Masturbation is genocide™ and Mark Robinson would never genocide. Ever. The Democrats genocide all the time and it’s not Mark Robinson who does it. Vote Mark Robinson on November 31st and make sure masturbation-genocide doesn’t take over this country like liberals.
stop giving them ide…
well, actually this is pretty bad. carry on.
Sorry, I am not from the US. So this guy consumed porn. And what? Relax people!
Might sound weird to prude people, but most politicians had sex before! Some may have kinks! Why do people care about other people’s sex life, if they aren’t attracted to them?
And what has this to do with a community called politics? I don’t get it.
Edit: wow, many replies! Thank you all for educating. If this man is saying people shouldn’t consume porn, then yes, you are all right and it’s a controversy that makes sense to shine some light on. I didn’t think about that.
Robinson is a far right, born again Christian culture warrior. This is newsworthy because it’s extremely hypocritical of him.
But Robinson has used the word “pornography” to describe everything from music and network television to LGBTQ-themed children’s books. During this year’s N.C. Republican Party Convention, for example, Robinson called public school teachers and administrators “all-powerful bureaucrats … who believe it’s OK to feed your children a steady diet of communism and pornography.”
Not that hypocrisy is new to Robinson. He also said
after having paid for his wife’s abortion.
He has said that trans women should be
He has also said that “some people just need killing” in a speech where he railed against a variety of evil people including rapists, liberals, socialists and communists.
He is thoroughly a piece of shit, and unfortunately there’s a chance he’ll be the governor of North Carolina. With an extremely Republican state legislature (currently a supermajority), he would be able to make life miserable for a lot of people.
He has said that trans women should be
What are the odds he’s also against “public indecency acts” like peeing in public and would gladly have them strung up for what they’re doing to children’s poor innocent widdle eyes?
Still, people shouldn’t be downvoting sinkingship for the first thing that should come to mind. Because generally, who cares?
The hypocrisy and context needs to be here for this to be a story.
For anyone familiar with US politics, him being a hypocritical weirdo pervert is the first thing most of us think of.
For people like sinkingship this is strange and baffling. For the rest of us, it’s Wednesday.
Also, the context is in the subhead and the beginning of the article…
he’s a bible spouting, socially controlling, christian fundmentalist who has abhorrent ideas on virtually every point of human concern.
I think the hypocrisy of his personal vs public persona is relevant.
whether this issue is of any real importance is debatable, but us politics is usually pure toxic poison, so it may have a small effect on the state election.
I know nothing about this specific person. But the American Republican party is on a bit of a hypocritical purity crusade. They claim that porn is bad. They are the ones getting all worked up about other peoples sexual life, because it somehow affects the sanctity of their marriage.
So this article is pointing out his hypocrisy. He is doing something wrong by his own standards, so what room does he have to try to make laws about his stupid beliefs when he doesn’t even follow them himself.
So, the scandal isn’t that he does it, it’s that he is extremely vocally against it and legislates against it. The “gotcha” isn’t shaming him for enjoying himself, it’s scolding him for demonizing natural behavior while doing it himself.
Nobody would give a single flying fuck what he did if he minded his own goddam business.
Thank you, I didn’t consider that he himself could have politicized sexuality first.
In that case it sounds more like a “rules for thee, but not for me” thing, which makes perfectly sense to point out!
It’s like that, but even worse. This fuckwit uses the culture war to stoke violence and hate. He wields it as a fascist weapon.
So it’s a bit more nefarious than simply being a hypocrite.
Yeah, that’s exactly what this is about. The American Republican Party has been on a sexual purity crusade since I was a kid (they made REAL hay out of Clinton getting his knob waxed in the '90s), and they’re all about making sex dirty and controllable by the Government.
Welcome to the US where everything is politicized. You’re right it shouldn’t matter but he comes from a political party that shames any form of sex outside of a married man and woman. They’re already trying to make porn illigal but many of them, including my parents, would make masturbation illegal too if they could.
Not only married man and woman, but no condoms or pulling out, etc. They want you having lots of kids so you can continue being poor and the next generation has enough people so they don’t have to raise wages, benefits, or retirement.
You’re absolutely correct.
This is pointing out the hypocrisy of a member of the Biblical prude party buying sex toys.
Not exactly ------ no one really buys enough sex toys to become a 'known regular ’ in a sexshop
For-sure he was known to so many staff because he was regularly visiting the ‘video booths’ area, which generally have gloryholes or other forms of public, anonymous sex.
Chances are very high this guy was giving and/or getting blowjobs to/from strangers every weekend
The religious right in the US believes that watching porn is the same thing as cheating on your wife
That’s not the problem. The problem (I’m not looking him specifically up) is that many GOP are anti porn, anti gay, anti sex outside marriage, anti sex education, and many of us think they are anti contraception.
Sorry, I am not from the US. So this guy consumed porn. And what? Relax people!
That part’s fine, but this weirdo loser actually paid for it! What kind of pathetic idiot does that, instead of downloading it for free like a normal non-desperate person?!
(Yes, even in the '90s - 2000s.)
spoiler
(Plus all the hypocrisy, of course, but I didn’t want that to get in the way of my joke)
Which probably means that he, true to GOP form, is running on a hardcore platform of banning porn.
Yup.
He’s buying the porn to keep it off the streets
He’s doing his own research
Nah he wants to create scarcity. So when the porn wells dry up he will open up a speakeasy for porn.
The absolute lamest way to watch porn, even in the late nineties.
Can’t speak for those particular establishments, but in other areas, those places were known for having booths that happened to have holes between them through which guys could suck each other off.
It’s not gay when it’s through a gloryhole.
My dick doesn’t have eyes.
Then why is it staring at my mouth?
…and also, apparently, the Holocaust.
I’d ask for receipts, but I really don’t want to know what he was into.
Who goes to a “porn shop” these days?!?! It bugs me more he doesn’t know what the fucking internet is.
The shop has, per its proprietor, since gone out of business due to the internet.
fucking internet
(⌐■_■)
The only moral porn shop visit is my porn shop visit.
