Dexerto has reported that Senate Bill 20 is planned to be included as an amendment to Chapter 43 of Texas’ penal code, with the section reading:“A person commits an offense if the person knowingly possesses, accesses with intent to view, or promotes obscene visual material containing a depiction that appears to be of a child younger than 18 years of age engaging in activities described by Section 43.21(a)(1)(B), regardless of whether the depiction is an image of an actual child, a cartoon or animation, or an image created using an artificial intelligence application or other computer software”.It goes on to say the activities described by Section 43.21(a)(1)(B) are a matter of interpretation. The definition of “obscene” includes activities that are illegal, but also includes the wording: “(Material or a performance that) taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, and scientific value”.This could put many anime series, comics, and games at risk, with a lot of stories depicting underage characters in situations considered violent or otherwise inappropriate from a certain perspective.

The Center Square.The bill directs school boards to enact penalties for students who act in such a manner, including suspension or expulsion.Additionally, the measure allows the Texas Attorney General to impose a fine of $10,000 for a first offense — and $25,000 for subsequent offenses — if teachers and administrators fail to stop students from behaving like animals.Gerdes’ measure would also amend the Texas Family Code to redefine mental or emotional injury to a child as including “allowing or encouraging the child to develop a dependence on or belief that non-human behaviors are societally acceptable.”Under the code, allowing such behavior would be considered tantamount to subjecting a child to harm, including sexual abuse, human trafficking, prostitution, child pornography, child marriage, and use of controlled substances.Gerdes filed the bill in response to feedback from constituents, and a furry-related incident that allegedly occurred at the Smithville Independent School District.He did not elaborate on what the incident entailed or when it occurred — although he claimed that the superintendent confirmed the incident had taken place — and no known news reports in recent years have covered any such alleged incident.Gerdes’ obsession with furries relies on a common right-wing trope that has been repeated by Republicans who have sought political office.
