Law Likely To Get Passed In Texas That Bans Explicit Images Of Underage Looking Drawings

Indirectly, @sterven's PFP brings up a good point - 'hey, that elf? She's 70. She looks 13 because that's how elves age.'

I really want to see the reaction on the judge's face the first time the defense brings that up.

Imagine being the defense lawyer that needs to explain what a loli-baba is to a bunch of 60 years old judges. Might the the peak of a career.

i envy you for this right. I had to jump through countless loops to get my guns and i still have to jump constantly to be allowed to keep them . . .

One of the best parts of being an American/Texan and I sure as shit don't take it for granted.

Do you guys know about New Jersey's laws when it comes to self defense? If you're in your own home and there's an intruder with a gun, you are required to flee your house, even if it's through a window. And if the intruder then chases after you, you still can't shoot them unless there's a 0% chance that you can get away. But even then, the police will probably still charge you with 1st degree murder.

I live in New Jersey. What's the point in owning a gun? You're not even allowed to shoot bears with it in self defense.

That has always astonished me the fact that criminals would have more of a right to your property than you yourself and the fact that even when you or god forbid your family are in danger you still can't defend yourself without ramifications.

Eyerolling so hard. I'm not even going to watch the click bait video. Also, I'm not in Texas.

The law in question. Which makes it a crime if an individual

From the Section referenced, said material would be something that

Not included: panty shots, bra shots. Also, note that, from a bit later in 43.21(a),

So I would think there's a fair bit of space to argue just under the 'patently offensive' banner.

Also note that the cops can't just grab your phone or break down your door and demand to see what you've been looking at - they're going to need a warrant. So there's going to have to be some reason to try and enforce this law to start with. Admittedly, if I owned a bookstore, there would probably be some material I might be more concerned about carrying if this law takes effect, but I'm not super concerned about my personal collection.

Finally, consider the number of characters who are at least 18 in manga/anime who are drawn exactly like characters under 18. Komi-san and her mother come to mind - literally the same character design with different haircuts. If all the characters look to be the same age, and some are certainly over 18 and some are certainly under, this entire exercise becomes so impossibly subjective that it's going to bog down in appeals going back and forth. Not sure that results in a favorable outcome, but there is the broader question of whether the courts really want to be in the business of adjudicating how old all the characters look. I suspect they don't.

Quick fix: All the characters will have huge breasts.

Enjoy. 💀😵😵‍💫🤣😂🤣😅🤣😂💀

Looks like this will head to SCOTUS. But then SCOTUS once said: "I know smut when I see it." This going to get so beat down. SCOTUS does not like vague definitions. Are they really trying to get ahead of AI Pedophile generated material, so badly they screw up any truly needed legislation in the future. Trust me it will be needed. AI is growing leaps and bounds, GAI is so close to coming into existence.

Texas is Not Alabama of course.

I believe there's another politician trying (and failing) to get the obscenity laws changed as well so they can ban porn. Mike Lee and Mary Miller introduced that Interstate Obscenity Definition Act which would get rid of the Supreme Court 3 part test for obscenity.

I don't think it'll go anywhere, but stranger things have happened this year already.

Texas did also just remove affirmative defense for educational, medical, psychological, psychiatric and legislative purpose when showing material to children that could be considered "obscene or harmful."

Meaning, you were protected from criminal charges if you could prove the materials were for one of those reasons. Now you're not.

I say good luck with that because art and artist expression such as anime/manga and such is still protected under the First Amendment and any signs to bring back the Obscenity Act will violate the First Amendment but thankfully all that thats been happening in texas is only reenforcing already existing law and doesn't actually apply to anime and manga but it doesn't mean we should be slack on it either, because these kinda people will do anything to force their religious christianity onto foreign art like anime and manga and destroy the fandom we care about.

Except thats not how it works and they would already be aware of what is "indistinguishable" or what is a "identifiable minor" and know characters in anime/manga whatever they look like are neither of the two and that anime or manga breaks no law and is protected under the First Amendment.

And i'm pretty sure the ai stuff thats ultra realistic or uses real humans to generate ai art is already illegal under law but i wouldn't pass the religious nutcases to try to thread anime/manga into it because they hate people enjoying fine anime art.

The necropost spammer?, i'm sorry bitch but the whole forums is pretty much dead and unless you want to make some new post back to being alive again this is the best you gonna get.

Also the only thread that even got a lot of traffic was mangadex unfairly removing a loli doujin because lets be real here no one really cares about posting anything on mangadex unless it DIRECTLY effects something they like, like their fav manga then other then that mangadex forums is pretty much one big fucking corpse party.

I live in Texas and all I can and will say is that if they want to come into my home to take my manga from my shelves then they best come armed didn't buy my AR and 12 gauge + my Kimber Custom II 1911 45acp for nothin

Stand up for your rights, though I think the over under of shooting (or even threatening to) at law enforcement tends to have the citizen on the losing side.
