the stupidity of the authoritarian Australian government never ends.
Boy howdy, I sure do love a law with enforcement standards such as "generally accepted by reasonable adults", really let's you know the exact scope and limitations of the law.
Is there any first world country that's not seeing how quickly they can speedrun into a 'morality' virtue spiral?
Oh boy wasn't long ago when they went after hentai because drawings = children.
Now the slippery slope slides some more and they take away the porn in general.
What next, they'll ban entertainment because it is distracting people who should be working for the state 24/7?
It keeps happening.
I'm guessing middle age women in positions of power. The same demographic that was pushing that video games cause violence or/and misogyny.
What makes you think we had any say in this?
Ditto
China has definitely a great influence there, economically and politically. But I don't think that's the real reason here. it's probably just boomers making stupid laws.
So a question, is adult products banned in China or does it only decreases your social credit score?
If the latter then somefuckinghow Poohland is more free than Australia since you can just game the system by shilling for their shitty government online in a few posts and then you can use those good boy points to get a fleshlight or something.
In China you're just a plaything for government officials. You fine until your organs are harvested.
Same with every place destroyed by leftism: California.
Have these idiots not heard of the internet?
They are asking for a massive bootleg market.
dunno how you can make a bootleg fleshlight or get one over the internet.
Read a thread on /k/ about an emergency one you can make with water, cornstarch, a microwave, and a tube. OP also stated it doubled as emergency calories, if you got really desperate.
I use it and wait for fermentation before eating.
One of the endings of the anime Shimoneta did an entire tutorial on how to make one from kitchen ingredients.
there are.... instructional videos
So they can't get physical goods but they can still get digital goods. Fairly stupid shit in my opinion.
They are working on that part.
their next project: The Great Firewall of Austrialia.
I mean China already owns land and probably the pockets of some politicians.
How ... Victorian of them.
We arent any vetter than Islam it seems.
I wonder if the order specifies what an "adult product" is. Could a customs agent seize alcohol (aka adult beverages)? How about adult diapers? Software used to do your taxes? Supplies used for home improvement?
So I can't buy a middle-eastern "refugee" anymore?
Bummer...
I'm so fucking glad I learnt Japanese. I can get the Japanese product without relying on physical import. Being in Australia is most boring experience you could have when you are into geeky hobbies.
Chipping away men's escapism & pleasure in to an attempt to force them in to fucking the disgusting hogs they call females?
Oh boy, can't wait to see how surprised they'll be and what they'll try to ban when depressed men rather kill themselves than deal with women.
