On one hand this guy has a hell of a hobby that seems like it steps on everything else in his life. On the other its amazing dude exists to fuck with normative behavior and policies that exist to keep people down.

Thankful for them trying to protect our virgin eyes from the ravages of a dirty word, but the extra letters r n are too triggering, and they've scarred our delicate, snowflake lives. Is there some remedy they can offer to atone for inflicting this trauma on us?

It's not a discrimination thing, I'm sure this is just facial recognition failing over his extensive facial tattoos, same as it can fail on people with very dark skin. No racism or discrimination needed to explain it, it's just the software or sometimes even physics that causes it.

Having said that, fuck the UK government for implementing this shit.

Get your porn whilst you can because other countries will follow suit and soon even a VPN won't save you anymore

Out of curiosity, what does the law say exactly? Is distributing porn without age verification illegal? Like, if I set up a a 'take one, leave one' free porn box, would using it be illegal?
