| Jaicee said: I agree that it's been a healthy and robust debate here so far. As much doesn't change the fact that being alone on one side of the argument poses more work than being in the majority does. It's still more exhausting. It's all good though. I'm just saying. Anyway, speaking of ideals, an ideal world in my mind is one without money or rape and in which, therefore, phenomenon like prostitution would be impossible. You asked what legislative changes I'd propose around pornography. Actually a straight-up ban on it would be the ideal in my mind, though at this point I'm willing to settle for really any regulation of it at all, like requiring age verification, outlawing rape porn in particular, or anything like that. We're starting from a place of more or less completely unregulated proliferation, so just about anything would be an acceptable improvement over the status quo for my taste right now. |
While your ideal would be nice, I'd say its a little less realistic than mine xD Getting rid of money probably isn't going to happen any time soon haha.
As for your legislative changes, I don't think a straight-up ban is ever going to happen (and I don't really think it should as it would likely just push people to illegal channels and possibly trod on certain bits of free speech. Does this mean movies aren't allowed to show nudity? How exactly do we tread these lines?). Otherwise, I would certainly entertain ideas about outlawing rape porn and expanding laws against revenge porn, as well as some further regulation into the industry and production (though I'm not really sure what exists now or what further can/should be done. Admittedly, this isn't something I think about on a daily basis).
