Just so everyone is aware of where I stand, fuck ICE, fuck the people backing them and emboldening them, fuck this administration and fuck anyone who tries to defend their actions or chooses to still support them

If this upsets you and you think I give a shit about how you feel, here's your answer:

True. Though the feds forced Michael, Trevor, and Franklin to do that. Trevor wasn't exactly against it though.

How the fuck can you play GTA, especially GTA V, and come away thinking feds are the good guys?

They won't what? Again, they have a minority and so would need Republicans to vote with them to anything about what's going on

What do you think congress can do right now? Dems have a minority and Republicans are not going to go against Trump and ICE.

Okay, maybe I'm not being clear. Specifically, live action porn. Say, a video. How are they to determine whether it's CNC kink or an actual assault on camera? How are they to prevent actual, real assaults from being posted under an "extreme" or "CNC" label?

As far as images and videos of real people, there doesn't seem to be a good solution for preventing actual non-consent from being posted without harming sex workers and kink artists.

That doesn't answer the question. In fact, that would make it easier for actual non-consent to slip through. There doesn't seem to be a good solution, honestly.

So, what are they to do? No protections, non-consensual porn is only removed if the victim reports it?

I don't know, honestly. It does feel silly going as far as banning art, but I can see the need for some protections.

As for the CNC thing, how are they supposed to determine if something is CNC or actual non-consent? To me, this feels like going overboard to prevent anything from slipping through.

I mean, if a character looks distressed or fearful and has tears streaming down their face that's a pretty good indicator

Remember. Shut the fuck up.

This was always true before, but even more so now with a government that is just ITCHING to arrest anyone it can for anything.

Shut. The. Fuck. Up.

THIS!

This is the kind of narrative that democrats should push for right now.

Not just say "violence is bad, m'kay?"

But expose how the ramp up in political violence in the USA has been a DIRECT CONSEQUENCE of Trump's rhetoric.

He's normalized being violent to opponents.

plus you piss them off more when you obey decorum, they jump up and down on their desks to get you to say something incriminating, hold the line

if that news is true, don't say anything you wouldn't want to see screenshotted and spread all over right wing media

You can point out what can be improved without being a dick to developers. It's really not hard.

As much as you may want to believe it, you can't tell by looking. This will just result in cis women who aren't traditionally feminine enough to be harassed and jailed.

Men already couldn't do that.

This doesn't protect women. In fact, it hurts cisgender women just as much as it hurts trans people.

No. No they're not.

I think it's pretty understandable, actually. You're not an anti-semite so you don't look at a hook nosed goblin creature and go "that's a Jewish person". That's part of what makes it a dogwhistle.

We're also talking about legislators who already said they wouldn't vote for this bill. It is entirely possible to nudge them back. Stop with the doomerism.

Yeah, but with weed being legal now, dealers are less of a thing. Why find a dealer and take that risk when you can just go to the store?

He's trying to buy time for enough Republicans to be convinced to vote no. You can see higher up in the thread that other people in congress are pushing for the people to call their representatives and urge them to vote no.

I think you need to be 21 to buy weed legally. That doesn't justify huffing keyboard duster, but might be why teenagers are doing it.

Oh I do have sympathy for the people that don't vote for what's happening.

It's hard to feel sympathy for them after years and years of them doing this to themselves.

This is true. However, we're talking about people who vote for the party that tells them to their face "we're going to take away your health insurance, defund your hospitals, cut grants to your farms, and blame the drug problems on immigrants." over and over again.
