Or, in other words, in typical religious fundamentalist fashion, she's making up "evidence" to support her agenda of pushing for the USA to be a theocracy. In one interview she stated: We must protect our children from the dangers of pornography online the same way that we do in the physical world.
What danger? I'm being serious here. What danger? Seeing nude bodies? Okay, some people might find that offensive, but being "offended" does not imply "danger". People, us, human beings, do not have a right to go through life being "unoffended". Someone else's music, clothing, a slogan on a bumper sticker or a t-shirt, a poem, a book, an opinion, how they walk, talk, laugh, eat, what they eat, how they chew, how they dance, their hobbies...plus a billion other examples are things that someone, somewhere, will find "offensive", but that does not mean the other person or people should stop doing it, nor that it is a danger.
People used to say, decades ago (some credulous cretins probably still do), that porn would cause an increase in rape. The evidence proves otherwise. People used to say that porn would cause an increase in sex trafficking, the evidence proves otherwise. So...danger? People say that porn will cause sex or porn addiction. Problem with that is...there's no official diagnosis that either exists as a freestanding, all alone addiction. Sure, some people have addictions, to a lot of things, but that could be working out, dieting, TV, cigs, religion, sex, porn, comedy, food, drugs, video games etc...which shows an issue with the "person" not the product they are consuming, as...others have no issue with it nor are addicted to it. Some people drink alcohol, some do not. Some play video games, some do not. Some do too much of those examples, others control it, some abstain from those things entirely.
So, what we're really talking about here is...in most cases, conservative religious people finding porn objectionable based on their religious indoctrination, and...that's it. But rather than just admitting that, they rig studies, alter statistics, lie about science, biology and facts, to prove their point...which is not proof, as in scientific proof, but instead it's just nonsense. As in stupid nonsense...of the type that would be funny and laughable, if it were not for the fact that some of these lunatics have political power and create laws...that oppress other people, that censor free speech and that violate the 1st Amendment. I've said this many times before, I don't really watch porn, never really did. I have some home movies that would be considered "pornographic" by some peoples standards, which I do for fun. So my rant on this topic is not about my desire to watch porn...I just hate any powertripping motherfuckers telling other people what they can and can not watch, and making up lies that it's about "protecting" children. Seeing some tits and ass never hurt a kid, ever. Seeing endless violence might...and being brainwashed by religion...certainly does. So, in conclusion...fuck 'em. :)
