Oklahoma proposal would make watching porn a felony, ban sexting outside marriage

Cool. Let's see the legislature's browser histories.

My money says this guy can't even close his closet door anymore for all the skeletons.
- He's in there with them.
Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, loves talking about his creepy spy app he and his son have on their phone that alerts the other if they visit naughty sites. So the writers of this proposal and all that vote for it would be happy to put the same program on their devices and computers, right? And tie that straight to a public feed we can all see? Great Great.
- See when I read this story it isn't really that bad.
  They believe porn is bad and use the app to keep each other accountable. I don't really have an issue with that. You do you.
  But when they start trying to enforce that view through the government it's obviously not okay.
- pubic feed
  hehe
- creepy spy app
  The only thing that spy app is making them do, is hiding a second phone from everyone. Guarantee it.
They’ll be exempt, obviously.

🤔

Sex dick? Really Oklahoma? Are you guys OK?
- They want to ban porn because it might tempt those who desperately want to be one of the straights.
  But seriously, that congressman is so scared of being gay that they want everyone else to give up porn so they won't be challenged by easy dick.
- I'm switching my VPN server to Oklahoma before my next wank.
- Idk I'm more concerned about Minnesota with tickling
- Really living up to the shape of the state borders
- Florida finally gets a break. Unless the fantasy is involving both Oaklahoma and Arkansas.
Sees people in Indiana search for 'chubby.'
Looks around.
Yep, that tracks.
- Texans like sausage gravy all over some biscuits.
Classic Ohio
Wtf North Dakota. I refuse to believe there are multiple people up there typing "loud wet sex" into their search bars.
Shout out to Colorado. I'm wondering why Ohio's is "small dick" lol.
- I live in CO and a guy once (well, several times for months) told me I should be a dominatrix, not realizing my disdain was mostly exclusive to him, not men in general, but now I'm thinking I missed out on a lucrative career option. Well dang.
I'm in Wyoming. There's only ten of us here. The goth search was mine. The rest didn't bother with PornHub after I explained that "bear sex" wasn't going to give them the result they were expecting.
Idaho's "dildo ride" absolutely tracks. I have been wearing a Bad Dragon cap for weeks (it's an amazing hat) and it was a ~50 year old woman on the Idaho side of the mountain who recognized the logo.
EDIT: I am not joking. The caps are sick.
https://bad-dragon.com/products/caps
- Damn, that IS a killer hat. Almost tempted to get one myself. But having no other actual affiliation with BD, it would make things super, super awkward once someone actually recognizes the logo.
- I mean it can get them the result they're expecting if they use the furry tag.
- I am a guy whose proclivities are such that I'm probably never using a Bad Dragon. Still, I need this hat.
Is the car sex in Arizona because it's taboo to touch anything on the inside of a car in the summer? Like instead of the thrill of maybe getting caught that exhibitionists get, it's the danger of accidentally burning yourself on the metal clasp of a seat belt?
- The inside of a car in Arizona is so hot!
Lmao @ big ass cop in DC
Those poor, lonely Alaskans.
- So lonely they can’t even imagine porn with two human beings in it 😭
- I like that of all the states, Hawaii and Utah remain on-brand.
Relevant xkcd
I respect you, North Dakota
Nudist for Oregon and Sensual Sex for Washington make the PNW seem so wholesome and well adjusted. I wonder what BC is.
- Sex dick. Jk it's apparently Asian, here's the link for canada (NSFW obviously)
- I live in Oregon. You get neo-hippies or neo-Nazis, no in-between.
What the fuck is going on in Tennessee and Ohio?
...Smoking?
- It's a fetish. Some people enjoy seeing someone smoke while fucking and some people actually enjoy smoke being blown on them.
You know what, New Mexico, not gonna tease you, you’ve got a high native population and it probably does suck rarely seeing folks that look like you in porn. Same for you Hawaii.
Actually I feel like in a less sympathetic way Indiana gets the same treatment.
- What about Ohio?
Actually looking at their other stats are shocking. Like I’m actually really surprised with how much lesbian content blows other searches out of the water women are significantly more likely to search it than men. Same for trans porn.
Also props to milfs for being the number 2 search term. Mom bods really are having their day
Hawaii: Hawaiian.
So they're just walking around with their kink/preference in their faces all day? Sweeeeeeet.
- Only about 21% of the Hawaiian population is actually native Hawaiians.

Taking bets on how long it takes (not if, but when) this man is hacked and found to be absorbed in the exact thing he's trying to ban.

Taking bets now!
I'll start.
80pb porn collection
- Pedobytes.
- I'll raise you one word: *child
This should be called the “Methinks Thou Dost Protest Too Much” Rule.

Let's take bets on who's getting caught first! Drag queens or some god-fearing dude??

