People commenting on .xxx must not be aware of looming new TLDs.
I’ve written a couple times about the comment period for what to do with ICM Registry and the .xxx top level domain name. The majority of comments submitted to ICANN are from people opposed to pornography in general. Religious and conservative leaders are calling on others to submit similar comments.
Not only is the question ICANN is seeking input on not being answered , but it’s clear that these commenters have no idea what’s ahead. That’s because, whether they like it or not, .xxx is coming. It’s only a matter of if it comes from ICM registry now, or if it is introduced when new TLDs are launched.
.xxx is coming. .Sex might be coming, too. We’ll certainly see .gay. Maybe even .God, .Catholic, and .Muslim. And there will be many other top level domain names that some people will find offensive or controversial.
Clearly, the people rallying these anti-.xxx commenters to action aren’t aware of what’s just around the corner. They certainly haven’t raised as much of a stink around it. They probably won’t until they actually see it happen.
