UK government:
Real problems: I sleep
Moral panic: real shit
Already banned (porn) in the UK: squirting, face sitting, bondage, seeing any sex related content without submitting government ID (including educational material, online supportive discussion on intimate problems, LGBTQ+ related material, etc), water sports, humiliation, fisting, consensual "verbal abuse". Thanks UK government.
Wait, they seriously banned squirting?
Literally because it upset PM David Cameron's mother.
[insert wtf meme]
If it upsets you, DON'T FUCKING WATCH IT.
For example I don't watch scat porn because I find it disgusting. But I'd never want to legislate on my personal opinion on such a... subjective matter.
As long as it's consenting adults, and no crime is committed (so, still no snuff/child porn). But if people want to get off to others playing with piss, shit, squirt, or being choked, or having their balls beaten into a pulp, fucking let them...
You accidentally committed a tautology - it's a crime because it's illegal/there's a law against it. With this law, it will, by definition, become a crime.
I have no idea what the UK's laws are on incest itself, nor fake depictions of crimes (e.g. fake snuff), and I don't intend to find out.
It's not really a tautology.
My whole point was to not criminalise porn itself, but handle the action within it criminally only if the action is a crime.
For example, choking someone consensually isn't a crime. Squirting isn't a crime. Having sex with your fake sister isn't a crime. However somehow, making porn of it, made these actions a crime. That's what needs to go. If the action in itself is a crime - murder, mutilation, CSAM, incestuous sex (yes, sexual contact with an immediate relative is a criminal act in the UK), these are all crimes, and if they appear in porn, they should be investigated and treated as such.
But, again, squirting isn't a crime. Drinking your piss, eating your partner's shit, (consensually) choking your partner, again, not a crime. So there's no need to criminalise their appearance in porn either.
Well said on both comments.
I think there's far too many religious zealots within government and too many religious groups advocating for such things to be banned.
I feel that we're not far from banning homosexuality by proxy - as some people might find their acts offensive.
I find religious zealots who try to force their views onto others incredibly offensive, can we ban that too please?
Starting with public worship and such. Absolutely no need to have either Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists or anyone else preaching in public. No, idgaf about your religious freedom, you're free to follow any religion, not create a public nuisance and harass people.
Amen Sister/Brother
Every accusation... David Cameron's mom is a squirter.
They can piss off! Wait, thats banned too?
oh sure, when your entire system of government is based entirely on incestuous relations to "stay pure" for generations, its ok. but when Phil wants to wank his pecker to it, it's unacceptable.
double standards UK.
Wh-what are you doing, step-government?!! 😩😫🥵
In related news, billionaires will continue to rape and dispose of children without meaningful consequence.
Incest porn banned, incest itself not banned. Fucking Labour banning things instead of actually fixing real problems yet again
I presume sexual contact with minors is already banned, at least officially? If two consenting adult siblings want a go at each other, more power to them, because they make them royalty.
Birth rates are in decline! Let's ban porn, that will fix things. Why has nothing changed? Sorry, I can't be bothered. We're going after video games next!
Well, you cant see porn in the UK without giving ID anyway, so I assume no one actually accesses these sites from the UK anyway (without a VPN), so this will have no effect.
The effect it gives is yet another tool for police to hold over the public and enforce selectively. A wonderful tool for political enemies for instance.
I cannot emphasise enough how trivial it is to view porn without providing ID or using a VPN in the UK. You can literally type "porn" into your search engine of choice and see anything you want in the images tab. Part of the reason the OSA was so badly received is because it's literally unachievable.
I accidentally did this yesterday. Was looking fora specific smbc-comic that involved porn as the joke.
Google just straight up showed me shitloads of hardcore images. No safesearch blur no nothing. Just right to the goodies.
Had to tab put immediately my wife was in the room.
In other news, VPN signups are at an all time high.
Their legality is also under review.
Uk goverment once again showing it doesnt know how a VPN works and that the USA is the current mass producer of step-daughter content (you sick fucks)
Ah but they claim they can beat that by fingerprinting the specific packets from banned videos or aome horseshit
Are step family still incest though?
What are you doing step-strangler?!?
An amendment to include step- in the ban passed. By one vote.
No more hardcore stuff. Damn. Didnt know the puritants would be back again
This is the dumbest thing.
The dumbest thing so far today!
Its really a wonder that these Victorian prudes haven't caused their own extinction yet.
That will be very weird to defend. I can't wait to hear conservatives' arguments for them.
They are really pining for the victorian era.
where incest was best and nobody talked about it?