Don't pretend for a second itll actually be enforced against the in group

This is like... Middle East religion police stuff.

Everyone involved in pushing this law should be barred from working in government, and fined for wasting our time.

Just let them pass it then search their browser history. You know the only reason they're so concerned about it is they're ball's deep into it.

I love watching our clueless citizens just allow this descent into fascism. Who knew it would be as simple as just not teaching kids what the word means.

God I lm glad I live in a blue state.

Backwardass motherfuckers.

They'll move to the federal level soon enough. Have you met the current Speaker?

mmmm, smells like freedom

Ah yes, the party of small government strokes again

he bill, set to be introduced next month by state Sen. Dusty Deevers (R-Elgin), would prohibit consuming or producing sexual content that “lacks serious literary, artistic, educational, political, or scientific purposes or value” in any medium.

Deevers, a Baptist pastor who was elected last year to represent a rural district that includes the tiny cities of Comanche (population under 1,400) and Elgin (about 3,700),

So some backwater representative is proposing something that will never go anywhere. I bet stupid bills like this are proposed weekly.

- As is his moral stance on sexuality
Why can't we have random proposals for "strip billionaires naked and give 90% of their money to homeless people"?
- Because most candidates in both parties rely on the wealthy to fund their electoral race.
- https://www.sanders.senate.gov/press-releases/news-sanders-and-colleagues-introduce-legislation-to-combat-corporate-greed-and-end-outrageous-ceo-pay-2/
They should produce a bunch of political pornography about "Dirty Dusty."
I guess his congregation didn't tithe enough to him so he wants them locked up and found that politics was a much more lucrative grift.
- Dresses suspiciously well for a pastor of a town of 3,700
Have you not been paying attention to the laws that red states have been passing for the last decade?
Sure, it'll probably be challenged in court, and if our judicial system isn't complete trash, it'll be repealed. But there's a very real chance it gets passed.
- This is just a random proposal. It won't even make it to a point that it needs to go to a court. He's just some dude from a small district that has nothing to do.
  I get that American politics are weird AF right now, but shit like this is just posted to get a reaction. When ultimately it might sit on a desk for a week before it ends up in the trash.
I can support that, I hate when they gloss over the storyline or when they’ve forgotten it by the end/don’t follow up how the sex impacted the world
- I read this one book where this old guy saw a hooker on the road and paid her in some family heirlooms. A week later, he finds out his daughter-in-law (to his dead son) is pregnant, and he almost orders her death, but then she shows that she has the heirlooms. He was totally embarrassed and nothing else was said on the matter.

There’s no way that dude is not railing twinks every weekend.

I’m not saying that’s a bad thing, but his doubtless moral hypocrisy is rustling like a loud chip bag in the movies.

Another proud moment for Christianity

Everybody's saying this will never go anywhere, but y'all, as someone from Oklahoma, I wouldn't be surprised at all if this bill made it through. I mean yeah, it'd definitely be struck down in court if it did, but I could easily see it happening. 乁⁠(⁠ ಠ⁠_⁠ಠ⁠ ⁠)⁠ㄏ

And for repeat offenders, we can give them life sentences. We'll call it the "three strokes law".

What happens when they get off?
- They put you in front of the bukkake firing squad. No last meal requests because you should be pretty full by the end.

Small government right?

FREEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOM 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🍔🍔🍔🍔🍔🍔🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟🍟

I mean they are gonna be free to kill homeless people. That's gotta count for something.
Also, wonder how this will impact the incest porn scene.
This song sums it up really well
https://youtu.be/zG29C4skboc

So what do you think? How many of the politicians pushing for this are sexting with children?

That's the thing.... The bill is for 18+. What they are doing is funnelling sex fiends to the children their cabal sells. Epstein lives through celebrities and politicians.
Sadly that's probably true.

We really need a law where any politician who wants to vote to ban something has to first disclose their own relevant actions.

Or maybe just enforce the Constitution.

I don’t know anything about the states really, but this makes Oklahoma sound like a real shithole.

But only for the poor and unconnected, naturally.

Let me guess: his wife caught him watching gay porn and since he is a good Christian he wants to save others from falling into the same trap? And now his wife is really proud of him?

Sen. Dusty Deevers

This totally sounds like a pornstar name lol

Equally dusty thinky-bits, it's safe to presume.

These people are fucking insane, what the hell. Right wingers will tell you stories about sharia law and how they want to come to other countries and enforce said sharia law, and how that is bad (rightly so).

Yet here they are, advocating for y'all queda's version of sharia law. Fuck these christofascist stochastic terrorists

They really want a christian theocracy. In 2024. Completely crazy.

