Like another poster said, this seems like more overpolicing to not get caught up by sesta/fosta. The site gives off a bunch of pornography red flags between its phrasing in the copy, and the fact that all of its teachers appear to be models and not just physically fit humans. If this government was willing to go after my business for supporting pornography, and I had to decide if this site would fall under the government's definition(I know it when I see it[1]), this would be a zero hesitation decision to bin as porn.
edit: adding on to their porn flags, their main splash page updates the image everytime you navigate to it. It appears to be entirely comprised of images of the top half of their female models showing neither their male models or any full yoga poses. This is the kind of tongue in cheek "were totally not engaging in that behavior you said wasn't allowed" setup that isn't going to convince the government you're regular non porn content

- tshaddox 4y agoI can’t imagine saying with a straight face that the legality of nude videos would depend on how attractive (according to some standard) the people in the videos are.
- lovich 4y agoNot exactly a new concept in law. Take pornography out of it and look at businesses like hooters who can require their waitresses to be attractive to because they are hiring “models” and not regular actors. Their level of attractiveness is explicitly changing the laws involved. If it’s problematic for you take it up with the courts, these sorts of things were decided long before I was born
- tshaddox 4y agoYour example isn’t at all analogous. Being a waiter doesn’t suddenly become illegal if you’re too attractive.
- lovich 4y agoI don't think we have worldviews that overlap well enough to discuss this then. If you cant see where the logic is coming from, regardless of if you agree with the logic, then I can only point you towards the governments definition of obscenity I linked in my first comment and suggest you read on the legal theory from there.
- tshaddox 4y agoThis seems more like a disagreement about the basic meanings of words, not anything about worldview. In what way is this Hooters employment issue at all similar to this naked yoga issue?
