It's interesting how both "LGBT books / media turn people gay / trans" and "orcs promote racism" (debunked) have a similar theory underlying it.

Some Republicans believe porn can "turn you trans", even though there is no evidence for this claim whatsoever (assertions are not evidence).

The only scientific evidence I know of shows that people who view trans themed porn tend to have more positive views towards LGBT folks.

Isn't greater empathy and compassion towards others a good thing? Okay, maybe, if you hate LGBT people, and want more people to hate them too, that might be a "bad" thing.

For anyone else though, this is bad how exactly? Even if porn was doing something there, this something appears to be... Good?

Also, porn filters and anti-porn policies find it very hard to distinguish between LGBT content and porn, but that's another discussion matter.

Nor is there any evidence about these books... For that matter. Can someone even show these books are read by a significant portion of people who aren't LGBT?

Or even that a significant number of people read them? It feels like someone just saw a bunch of books which offended them and decided they wanted them banned.

There is also a very disturbing wider McCarthy like trend here. If a piece of media contains a crush involving a girl and a girl? Is this suddenly heinous and evil?

How much media would have to be burned because someone has a bunch of baseless and fanciful fears?
