The definition of obscenity necessitates a lack of "serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value."
This bill won't ban porn, it'll just make it all require a plot.
so ao3 is probably fine
This bill is part of Project 2025 and the aim is to make it illegal to be a trans person.
The end goal of project 2025 is to establish a Christian nationalist fascist government, strictly enforcing gender roles is just part of that
So said the Supreme Court; so, too, can that Court change its mind.
If porn becomes a political issue (because one political group is far more likely to support it's prohibition than others), then technically, couldn't it be argued that creating and sharing it has political value as a protest of the effort to ban it, and therefore that it has political value inherently?
This is a very fair point - my concern with the original definition is the word “serious”
I can see no fault in this logic.
If that's what you need to get there, no kink shame here.
There's already some good plotlines. My favorite is the Lemon Stealing Whore. Tier S writing there.
