Studies have shown that in places where porn is blocked, rape occurs at higher frequencies than in places where that is not the case, possibly due to higher levels of feelings of frustration and repression. This may be only one website now, but if others likewise follow the trend out of fear of litigation... then Texas may become a much more dangerous state to live in in the very near future, even compared to what it already is now.

More dangerous? You mean the amount of firearms littered throughout the damn state aren’t bad enough?

That's... not just a Texas thing, and yeah, bc saturation may have long been passed on that one, so this is newer territory to expand authoritarianism into.

As in, it was dangerous, but a look at its next door neighbor Mississippi should convince anyone that it can always become more so.
