 genrtone | Right, but banning imports on cultural grounds strikes me as an ultra-right thing to do. | 17:48:49 |
| genrtone | Although, hmm... Maybe I'm actually conflating libertarians and conservatives here. | 17:50:26 |
| genrtone | It's just that most "right" parties have more libertarian DNA than the Australian ruling party, perhaps. | 17:51:00 |
| genrtone | Thinking in terms of this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nolan_Chart | 17:51:31 |
| genrtone | Like, I wouldn't expect the US Republicans to ban hentai imports | 17:53:08 |
| genrtone | That would be incredibly surprising to me | 17:53:14 |
| genrtone | Although I guess that did happen to TikTok, so dunno. | 17:59:06 |

Like, I wouldn't expect the US Republicans to ban hentai imports The republicans of 20 years ago absolutely would have if it was popular at the time. At the moment you'd have to worry more about the democrats. It'd be a different reason for banning it, but the outcome is the same | 23:33:02 |
| ecmuller | The aussies are a bit weird when it comes to porn stuff anyway. They were mocked for banning porn featuring adults with small breasts years ago | 23:33:46 |
| ecmuller | Generally any group banning things for moralistic reasons ends up looking really silly later | 23:34:51 |
| ecmuller | Like I'm glad the violent video game debate is basically buried, aside from trump briefly bringing it up and being made fun of for it (by the same people that were cheering for it years earlier) | 23:35:52 |
| ecmuller | IIRC australia has a weird thing with their content review board. Which is partly why video games release like 6 months later there than everywhere else, and they cost twice as much | 23:39:37 |
| ecmuller | probably hentai would go through the same review, and they figure it's not worth doing the review | 23:40:14 |
| ecmuller | I follow aussie politics off and on, because it's basically the same train wreck that american politics is, except if you replaced all the professional image conscious politicians with internet trolls | 23:43:40 |
