    Every single one of you idiots is fine with paying extra to access a free service. VPN! VPN! Gotta have a VPN to fool everyone!

    You didn’t need a VPN before, because religious nazis have to control every single fucking thing. Control that porn! Control that “R” rated movie! Control those words in songs! Control the words in books! All religious movements.

    Stop supporting religions, you stupid fucks. Requring a VPN is just saying that poor people don’t get free porn, because they can’t afford a VPN. Which is yet another thing that religious dickheads do.

    If you’re religious - FUCK YOU!

      I was with you until the last sentence. As someone who is not religious in the slightest, I have no problem with people being religious as long as it’s not forced in me.

        Pretty much a default that religion, given the opportunity, will seek to push its rules and values on others. Doesn’t matter if it’s a medicine man or someone sitting on the local school board. I don’t have a problem with religious people in principle either, the problem is that even if you do meet a decent couple of people who appear to keep their religion to themselves there’s hundreds of thousands in their “club” that are going to fuck with things. Kinda like being in the republican party - even if they’re decent people, aren’t bootlickers, aren’t homophobes, etc… they still vote for, support, and associate with a group that does a lot of shitty things.

        The problem is that by its very existence and prevalence you have to contend with religion’s bullshit effecting your life.

        So honestly you should be against people being religious and try and discourage it. Though yeah its not super helpful to look at individual religious people and hate them openly. That’s a good way to just harden them right back against you.

      There is an important distinction between being religious and supporting organized churches. ‘Religious people’ aren’t any more of a threat to you than gay people are. Churches, particularly the Catholic Church in Christianity, that don’t even follow their religion’s teachings, are the problem.

      The solution to the root cause of this (asshole politicians) and all the other fucked up shit going on, is to vote. Vote for a candidate that won’t do shit like this. If you want to do extra, donate time or some money to a candidate you like.

      The big downsides are:

      1. Yet another Internet tax on the poor
      2. Everyone gets worse internet
      3. Most people are woefully unprepared to shop for a VPN from a reputable provider, meaning most people are going to end up subjected to even more surveillance and potentially attacks on their devices.
      4. Most people also are not prepared to manage when to and not-to use it, so will get slower internet all of the time.
      5. This will create lists of VPN users at both the ISPs and the VPN companies that will be usable by later christo-fascist governments.
      6. This will ultimately get laws passed against consumer-facing VPN services, making it harder for people to protect themselves from other attacks.
      7. More honey-pot VPN services will start up to support that list-gathering for future christo-fascist governments looking to build dossiers on as many people as possible.

      I could go on and on. And nothing about the above has anything to do with porn.

        I just keep my VPN on at all times and I’ve seen no noticable lag. My Steam download speeds are still regularly 500mb+/sec.

        I’m sure it would be marginally faster without it, but the hit is so small that I see no reason to ever turn it off.

          Yes, that’s probably the least-problem of my points. Really more of an issue for poor VPN providers, which people will end up with due to 3.
