@rahaeli.bsky.social Sorry to bother you, but I’m curious if you have any thoughts on this.

Thank you for taking the time to answer. I’m not a lolicon but I have OCD and the vagueness of obscenity law drives me up a wall. I’m always worried I’m going to save nsfw of the wrong character someday and get locked away for life.

Do you mind if I ask if character background plays a role in convictions at all? Like we know the 1,000-year-old loli isn’t safe, but what about mature-looking characters who are canonically under 18? Are backstories completely irrelevant or do they only count if they can hurt your case?

There is no mention of obscenity being unprotected by the first amendment in the constitution, its a completely made up exception that you can only truly know if you broke if the state drags you in front of a jury for it. It is draconian and a blatant cudgel of government control.

Obscenity law as it is has always been a blatant violation of the constitution because of our first amendment rights and its unfollowable definition. I am sick of having it swing over our heads like the sword of Damocles, ready to fall and impale us at any moment without warning.

Stand against censorship

Oppose KOSA, IODA, the SCREEN act, Texas SB 20

I want obscenity scrapped at the national level, but we are stuck with these corrupt christofascist judges for the rest of our lives and they are never going to do shit about it. It makes me furious how little there is that we can do to fight it.

Personally I think obscenity law in its entirety should be deemed unconstitutional. How are you supposed to be able to follow a law if the only way to know if something violates it is if you get dragged into a court for it?

I have been screaming about this but its hard to defend this without people accusing you of being a sex criminal. I want to call my representatives more but my anxiety makes me think I will be put on a list if I speak out. Is there ANYONE left still fighting this outside of a petition?