Yallqaeda everyone.
They cry about Sharia law because they really want Bible law... It's fucking stone age bullshit, it's absolutely insane we're still dealing with this crap.
- I'm not sure I've ever heard "Yallqaeda" before, but I think it's going straight into my lexicon.

Freedom and small government, right?

Just put a candidate endorsement in porn to make it political.

There's really nothing stopping a super PAC from buying pornhub ads, is there?

I wonder how easily one could "discover" search and sext history for those backing this bill..... and accidently leaving it where their constituents could see how black that pot actually is.

But after it's passed of course. That'd be the quickest a law was ever annulled.

How would the sexting one be enforced exactly ?

the obvious answer would be to do a 1984.
with ENHANCE! for some of us

We should all consider the meta of the situation as well, with an upcoming Republican candidate election, and the need to drive people out to the voting booth.

Oklahoma is a garbage pot

Go for it, no one wants to live in fucking Oklahoma anyway, what a backwards shithole

Calm down, Carl. Some of us already live here and would prefer it if he didn't make it worse thanks.
- How entrenched is the problem? At what point would you leave the state?

What is wrong with Americans?

They write articles about a bill some whacko proposed that has no chance of passing (and would be struck down in 5 minutes on first amendment grounds of it did) and pearl clutchers act like it's the end of the world. Have you seen The People vs Larry Flint? That took place 60 years ago. This shit is nothing new.
- a bill some whacko proposed that has no chance of passing
  A lot of the craziest shit in the lawbooks were things some whacko proposed "that has no chance of passing".
  and would be struck down in 5 minutes on first amendment grounds of it did
  Current SCOTUS precedent is that the First Amendment does not protect porn if it contains "obscenity". Specifically, any porn can be banned if it:
  Makes people uneasy
  Includes offensive sexual conduct - as decided by state law (?!?)
  "lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value"
  It's called the Miller Test
  Notice the wording used in the proposed law. It's already been pre-considered to have a solid chance of surviving a SCOTUS appeal. And the current SCOTUS wouldn't dream of overriding Conservative jurisprudence.
  pearl clutchers act like it’s the end of the world
  Unfortunately, this is the type of anti-reactionary discussion that led to us being genuinely surprised when Roe v Wade got overturned. Clarence Thomas used the opportunity to signal that he would like to overturn Obergefell and Griswold as well. And he 100% has Barrett on his side and almost certainly has Kavanaugh. That means all he has to do is elbow Gorsuch and suck off Roberts and porn (and sex toys) could be illegal in some states, working towards a federal ban.
- The whacko still found his way into that position.
Gen z, millennials, and The Gays. /S.
Edit: sorry I forgot the The Blacks, and Hunter Bidens Laptop.
Y'all Qaeda

I wish I didn't live in my COMMUNIST blue state where I can freely watch porn, read books, receive healthcare, feed hungry kids, breath clean air, turn around in driveways without getting shot and an abortion if I or my 10 year old daughter gets RAPED! I would MUCH rather live in a Red State where it's only legal to shoot homeless people, go to church and breath fumes from the coal plant next door unless it gets too cold and I freeze to death!

I agree with most of this, but don't act like your healthcare is enough if you live in the US.

""We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.—That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed..."

Time for the citizens of OK to speak up.

Brought to you be the people scaremongering about the threat of Sharia law.

🌈Freedom and small government

Are you implying 2 girls and a cup is not artistically relevant?

A lot of GOP going to land in hot water after they get caught watching trans porn.

Of course, politicians will still watch porn and continue to cheat on their partners. Just you silly peasants won't be able to watch porn, because of Jesus or something!

No, I'm afraid not.

Both of those are constitutionally illegal.

Let's ask the Supreme Court what do they think.

I didn't know they had an Oklahoma in Saudi Arabia!

Oklahoma no like freedom

Sen. Dusty Deevers just can't stop thinking about breasts, and yummy penises, and... won't someone help him? Won't the legislature pass a law keeping his hands in the open and off his crotch? Anyone, pass a law!

Committing felonies is really hot.

What would Jesus text?™

I'm sorry, I didn't know we lived under Sharia Law.

It's hilarious and ironic that Christian nationalists hate sharia law whilst wanting their own brand enacted.
- They don't hate sharia law because it's abhorrent. They hate sharia law because it's not Christian based.
Simple FYI.... it should be just "Sharia". Not "Sharia law".
- We aren't speaking Arabian. It's like "naan bread", sure, naan means bread but not in this language and we've lots of other breads....If you just say Rye a Canadian will hand you a glass of whisky not a loaf of bread.
Tomayto/tomahto, sharia/christo-fascist. Different pronunciations of the same thing.

only in oklahoma

Hey Oklahoma, clearly you have nothing to worry about Sharia law, you're doing a great job at introducing it yourselves.

