[GM Team Member and Senator WB]

1) you forgot a word for the bill title for the thread name

2) while i absolutely find this s**t weird (pun intended) I don’t think that warrants making it illegal. May as well ban BRTD’s foot fetish stuff too.

All this does is waste our law enforcement and justice system’s time when that effort could be used to stop actual violent crime and the like.

[Pyro]

I concur with Senator WB. This bill failed last time, and for good reason.

As then-Senator DKrol argued in the original debate on this topic, there is no fundamental harm being done either to individuals or society by such materials simply existing. Limiting or prohibiting pornographic materials involving consenting adults, however strange or unpleasant it may be, is not the government's business.

[RFayette]

This bill is designed to promote the public health of Atlasia by prohibiting greedy, immoral capitalists from commercially creating and spreading a specific type of obscenity targeted at the mentally ill to the detriment of society. Eating poop is a serious mental illness and can lead to the spread of parasites and monkeypox. This is a narrow category of obscenity that has no redeeming value, it is perfectly legal to prohibit commerce in it, prohibiting commerce in it promotes the public health, and zero people are harmed. One had to wonder what is in the browser history of any Senator who opposes this bill.

It's a genuine threat to public health.

Are you seriously delusional enough to believe it's not?
