From Wikipedia about NCOSE

The National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE), previously known as Morality in Media and Operation Yorkville, is an American conservative anti-pornography organization. The group has also campaigned against sex trafficking, same-sex marriage, sex shops and sex toys, decriminalization of sex work, comprehensive sex education, and various works of literature or visual arts the organization has deemed obscene, profane or indecent. [...] The organization describes its goal as "exposing the links between all forms of sexual exploitation".

Doing the lords work by fucking up (lol) any discourse about sexuality.

I can agree with exactly ONE thing on that list which is worth campaigning against and that's sex trafficking. However, given that this lot voted in a fucking pedo rapist as the supreme leader of their country, I doubt their conviction.

Reminds me of enforcing the identification of all internet users for the sake of "protecting the children".

[–] Saledovil@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Which actual criminals can circumvent, and takes away anonymity from children, which is by far the best protection for them. So yeah, if you want to protect children, this is a serious step back.

You can still identify children online. A/S/L never fails

Reminds me of the Omegle zombie survival game:

  1. You have six shotgun shells.
  2. Connect to a random person.
  3. If they ask "ASL", they're a Zombie. If you have a shotgun shell left, you shoot them and use up one shell. If not, they bite you and you die.
  4. Ask "What is OP?". If they give the correct answer, they're a fellow survivor, and both of you refill your shotgun shells.

Generally, the "sex trafficking" these types of groups campaign against is the non-existent QAnon variant, where those people are somehow trafficking millions and millions of (white suburban) kids into sex slavery in those countries for more of those people.

Because fucking of course they're fascists. Of course.

comprehensive sex education

Ah yes, because if there is anything that will prevent exploitation it’s not being educated about sex.

[–] Saledovil@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 month ago

A thing about how the group's goals are contradictory: Sex education is probably the best tool to protect children from sexual exploitation. So stopping sex ed aids child molesters, by making it easier to manipulate children.

It's very weird to see "decriminalization of sex work" in there though. Because that's extremely progressive. (And positive in my eyes.)

[–] 9bananas@feddit.org 17 points 1 month ago (1 children)

"campaigning AGAINST"

they're against that...

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

Oh I see thanks.

[–] HearTwoTalk@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

They're against decriminalizing it
