was wondering when someone was gonna post about this on hexbear. I wanted to a week a ago but i was worried that half people on here would agree with the bill and call me a pervert or something.
edit: to everyone asking for context im not trying to start a drama thread or god forbid a call out post. you just have to be more chronically online here, get on my level /hj. but really spend enough time here and you'll see this site is very weird about sex, sex workers, censorship and people will quickly devolve to name calling and dog pilling people for having extremely mainstream leftist takes. its not half the site that was hyperbole but its toxic enough to make me feel uncomfortable. have a good day- othello out!
I guess thats reassuring. I still wish this wasnt the moral panic site, like im sure If i branded the bill differently I could get many people here onboard. Maybe im wrong but it certainty makes things feel less safe. Maybe im just too autistic and cant tell when people are joking, but I doubt it.
im honestly baffled how anyone could think hexbear is "the moral panic site", or be this supremely confident of their own ability to hoodwink the userbase here into supporting a hateful bill. this is the most trans-positive site I've found on the internet
hexbear is super trans positive. Also I didnt mean me in particular, im not some genius trickster, but if the republicans were less outwardly transphobic you (or anyone here really) could get a lot of people to agree to many aspects of the bill and censoring adult content. im not gonna get into a debate because i dont want to summon the people in question, (but they are really mean to other people, honestly its a smaller handful of regular posters, but they are vocal) i dont have the bandwidth today.
ah okay, guess I misunderstood the main point of your comment— and I forgot that since I have ignored most of the struggle session topics around personal consumption, I have probably missed some heated arguments over porn.
I'm genuinely trying to figure out what you're talking about because "hexbear would support this bill if the GOP disguised the language a little more" is something that could only possibly be the result of some previous beef, and that was the most plausible scenario I could come up with.
Using the capitalist state to punish people who post sexual content isn't sex trade abolition though, it only facilitates a culture of secrecy that makes those affected more vulnerable
I spend months at a time away from this site, so I'm just trying to figure out what previous drama would cause this person to think that the site is full of moral panic puritans, and "adult content" jumped out at me.
A lot of people are pushing back on your comment but a while ago someone on here was defending a very similar censorship bill passed in Utah because it was anti-porn.
Yeah we're a bit prudish, not even just about porn but about anything that could imply being sexual. You make one thirsty comment or call someone hot and you get the volcel vanguard on your ass!
If things legitimately got that bad here I'd leave the site and permanently log off. I know it's got flaws ATM but I think the mods have done a good job of keeping the reactionaries posing as leftists out.

Wut? Are you posting on the right site? Theres no way you could get people on this site to be in favor of an anti trans bill no matter how you phrased it. Can you provide some examples of the moral panic you're referring to? Mostly so mods can go ban the people responsible because that's not what's going on here.
yeah I dont have the energy today sorry. and i just cant handle people being mean today so I dont want to get into it. (sorry having a rough one) forget I said anything. maybe im crazy.
Well for the record I don't think you're crazy and I'm not trying to be mean. I'm just surprised to see this take and am curious as to where it's coming from. I get not having the energy to engage in it though, hope you're feeling better soon
You're not wrong, people here support China banning porn for all ages, they're just iffy about the US doing it. If this bill was only for censoring porn and nothing else we would probably see some support for it
There are so many censorship bills that have been passed over the last twenty years to "won't somebody think of the children!" And they're all bullshit. Utter bullshit.

If there’s one thing non-negotiable on here, it’s our love for our trans comrades

👍
Are you implying that sex trade abolitionists are equivalent to queer bashers?
I didnt imply that at all. not even a little bit. you are a dick.

Ok but who's advocating for that?

Yea this site gets very weird about porn very quickly. And in the very NoFap zealot type of way. No way is it universal but it's pretty weird.
In my experience the types of people who become full on anti porn have had traumatic sexual experiences so I try to keep that in mind.
Yeah we're a bit prudish, not even just about porn but about anything that could imply being sexual. You make one thirsty comment or call someone hot and you get the volcel vanguard on your ass!
Least favourite part of the site.

I love our mods, we got the best mods!

thank you, and you're very nice (as usual) maybe i can dm you later. have a nice day
