The definition of obscenity necessitates a lack of "serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value."
This bill won't ban porn, it'll just make it all require a plot.
If porn becomes a political issue (because one political group is far more likely to support it's prohibition than others), then technically, couldn't it be argued that creating and sharing it has political value as a protest of the effort to ban it, and therefore that it has political value inherently?
If that's what you need to get there, no kink shame here.
