This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

And ANON doesn’t understand how to use a VPN?

If they knew that, they wouldn't have made the post

The whole porn ban thing is probably my all-time favorite example of conservatives voting against themselves.

Meanwhile, in California, I can watch all the porn I want without registering myself in a database and walk down the street to the weed store. And the women in my life still have rights over their own bodies.

So I guess Democrats are actually the party of freedom.

Yeah but could you imagine voting for them?

This is a great opportunity to learn how to use a VPN! I'm in a blue state so haven't needed one yet, but the time is definitely coming.

The privacy and security issues of this are pretty obvious. However I do think that the easy accessibility and ubiquity of porn and highly sexualized content for children and tweens is a serious problem that people who make fun of porn restriction efforts fail to address or even acknowledge.

Certainly a lot of the responsibility falls on guardians, but it's hard to moderate when you're up against the giant machines of social media. They need help to limit exposure. And this isn't some prudish "oh no protect the children from the titty and the peen" attitude. I don't think most people feel comfortable with the idea of 10-year olds sharing videos of aggressive gang banging or throat fucking like it's a normal thing. And obviously this isn't exclusive to porn. Plenty of explicit and gruesomely violent content out there to be worried about. But the internet footprint of porn dwarfs everything else put together.

Why is it everyone's problem that parents can't figure out that their kids shouldn't have unlimited unrestricted access to the internet? They know not to let their children loose on the Las Vegas strip, why can't they apply the same logic to the internet? I don't agree with 10 year olds looking at porn even slightly but also it's not my problem. I'm tired of the world making everything child friendly. I don't have kids for a reason and if I want to watch Human Centipede 1-4 while blasting hardcore dwarf deepthroat gangbang porn then that's my prerogative.

Lol I saw Lemmings celebrate Australia's Ban of Teenagers from social media, then simultaneously criticize this lol 🤣

Easy solution! Just make a profile before the photo verification was implemented

You are a fool to consent to this.

It's going to suck when they outlaw VPNs

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

VPN bans are my red line where I start putting all my time and money into getting citizenship elsewhere.

Will porn be the straw that broke the mountain's back?

MAGA Republicans: will riot if you give them a Facebook event invite

Democrats: let's see, maybe they will riot if you take their houses or something. At least they might write a strongly worded comment

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's because the Republicans usually have the police either directly on their side, or at least sympathetic to them.

Look at the police response across the country to BLM protests a few years ago.

And it's not like left wingers in the country don't do extreme action. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitol_Hill_Occupied_Protest

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I did say democrats, not far left. And I did compare them to a far right group, not the reasonable non GOP Republicans

Me: This is America.

Pornhub: This content is not available in your state due to ID verification legislation.

My VPN: This is Germany.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 month ago (1 children)

My favorite small example of this is trying to watch a video on YouTube. If my VPN is set to United States then im told 'You can't watch this unless you log in.'

I switch to Germany and like magic the video plays. So clearly they didn't need to confirm I wasn't a bot. They just wanted to track my viewing habits.