The suggested law would even require social media sites like X to be made unavailable in the Sooner State, unless it heavily censored its content, as the Mary Sue noted.

Yeah okay there's no way this is going to pass. In fact I'm not convinced the guy who proposed it wanted it to.

This bill is the most transparent scaremongering of all time and Lemmy is eating it up

What is this, an attempt to stop women from making too much money with their onlyfans?

Honestly asking for second opinions: Looking at the report of the actual proposal, it seems to only target sexual content containing people under 18? Am I missing something?

I don't know if I've got this right but it would appear that the proposal will broaden the law holding the definition for child pornography to include watching porn and sexting. So you'll wind up as the same category of a sexual predator as an actual child molester.
- Jeebus fucking Christmas
Honestly asking for second opinions: Looking at the report of the actual proposal, it seems to only target sexual content containing people under 18? Am I missing something?
Based on a picture in the article of the first page of the law as its written, it seems to be modifying/enhancing an existing law that currently only affects minors, broadening it so that it covers all ages, and under new additional rules. IANAL.
- I also ANAL but I can't imagine this would ever gain any traction outside of drumming up publicity and self-promotion for the guy. This is a clear violation of the 1st Amendment regardless of one's personal politics.

This is in response to all male Republicans feeling terribly inadequate after seeing Hunter Biden's hog (thank you MTG!). I'm sure they all think the only way to please a woman is to have a large unit. lol.

Oklahoma, are you OK? (couldn't resist. hopefully they don't outlaw puns as well.)

OK, are you OK? Are you OK, OK?
-gotta get that right tune stuck in the head

These bills are ridiculous on their face, and I believe that is on purpose. The people proposing these bills know they haven't got a snowball's chance in Hell of passing, but that's not the point. The point is to gum up the works.

I'd paint dicks all over the town, so they have to walk around blindfolded or arrest themselves.

I hope for a mega screen to appear in the sky and stream 24/7 from pornhub. Premium.
Fascist bigot

The bill, set to be introduced next month by state Sen. Dusty Deevers (R-Elgin), would prohibit consuming or producing sexual content that “lacks serious literary, artistic, educational, political, or scientific purposes or value” in any medium.

Ok then, every piece of sexual content I produce or consume is in political protest of this specific bill. That should hold up in court. Bust one for Dusty!

Wait...
You're telling me that "Hentai is art" is a legal defense to this law, then?
Dusty Deevers is a cartoon name
This should be turned around like what was done with Rick Santorum (Santorum. Def: "the frothy mixture of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex.")
Back at the beginning of Google-bombing, this was one of the early incredibly successful campaigns. This one wasn't a neologism, but was another one that should be remembered just in case the ghoul Ann Coulter ever reemerges: I fucked Ann Coulter in the ass - hard.
We just need a good one for Dusty Deevers.
- How about - Deever: The bifurcation of the urine stream out of the male sex organ
  It plays on the sound of diverge, and is absolutely a thing people would want a word for. It will grow naturally as groups of dudes laughingly complain about it. And I bet old skeever deever will hate it.
He's just mad because he was born old. When they did the cracker jack at his fraternity, he could only season the cracker with a shot of of ol dusty.
- What a terrible day to have eyes

This guy is nuttier than squirrel shit. Total christofascist.

Besides banning porn, he wants to ban no-fault divorce, and ban abortion with no exceptions. He called COVID vaccines a"mark of the beast", called for the jailing of Fauci, and the virus was engineering by Bill Gates to decrease population.

- Didn't know that was a thing. Thanks!

That guy watches so much porn

I don't want to engage in slander, but just extrapolating from previous conservative projection, that guy has a 15 year-old Honduran boy chained in his laundry room.
- 15? A bit old for a guy like him, isn't he?
- 😞 I really hope not. That'd be so horrible, yet the possibility lingers.

i dont understand how things like this can even be pushed to begin with.

It's like banning a word because it makes you think of things that are somewhat unpleasant.

Oklahoma is not the entire US, thank you very much.

I can't believe it's men who want this law, it sounds like a feminist wet dream. Marriages are going to the rise, but at what cost? Who's benefiting and where's the money behind it?

In strict Islamic countries like pakistan, afganistan, yemen+ many middleeastern countries and some provinces in bangladish, india and so on.., men have 0 access to pussy; it's all illegal: no porn, no escorts, and no girlfriends are allowed, ( gay is not even an option on this list). so everyone gets married early, and there's hardly any grown person who is not, but these laws are miserable for men

I mean, SWERFs are a thing, but that they are a meaningful category is in major part because they don't represent mainline feminist thought.

Go to another state 🤷‍♂️

You're in the Poland of the US.
