Not from the UK, what's this about. Can't sit on faces no more?

    A new law that bans several kinks in porn is taking effect today.

    I sometimes feel like the British authorities would ban sex altogether if they could find people some other way that would be willing to eat kidney pie.

    When it comes to British culture, the thing I’m most hung up on is their definition of “pudding“. As an American, this is what “pudding“ means to me:

    But when the British use the word “pudding“ I have absolutely no goddamn idea what they mean. I have been trying to figure it out for decades, immersing myself in British culture, and I am no closer to figuring it out than I was when I started.

    Is it a car? A breed of cow? A 15th century poet? A sweet sausage meat pie made with a crispy crust? A Welsh slur for immigrants? A sex act that was popular during the Victorian era? I have no fucking idea…

    I can't guarantee it isn't any or all of those.

    THAT’S WHAT’S SO FUCKING FRUSTRATING!

    I’M PRETTY SURE IT’S ALL OF THESE! AND ALSO MORE THINGS!

    They must have run out of words and got tired of borrowing them from other languages. Those who were still willing were all shipped to Australia? Sounds like a criminal act as far as the British are concerned.

    I think this was during one of their cultural takeover luls, before they discovered a bunch of new foods and bugs. Maybe before Australia, but maybe before the Americas. Who the fuck knows.

    Definitely during a period of a lot of disease and cousin-fucking, so 1000-1500AD. You know, when religion was very popular and science was not

    Pudding is just dessert. Sometimes it's a pudding you'd recognise as a pudding, sometimes it's a bit of ice cream, other times it's something ridiculous. It's always dessert.

    Yes, I was able to determine that within a few minutes. The frustration comes from the wide range of bizarre dishes that the Britons define as “dessert“. It could be literally anything I have previously listed, and a wide ranging manner of things I didn’t.

    So... you're angry about what a different culture considers dessert? Maybe don't look into South Asian or East Asian desserts.....

    I don’t recall ever using the word “angry“ here...

    And this isn’t about desserts; it’s about the British usage of the word “pudding”, as I clearly articulated. Try to keep up.

    (oh, and if you’re gonna project your emotions onto me, don’t be so sloppy about it)

    Edit: a thought occurs: there’s some nice grass outside. You should go and touch it. In the meantime: you’re blocked.

    Edit: had to jump to an alt account just to pretend to read my mind? Who’s the “angry” one? Lol.

    I think their pudding was introduced in food rationing during some war or another. To let the meat and such go farther, they made pudding from things like leftover bread and whatever.

    Oh great, that only narrows it down to the last millennium or so, and the meat of nearly every beast, fish, and fowl.

    So… Scotland?

    Edit: I say! With these comments, I’m really being taken on a grand tour!

    Pudding is dessert.

    So it's what you posted, plus every other sweet treat you might have after your tea.

    OK, but that leaves open everything the British might classify as “dessert”, which could be literally anything, including everything I listed previously

    The way I read it is that possession of the material is illegal, not sharing or recording. Possession. In Denmark possession of CSAM was made illegal and it lead to police being forced to prosecute people who accidentally uncovered CSAM and wanted to report it. I haven't heard of specific cases, but if you want to report existence of CSAM on a CD that is in your hands which you found in the attic of a home you just moved into the police will tell you to destroy it immediately and forget about it because the law can't distinguish between the owner of the CSAM and the current temporary person that possesses it and reports it. The UK law sounds like it will create the same issue (not that I am arguing that consensual BDSM = CSAM. Far from it. I just fear the consequences could be transferrable to this law and outlawing possession of bits and bytes is always a problem).

    I btw couldn't find face sitting on the list of outlawed kinks, so those who are into that are safe for now.

    there's websites that are deleting face sitting as it's unclear if it can be legally viewed as suffocation, so it's a classic morality law that uses vague language to get broad self censorship happening.

    The vagueness is absolutely a problem and in morality laws might even be an intended side effect.

    This source though interprets it differently saying that having a hand at the throat without actual choking isn't covered but do note the keyword seems to be is splattered all over the page. (PS. The page is SFW but I don't know about the rest of the site).

    No matter what this is an inch away from being a straight up though police law.

    it's not intended as a side effect, it's a very well known tactic in law writing that goes back to some of the earliest laws humans ever made, the point of vauge language in law is to have wider appeal, and to claim arbitrary power by the law giver.

    edit: just adding that part of that arbitrary power is getting people to behave in extreme ways outside of the scope of the legal system 'just in case'. so, people deleting face sitting porn to comply with 'no strangulation' even though there's no language to explicitly say so, and no legal reason to do so.

    The fuuuuuck? Even in america, the stars would have to align for that to happen. The cop would have to dislike you, the prosecutor would have to dislike you (or be gunning for a higher political position and you're an easy mark for being tough on child criminals), the jury would have to hate you (or be really dumb and not believe you took the material to the cops in the first place), AND you would have to be dumb enough to not realize how hated you are in your local area and still give them the rope to hang you with.

    It's nonsense.

    See for example the Danish "Operation Umbrella" where more than 1000 cases of possession of CSAM were prosecuted because a video of two fifteen year olds had been shared around on FB messenger.

    Those who had received and opened it did not get punished. Those who had passed it on or requested it did.

    Perfectly sensible.

    Do you have any documentation for these claims about Danish law? They don't match e.g. the rulings in the big Umbrella case from some years ago.

    No it's anecdotal. Someone told me they discovered CSAM on second hand hardware and that was what they were told when they reported it. Umbrella just shows the incompetence of the police, this case shows the incompetence of the law. Doesn't matter if anyone got jailed because of it, the fear is enough to not report CSAM.
