weird how the state that claims ultimate patriotism and likes to talk about 'muh freedoms' and all those 'dont tread on me' flags spends so much of its purposefully, very limited legislature time taking away peoples rights.

'patriotic'

It's about their freedom to impair yours. That's religious conservatism 101

Luke 10:19 Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.

Tread all you want, Bible says so.

Freedom to raise their children without porn.

Supervise your kid while they're on the internet. Install nanny filters on their phone and computer. Monitor who they hang out with. If you can't handle raising your kid, you should have thought of that before having them.

They don't have much choice in having kids in Texas 😂

Sure they do. Just don't have sex. Then you won't have kids and won't have to worry about them seeing porn on the internet.

It's simple, if you're not responsible enough to keep your kid off PornHub, you're not responsible enough to have sex. =P

I don't like my children watching anything violent, so you can't watch action movies anymore

My aunt is allergic to peanuts, so you can't eat them anymore

My uncle is racist, so you can't be black anymore

Where does it end?

You vote for dipshits, you have to subscribe to a vpn service to whack off. It's the circle of life.

The initial pitch will require ID to access porn but then it'll branch out to any site that hosts NSFW content. Before you know it, every website you access will end up having your internet activities directly tied to you via your ID, and they can further use that data to train whatever models they got cookin up next.

If people think porn is too "accessible", look up New York Time's Square in the 70s and early 80s. The whole town was practically porn central.

I'm an engineer but I really want to be a world famous pornographer or pornstar.

Just do it!

I want to! But it just doesn't pay enough. I'm going to have to turn to directing high quality porn when I'm in my 60s. Probably remote work. Meanwhile I need to keep sharpening my directing skills by watching proper examples and analyzing them.

There will be a lot of sexually-frustrated violence happening in Yexas within the next week or two.

I only go to pornhub as a last resort, plenty of other better porn sites out there.

All porn is bad.

All people who think porn is bad are bad. They are projecting their own unhealthy suppressed sexualities onto others because of the shame they associate with their own sexuality

I can only assume hundreds of thousands of mostly young female actresses rely on pornhub for their income stream. And people think Republicans don't have a women problem.

Porn is unhealthy and parents have a tough time raising their children without early exposure.

The rest of us shouldn't have our freedoms restricted because of irresponsible parenting. You'd think people who place such a premium on personal responsibility wouldn't need the government to help them raise their kids.

Porn is normal and healthy and has been around since before humans had language.

Jerking off may make you as a parent feel uncomfortable but that does not make porn unhealthy.

Plenty of unhealthy things we don't age restrict. Although I look at porn more than I eat hamburgers nobody would stop me from eating one every day, and I'll be dead from eating hamburgers way before I die of porn.
