Not The Onion
i appreciate the framing, but this is arguably weirder because the thing they're actually doing is installing spyware on their phones and computers that monitors all of their internet traffic. they're christian anti-fap extremists.
Don't worry. There is a zero percent chance that it could ever be exploited to where a third party could gain remote access to the Speaker's electronic devices to monitor his internet activity. The app he's using is secure.

Yup. This is what evangelicals are talking about when they say they care about 'being held accountable'
the first time i heard this described was...an odd evening for sure
Can you Americans get rid of these weird soulless pod people already
sorry, my father and i monitor each other's voting habits too
There's an alternate punchline to this, but I finally found my line for what's too revolting to write
I seriously contend that sexual repression is its own kink for Christofascists and they do get off to it on several levels, from secret-taboo gimmicks to exclusivity and denial-of-access to the poors of the secret-taboo gimmicks to the sheer authoritarian power rush of it all.
Mitt Romney's "Eyes Wide Shut" parties come to mind.
Even the desire to force others to conform to that repression seems like its own sexual pathology.
This got posted in two separate communities so I'll repeat my comment here:
Seems like it's more that he's monitoring his son's porn intake in a way that makes it sound less like over-controlling spyware being imposed on the son and more like mutual accountability.
He's either already ideologically committed enough to fundamentalist Christianity to not watch porn, or more likely just has another device. So there's nothing for his son to "monitor".
It is abusive either way. It's bad enough that the reinforcing mechanism being used is shame since that is absolutely not a healthy way to deal with mental health conditions, but in this case it's being disclosed to someone with power over them. And you know damn well that "don't be queer" is part of what they're being held accountable for.
edit: should probably clarify that almost nobody in these programs actually is using porn enough to where it is actually compulsive. For most organizations like this, the broader purpose it serves is similar to those Scientology confessionals where they release your whole file if you go against them. It's cult behavior. They want leverage.
Imagine what the CIA must have on him.
Edit: after reading it feels more like an evangelical thing than a sex pest thing. Not that those are mutually exclusive. Who knows what the future will bring? Dennis Hastert seemed like a normal guy when he was elected and look at what we know about his past now.
yeah it's either something hilarious and weird or it's my day one guess that he's just closeted.
Imagine thinking this is a totally normal and cool thing to do
Whatever happened to those good old fashioned values on which we used to rely?
His son's name is literally Jack Johnson. His fucking name is Jacking his Johnson. His identity is masturbating.
If this were parody, it would be completely hamfisted. I wonder if Mike Johnson has ever searched for a ham fisting porn category
Now the CHUD ideology makes sense. They see real life through the same lens as porn.
-
All their racist assumptions? It's them being unable to control their raceplay fantasies from shaping their worldview.
-
They assume all LGBT people want to fuck them? Again, that's their sexual fantasies dominating their worldview.
-
Why they're misogynist? They see themselves as 'big daddy' from their porn and this is why they are too insecure in their masculinity to accept objectively good things like pro-environmental policies and the like because they think they'll be less like the macho porn man they see themselves as.
I don't know if it's possible to say one lens precedes the other, and if it is, the order is probably different for different people. Pornbrain may get you to right wing thought, or vice versa, but it's all from a deep feeling of insecurity and resulting pleasure from hierarchy.
