Like the Republicans lean too heavily into enforcing their Christian culture war bullshit, ban GTAVI and obscenity and alienate the porn and video game-loving young dude demographic. Also Trump blows up the economy and then dies, Vance becomes president and conservatives become the lame fuddy duddy nerds that everyone hates again
Alternatively, Gen Z men have all become NoFap wahhabists and welcome the bans
spoiler
this speculation is very unserious
Honestly it’d be hilarious if outlawing porn and censoring video games causes reactionary men to get pissed off and jump back on to the republicans are lame fundies bandwagon that was common in the early 2000s internet forums. It’d sadly also lead to a lot of adult content creators getting financially hurt which still sucks though :/
The thing that initially got the gamer demographic onto the conservative bandwagon in the first place was when right-wing influencers got them convinced that it was the feminists that were coming for their games instead of the conservative and religious activists that had spent like 2 decades railing against heavy metal, D&D, rap and video games. Like 5 years before GamerGate the biggest gamer boogeyman was Jack Thompson. Maybe if someone finally actually did come for their treats for real there’d be another shift.
The porn and violent video game bans are bad enough, but it gets worse. As I understand it, the plan goes something like this
Some have warned it could get even worse
Jesus… at that point there better be some actual radicalization and
going on
