No, not because I think it's good stuff, but because policing porn to make sure it's properly upstanding and moral is some soccer mom Karen Republican shit. Were real children harmed in the making of it? It's CP, ban it. Imaginary children? I don't have to like it but I'm not gonna support the state sticking its nose into people's digital bedrooms.
Chuds and conservatives are the ones constantly invading everyone's lives to make sure they're living "properly" and "decently." I'd rather put faith in people to make their own decisions, even if those decisions are weird.
