No, I do not care about "traditional family values", I care about the commodification of bodily autonomy. "Traditional family values" as this author alludes to have never protected those, especially not for women and girls. This just happens to be the first place I heard about this, since most left publications have chosen to abdicate their role in reporting on such things (such as the UN deciding that we need laws to protect pimping + actively encourage prostitution + refer to child sex slaves as "sexual child labor" or whatever (I do not need to elaborate on what needs to be done about such people, presumably?)).

The main argument being made here is "porn make taxes and GDP go up" which you should be familiar with by now. Generally these kinds of laws are used to create legal protection for pimping.

This is not auspicious news

Attention Citizens, the 3 day military operation in Ukraine is now even more important, because these savages... Legalized porn.

Surely that justified citing an immensely transphobic trash fire that calls itself a news site.

https://www.kyivpost.com/post/55940 If this is about the law in this article, it specifically does not decriminalize the distribution of child pornography.

General anti-pornography laws are paternalistic anti-sex-worker trash 💩💩💩💩💩

(I didn't read more than the first sentence of the article, bad enough that you made me give Russian propaganda a click)

Not sure I follow. You don't like porn, correct? Because ... there are people who rape children...?

The insatiable need for porn by the Westerners by any means necessary quite literally is on display.

Mods, I feel like this post should be removed for the incredibly biased and sensationalized body text.

I highly doubt anyone in a position of power is saying publically that victims of CSAM should be reclassified as "minor sex workers" or whatever the fuck you're talking about. You really do a good job of making yourself sound dumb and crazy, just like the MAGAts in the rest of the US.

Are you telling on yourself, OP?

You're just ignorant, papers like The Guardian do it too, it's not only the UN Rapponteur for yadda yadda, there are huge NGOs dedicated to lobbying for these legal changes to protect the human trafficking industry. You'd never guess - they're funded by human traffickers themselves to present the cause to intl orgs like the UN and Gates Foundation. The paper trail is all out in the open. I'll walk everyone through it some other time, but this whole thread screeches desperation and loneliness. Seriously creeps me out the way horny idiots fall for the Onlyfans psyop. You're as bad as the dudebro podcasters lol
