"I'm not a Christian, but here's a film from a Christian group that I fully endorse, and want you all to watch!" :xrolleyes
Poem: what was the point of linking to this film? Are you advocating porn?
 
It's noteworthy that nobody is engaging with the substance of the film.

Assuming the rise in rapes in the UK is real and not an artifact of reporting changes, do you have evidence that porn is a significant contributor? Because I can think of other possible factors. For example, with the whole grooming gangs scandal, I don't recall hearing anything about porn being a factor. But I do recall another politically inconvenient factor at play: immigrants from Muslim countries.

In other words, the UK seems to have imported actual rape culture from countries where rape culture means actual rape.

Remains undemonstrated.
 
The film states:
The fictional depiction of minors in pornography is illegal in most countries

And yet, as noted a number of times previously, such depictions are rife on mainstream porn sites (Barnardos). It's clear that society is normalizing and trivializing what is illegal in most countries. That's rape culture.

The First Amendment, as interpreted by the Supreme Court, is not fit for purpose.

Leaving aside the issue of a rather expansive definition of sexualizing children (putting a stuffed animal in the hands of a clearly adult porn actress doesn't actually make them look like a child), this conclusion is not in any way demonstrated. It looks to me much akin to the whole "video games cause violence" claims that ambulance-chasing lawyers pushed for a quick buck but which fell apart upon scrutiny.

You got this wrong.

This poster continues to struggle to make a substantive and relevant point.

A Christian activist takes it upon himself to collect and edit images of (simulated) sexual abuse, incest, and sexual assault.

How much you want to bet he's kept un-blurred copies for his personal archives?

An ad hominem.
 
How many are complicit in propagating this? Nina Hartley admits she “needed the work that week”

Then the solution is simple. Conquer the U.S., declare yourself Führer, and abolish the First Amendment. Then you can enact whatever tyrannical censorship laws your authoritarian heart desires.

For my part, I sincerely hope anyone attempting such would be promptly and efficiently killed by our national defense forces.

The only conquering and tyranny that is actually going on is porn and the type of material featured in the Nolot film - available in countries that ban it.

If you want to make a serious point about the documentary then go ahead.

Why talk about a documentary? I'm talking about your expressed desire to overrule or replace or disregard the First Amendment. That's tyranny, and it's a point that you yourself have chosen to raise, and that's much more important to me as a U.S. citizen than my opinion about some documentary or your opinion about law enforcement effectiveness in other countries.

It was the Supreme Court that upheld a lower court's decision that the CPPA violated free speech - leading to the sort of porn featured in the documentary. But, of course, the real problem is world-wide societal demand.

You appear to be drunk on protecting such free speech; even when it leads to very, very bad outcomes.
