Debate on this bill is now open.

[Mr. Reactionary]

So if Ive read this right, it clarifies the penalties for interstate crimes relating to:

Bestiality, necrophilia, incest, intentional STD infection, sexual abuse of a minor (including child marriage), sexual violence, revenge porn and other nonconsensual porn including deepfakes, non-medically necessary abortions after 20 weeks, and sex toys related to the above.

Very comprehensive. Im glad this is narrowly tailored at only degenerate stuff. Im not sure any of this stuff is defensible in any way so it makes sense to clarify its all not allowed.

[Mr. Reactionary]

24 hours to object to the amendment.

[Mr. Reactionary]

Whats CNC?

[Mr. Reactionary]

Sounds gross and degenerate. Any chance of you dropping that part in exchange for the rest?

[Mr. Reactionary]

Proposed Amendment. 24 hours to object. Its Weatherboys proposal minus the rape porn stuff. As with child sex dolls I do not believe it prevents rape and arguably encourages it. I dont think rape is defensible or something that contributes to society. Keep in mind this is specifically about obscenity so it doesnt affect tv or movie actors, its specifically about obscenity AKA fap material. Rape porn is bad for society and narrowly proscribing it does not seem overly burdemsome. This bill is only looking at the worst of the worst and stuff that is constitutional to limit.

[Mr. Reactionary]

So be it. I object.

I will open the amendment vote in a bit.

[Mr. Reactionary]

Sorry, fell asleep unexpectedly last night.

My amendment passes.

Vote on the Weatherboy amendment is now open for 48 hours or until everyone votes whichever occurs soonest. Please vote Aye, Nay, and Abstain.


I had a few messages yesterday from Senators who were confused about which amendment was being considered on the other LT bill. To clarify, this is the entire amendment being voted on here. Its just the rape porn stuff.

...

5. 6.This act shall take effect ten (10) days from the date of passage.

[Mr. Reactionary]

Nay

[Mr. Reactionary]

I do wish not to be threatened by votes I made personally and in private. That is not how democracy works.

Laki.

[Mr. Reactionary]

24 hours to object to I believe the 2? Laki Amendments.

[Mr. Reactionary]

Starting from Mr. R's approved parts of WB's amendment, i want to request the following amendment:

1. Re-arranging the order in a less confusing ones (toy parts after the other parts)
2. Changing legality of sexual contact with a minor from 2 years to 5 years (for sexual abuse of a minor)
3. Removing incest

Snip

I would approve of this amendment except for #2. I believe it is important to maintain the two year age difference limit for 18 year olds since the age of consent in many states IRL is 16, not 13.

I accept your request (and remove that change from the proposed amendment).

But I want to open the discussion, given i think

1. Age of consent at the age of 16 is maybe a tad too high (is it 16 in Atlasia?). If so, i want to lower that.

2. I personally think someone at the age of 16 should be able to have sex up to someone of 21 years old, tho someone of 13 y/o having sex with someone having sex of 18 year olds is indeed weird, so what I would propose

1. No major is allowed to have sex with people below the age of 16 y/o in any circumstances
2. People of 16-17 y/o would have the difference of 5 years applied to them

No lie, this compromise was what i just ironed out with a coworker.

[Mr. Reactionary]

Ok, I offer this amendment which I believe is the compromise ideas on the topic of sex with children. 24 hours to object.

...

sexual abuse of a minor means, with or without finance consideration:

A. as an adult, engaging in sexual contact with a minor child younger than sixteen (16) years of age or more than two (2) five (5) years their junior; or marrying a minor child; or violating the statutory rape or marriage laws of the Region in which such sexual contact or marriage occurs;

...

[Mr. Reactionary]

Ok since the previous 2 amendments relating to sex with children from Laki have been withdrawn in lieu of my amendment, I believe that only leaves 2 Laki amendments: Incest and intentionally infecting someone with an STD, as amended by the Reactionary Amendment.

Just to make sure we have consensus, I object to both. After the amendment we are currently voting on (Rape Porn) concludes we can vote on the 2 Laki amendments individually and concurrently, with the text of each clearly labeled.

[Mr. Reactionary]

if we're going to go back on forth on the age of consent, should we add in some form of romeo and juliet law?

Is that child marriage?

[Mr. Reactionary]

if we're going to go back on forth on the age of consent, should we add in some form of romeo and juliet law?

Is that child marriage?

It's making things more flexible for two under-18 teens in a relationship. SC has a form of it. If the other person is under 18 it's ok down to 14 years old, otherwise it's 16 for Age of Consent.

I dont think we need to worry about this then. The prohibition in this bill is if an adult (18 or older) travels in interstate or foreign commerce to marry a minor. 2 minors getting married wouldnt be explicitly prohibited by this law and would be up to the marriage laws of the Region. Again, this bill is solely about 1 adult + 1 child marriage (David Koresh/Courtney Stodden situations)

Should’ve made this more obvious but Romeo and Juliet laws are just about sex not marriage

Same thing though, child on child sex is not affected by this bill.

[Mr. Reactionary]

My amendment is adopted btw.

[Mr. Reactionary]

vote should've closed a while ago but for the PPT's pleasure I have compiled the votes, my amendment fails 5-7-3-3 (Aye-Nay-Abs/Present-NV). This is unofficial of course since I am not the PPT.

My bad. It got buried with all the final votes.

Amendment fails 5-7-3-3.

I will do the other amendments momentarily.

[Mr. Reactionary]

Ok, an amendment vote is now open on the two Laki amendments included below with labels. Vote shall last until noon eastern on Friday. Please vote Aye, Nay, or Abstain on each of the two amendments.
