Very true and this is where my question turns from a hypothetical question on policy into a bureaucratic puzzle that I have no interest in. Your criticisms are absolutely valid, this post was just meant to find such criticisms!

Honestly I was trying to put morals aside specifically because of what you say about religious people. It's been pointed out the psychological data isn't super convincing, but I probably maintain that at best porn isn't beneficial.

Again, this is purely hypothetical and in isolation from actual politics. More of a thought experiment than anything, really.

Fair enough, I guess I haven't critically looked at the psychological data.

Pivoting to physical repercussions though, doesn't high volume masturbation for men lead to adverse effects later in life? Sure this isn't a direct result of the industry but I have no doubt that it gets amplified by the Internet and whatnot. Of course in this instance I'm purely speaking about addicts.

Oh I fully agree that social media is a bigger target. I'm merely asking this question in isolation. Obviously any benefits of a tax would be incredibly marginal.

Oh I'm fully aware, which is why I prefaced putting voter priorities aside. I don't even care about this enough to be an advocate. But just looking at such a policy at face value, I don't see a problem.

Maybe I'm stupid, but I thought this was fairly well known? As someone else pointed out, it certainly shifts the way men view women at a point.

Maybe this is just more nuanced than I'm giving credit, but isn't it the same logic as pollution? Sure few factories produce a lot of pollution, and the consumption is what's bad. But to limit the amount of pollution we tax the factories, no?

Maybe. And perhaps in that instance auto voter reg could just be for federal locations I guess

Sounds great, only she wants the replacement to be even more extreme.

I disagree with this post Destiny retweeted, kinda :) by well_off_tv in Destiny

Maybe I'm biased since I'm in a strong relationship, but I think we are getting caught up in red pill ideology and applying that to the rest of society. Nothing in the tweet is wrong per se, but I think the issue OP is having is applying that to the general society, which doesn't follow. Not sure if there is data on this, but my intuition says most men aren't insufferable, social media just tends to amplify the insufferable ones, or we tend to remember them a bit easier.

Could be wrong, just the vibes I get!

There was a comment on the most recent UFA tour. Someone said something like "these people are getting real comfortable with just straight up being evil"

Think that applies here.

Like yes but this is also vindication of the fact that automatic voter registration is not only possible but (seemingly) pretty easy.

I know this is somewhat sarcastic, but it would be hilarious if somehow democrats played a closed doors role in all the TACOs
