Volcel jokes aside, that's unfortunate.
Overall, I do think China is on the right track. but they def. have their issues with trying to legislate morality a little too much.
I don't think Gianna Michaels/hentai is going to inspire the populace to take up arms in a capitalist revolution.
They don't seem to think so.
Well maybe the Chinese government isn't 100% infallible with only laws that are completely necessary.
They're not but I don't think this is one of those cases.
If I ran a government, and said there was a ban on peanut butter, but the populace still regularly got peanut butter anyway, what would be the actual point of my ban exactly?
It would probably have the effect of reducing peanut butter consumption to a level below what would happen if it was legalized.
I don't blame China for not wanting to fully open the porn spigot. It's probably wise as a precautionary measure.
Okay, are you an unironic volcel or something? lol
Freely available porn doesn't corrupt people or "the culture" or whatever you're implying there.
I don't really think that's been proven yet.
...I think that's about all I need to hear.
you assuming there is absolutely no harm being done by pornography is by far the more absurd position, particularly when the alternative is "we're not sure yet"
I'm willing to bet whatever harm there is is negligible to the average, well-adjusted adult.
perhaps. but without evidence you're just making a statement of belief. have you considered there might be more to the position maintained by the other side than "i'm willing to bet based on precisely nothing"?
As stated elsewhere, I'm sure there is a reason, but based on the past history of pornography bans, there's very high odds that it's not all that good and not based on any actual logic.
