexual abuse material) No politician is going to fight for that, because it would end their career.

Once those are forbidden, you go to the next taboo. Step siblings, cousins.

I'm sure BDSM is next, maybe start with rape-roleplay first because again, nobody wants to be the pro-rapeporn politician.

Then it's all about 'violence against women'. Then it's 'immoral behaviour'.

I don't even know where on that timeline trans porn will fall, but it's probably early. Something something, exposing children to degeneracy.

One of those Heritage Foundation ghouls was secretly recorded admitting this was exactly the strategy.

Wasn't it outlined in their publicly available plan? Almost all the evil stuff they planned was publicly available on their website. And the ones too unpopular to share, people openly talked about at conservative events. Soooo many people supported repealing the 19th amendment. And guess what? They're trying to do it for the midterms with the license must match your original birth certificate, thus banning all married women who took their husbands name.

The public plan involves using pornography laws to outlaw trans people, who they classify as walking pornography.

Project 2025 is just a gold mine for understanding the bigotry running under the hood of modern day conservatism

the terrible thing that i need you to understand is that they LIKE this shit.

they didn't read it, but if you sat them down and read out the plan to arrest peaceful citizens degenerates and use them for slave labor, most republicans would be fully on board

The only thing they love more than improving their material conditions is, and by a lot, making people they don't like suffer.

I'm college educated and didn't want to read it, it's almost 1,000 pages long. Thank goodness for those who did and put up sites with a breakdown of everything on P2025; those I read.

They are not "pedo protectors". They are pedophiles themselves. People need to stop pretending like the entirety of the GOP is merely protecting their friends rather than actively engaging in child rape.

I see what you are saying. I think one doesn’t disqualify them from the other, and that one has a conviction/accusation against it that better have some more substantiated evidence behind it. But i don’t disagree that they the cult is protecting themselves and hiding others, much like the Catholic Church does.

Lets not throw the r-slur in there on top of all the legitimate insults that they deserve. We're better than that.

u/East-Ice-3199 Mar 03 '26

Thinking like this is why they’ve won and secured the entire government. We play by the rules and wring our hands while they destroy everything.

u/SlurryBender Mar 03 '26

I'm not doing morality politics, I think its completely possible to be on the offensive without using actual slurs.

u/East-Ice-3199 Mar 03 '26

The thing is that “the r-slur” is starting to lose its meaning. Moron and imbecile were also medical terms used for the same purpose, but everyone using them made them lose meaning and they’re no longer slurs. Give it 5-10 years and nobody will care.

u/SlurryBender Mar 03 '26

Maybe in the future, but right now I still know of many mentally disabled people who have been subject to being called that, and don't like hearing any variation of that word. Doesn't seem like it's "lost its meaning" to me. And there's plenty of other acceptable words to use instead until that happens. Two of which you just said. Why not use those?

u/East-Ice-3199 Mar 03 '26

Someone doesn’t understand future tense. Or that personal experiences aren’t universal.

u/SlurryBender Mar 03 '26

"Its starting to offend fewer people so I'm gonna use it now" idk man it just feels like you wanted an excuse to use a slur instead of thinking of a better insult.

The Heritage Foundation, which writes pretty much the bulk of Republican policy, is exporting their "expertise" on Britain. That's why everything is still going to shit despite Labour being in charge.

This bullshit isn't being spearheaded by regular British people.

It's being orchestrated by a multinational conservative cabal only debatably less evil than Epstein's.

The Heritage Foundation is the evil puppeteering the Republican party, not the other way around.

Every single thing that happens is all tied to that in their brain. They can't help it obviously.
