Ah, the ol in haec verba Tarantino rule
But there's no such legislation or required identification for my kids to see graphic violence and gore. We're a pretty bass ackwards society.
ironic you self censored "ass backwards" on a comment calling out censorship.
they wrote ass backwards ass backwards. It's a joke, not self censorship.
Are there graphic gore and violence websites that kids are frequenting by the millions daily?
Why does scale matter? If it was only 50k kids daily would it change your mind?
Movies, books, and video games all have a decently sizeable amount, yea. Especially the Bible.
Movies already have ratings systems and age checks.
Books at book stores don’t generally have graphic violence and gore.
The bible is just text, there’s no gore or violence that kids can see.
What's funny is the Bible is worse than most of the books that are banned as far as depravity goes.
Movies already have ratings systems and age checks.
Lol.

You realize words still count right?
The bible is just text, there’s no gore or violence that kids can see.
I repeat the above.
No, words don’t count as graphic violence lol. Graphic violence is defined as being in visual media, not written.

...seriously? Go read The Boys or Chainsaw Man or Gantz
Nah bro didn't you see his other reply? Words aren't graphic in any way ever. It's in the word. Graphic. There's no graphics in books, it don't have a graphics card!
Am I the only one who beleives that it would have been a more effective arguement to try and use the 4th amendment instead of the 1st? Violating free speech is just a weak claim, but "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches..." seems quite relevent here. But I am also not a lawyer.
I thought they just stuck down the one in Tennessee? What the fuck. Sick of these corrupt courts.
