Seriously. I’m never worried about this shit lmao I saw this law and was like oh sick less horrible stuff on the internet. If the automatic reaction to this is “omg the government could use this against me” look inward maybe 💀

This law could be used to criminalize the possession of material depicting lgbtq+ characters (“obscene” is a very broad label). Possession of an inappropriate drawing of a 17 year old anime character without knowing that character’s age could lead to arrest. If a high schooler doodled a stick figure of himself with a big dick that’s now illegal material.

It’s the way that you come up with these unrealistic and ridiculous scenarios that make me go 🤨🤨🤨

The types of drawings this law wants to give rid of are gross and shouldn’t exist, but 1. Are lines on a page of a fictional character and 2. Are too widespread on the internet for this to be implemented. You can’t put a law like this into place without widespread identification of the ages of characters, or without widespread removal of this content from social media platforms. Otherwise it’s just too widespread and difficult to identify.

You sound worried that this could happen to you. This would never happen to me which is why I’m not panicking over the law lmao

idk. I definitely see where you’re coming from, but teenagers do sometimes get convicted of CP distribution and have to register as sex offenders for sending selfies of *themselves*, which clearly isn’t the intent of those laws and we live in an era where laws are not read in good faith. I think for any particular individual it’s far fetched this would happen bc of some anime teen, but it just seems too vague to be good legislation

I’m trying to look up more about it and why am I just getting so many anime Reddit posts worried about their underage anime girls..

Because that’s who’s upset about this law 😭 it’s the weirdos who were already riding the line of legality. Regular people who only seek out adult sexual content aren’t stressing about this

Basically just did the “oh so you’re secretly terrorist then if you don’t like this law???” accusation. I avoid that shit because it’s gross and have never been to Texas. But you can’t expect the Texas government of all things to use this law only against people causing actual harm. It’s Texas, they very easily could use the broadest possible definition because they both hate lgbtq people and porn as a concept.

“I’m not a terrorist so I could never be arrested under the terrorist law. If you don’t like it you must be secretly a terrorist we should probably arrest you.” Nah man terrorism is bad but this is just a shittily written law with massive capacity to be misused.

It’s pretty straightforward imo. Because in court, they also have to prove the age of the individual drawn. And if it is as ambiguous as anime lover #1 claims it could be, then very often it wouldn’t be proven beyond a reasonable doubt and the case is thrown out. However, if you’re making content of a well known underage character, then yeah, you got caught. If you’re stressing, it’s an admission of guilt
