Religion is the source of that nonsense. Help bring it down any legal way possible. Ridicule it, expose it, help people realise it's just a bunch of fairytales, most often useless and sometimes actually damaging.
- jimmygrapes 2y agoSounds like a very religious way to handle your issues
- cynicalsecurity 2y agoYour are correct. Religion taught me this. So why not let it backfire on them.
- smsm42 2y agoYes, when they famously declared "there's no sex in USSR" it was because USSR was a theocracy.
- cynicalsecurity 2y agoCommunism was a religion.
- redmajor12 2y agoAs much as science is a religion.
- smsm42 2y agoSo, you extend the definition of a religion to "everything a lot of people support" and then declare that it needs to be "brought down". How does it work for you - you plan to ban people from agreeing on anything, and thus enshrine world peace?
- Dracophoenix 2y agoThere are plenty of feminists that are as militantly atheistic as they are militantly anti-pornography/prostitution/female nudity. The modern Moral Majority isn't just composed of religionists anymore.
- Workaccount2 2y agoI would have to pick my jaw up off the floor if militant feminists composed even 2% of the general population.
- IG_Semmelweiss 2y agoyou are right in calling out these people are a tiny portion of the population, yet here in 2024, their numbers don't seem to matter... as they have been wildly successful in moving the overton window In summary, they are a tiny % , but by no means insignificant in terms of impact.
- dialup_sounds 2y agoJust to calibrate your sense of scale: 1% of the United States population is still 3 million people.
- smsm42 2y agoIt's not a head poll, it's who has influence. One NYT columnist has more influence on the politics of the society than 1000 people in rural Appalachia. Influence is not distributed equally, it's very heavily skewed.
- creer 2y agoMoral majority or vocal majority?
- Dracophoenix 2y agoMy phrasing was made in reference to the political movement largely associated with Jerry Falwell. Despite the name, the movement never lived up to either aspects of it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_Majority https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_Majority
- jimbob45 2y agoOkay but would you want your ads on a porn site if the business was yours? That makes it seem like you approve of that behavior (e.g. drug use, gore, etc).
- tail_exchange 2y agoWhat does porn have to do with drug use and gore?
- creer 2y agoIt makes you approve nothing, but for sure in the US it makes you a target for the vocal moralists. Leading to boycots (which might kill you), dubious free publicity (which you might feel is worth it or not), and extra regulation (which might kill you).
- HeatrayEnjoyer 2y agoWhere did pharmaceuticals and gore come into this?
- flembat 2y agoThere are valid social reasons for rejecting the cheap manipulation of people using addictive visual patterns that have nothing to do with religion but do relate to ethics. Even if no humans are hurt in the creation of the content, humans can be harmed by its addictive consumption.
