A system's purpose is what it does.
Those of you who supported this sort of thing to own the ~~d-generates~~ gooners, I hope it was worth it.
This is goofy posturing when those laws aren't about "gooners," but what is accessible to minors. I don't think it's likely a very useful law because it can be circumvented and is liable to just obstruct non-porn things like seen here, but to take this extremely anti-moralizing-moralizing stance as though the claim was that 13-year-olds are being labeled "d-generates" is comically bad faith.
I dont have the hard data but I've been noticing that SWERFy rhetoric has been gradually accepted in like "left leaning spaces" like 5 years ago being a SWERF used to be something to be laughed at but now the word SWERF is barely used anymore. I feel theres some astroturfing going on (like paying someone 5 dollars just to post about the evils of PORN ADDICTION) and a really misguided belief that the best way to prevent sexual harrassment and SA is by making everyone disgusted at everything related to sex. Like personally I am not a huge fan of sex stuff but these people seem to miss that what's ultimately important is CONSENT. Perhaps because I lived in a country that is very prude (Indonesia) I know that mentality ultimately does nothing and if anything arguably made the issues worse.
Anyway in Occupied Korea national ID is essentially required to access the internet it led to great things such as people getting cyberbullied and doxxed through ID leaks. Herr Starmer and Rowling really saw this and thinks that's a good thing.
Do you believe that the lawmakers decided that they would abuse the bill before or after it was passed? For your post to make any sense, you would have to believe that the lawmakers did not have malicious intentions prior to passing the bill.
Based on the observable reality that the law is being abused to prevent people from seeing Israeli war crimes. The law has been active for less than a week and it is already being used to protect Zionist ideology. We are observing the this law being used maliciously immediately after going into effect and you are suggesting that we must still frame the law as if it was passed with good intentions.
Are we to assume that the lawmakers had pure intentions and have made a mistake by blocking anti-Zionist topics? Are we naive? It is necessary to consider that the motivations were malicious prior to the implementation of the bill.
There was already a mechanism that exists for preventing minors from seeing pornography on the internet. It's called parental supervision. Additional to monitoring their child's internet usage, a parent can use a firewall on their own devices to block content unsuitable for minors.
The motivations of internet ID laws are made in bad faith. This has been observed in the past year with over 20 US states requiring porn websites to verify IDs of every visitor and then the states do not provide the websites with the tools needed to verify the ID of each visitor. Then the websites block traffic from the states, so that they don't get sued. The intention of these laws is to outlaw porn websites and the promoters of these laws blatantly say so.
The people pushing Internet ID laws are lying. Their intentions are not protecting children. People who want to ban transgender medical care, claim that they are protecting children. People who want to ban abortion, claim that they are protecting children. People who want to ban same-sex marriage, claim that they were protecting children. It should be considered that reactionaries commonly use "protecting children" to justify enforcing their puritanical world view.
Let me repeat that I don't support the policy, I think that it's purely detrimental.
I'd understand if you found it tedious, but I was objecting to BeamBrain's specific characterization of the nature of support for the policy (however misguided and incorrect, which you can glean that I believe from my not supporting the policy). Their phrasing made it sound like the stated target of the bill was 20-something porn addicts and the like, which to my understanding was not the case. However:
(Emphasis mine) I forgot about this part if I ever knew it, so that's my bad. I don't think that it represents the majority of the support, but I must admit that it is some of it.
Barely two weeks ago you called a completely innocuous drawing of a lesbian couple "gooner shit."
I made very clear at the time that my complaint was about the game itself and the drawing was banal. Also, this is pathetic, blatant deflection.
It's not deflection if your anti-erotic bias is showing
That's an extremely poor attempt at an own. It's ""anti-erotic bias"" to despise the mainstreaming of blatantly misogynistic video games.
