Prison? Are you going to bang me up step bro?

Lol. What the hell is wrong with the UK?
The Ministry of Justice said that possessing and publishing porn showing incest between family members and sex between step or foster relatives where one person pretends to be under-18 would be a crime.
I feel like everytime this is brought up, headlines ignore the whole "pretending to be under 18" part...
How that's interpreted determines everything else.
It's also super weird they don't ban everything where the person pretends to be a child tho...
Isn't child porn already illegal though? Even pretending to be I am pretty sure counts by UK laws.
They're just annoyed that every time they go on pornhub for some wank material that it is dominated by step-fantasy shit.
Yeah, all the tractor stuff gets pushed to page 8 and you have to do loads of scrolling.
But this wouldn't actually outlaw that...
They'd throw some kind of line/establishment that they're over 18 in that takes 10 seconds and it's legal again. Or even just a "all characters are based on someone 18+" screen.
That's why it doesn't make sense anyone is making it a big deal, it does absolutely nothing.
It's a distraction from real shit.
Why the UK is going on the anti porn crusade?
Sees dissent on the internet.
- Mandatory opt-out ISP porn filter
- Age verification for porn, also covering every other site with any adult discussion.
- Crackdown on “Icky” niches, to build consensus for
- VPN ban
And now dissent on the internet can be prosecuted.
All the age verification stuff is just the excuse to de-anonymize your online accounts, all without needing to get a warrant and go through an ISP for the IP, etc. so they can easily identify an individual directly whenever you say something online. And if you use the same username everywhere, they only need to identify one to know who you are with 99% certainty.
It has nothing to do with age or porn, that's just the easy excuse.
Anything to distract from the ultra wealthy taking all the gains, contributing relatively nothing to society, and everyone suffering because their greed is inexhaustible.
They're on a downward spiral to conservatism again. Last week in the comments of a youtube channel (big Clive) I like I saw some comments saying something like "you should do a colab with the black belt barrister". Always looking for new stuff, I checked it out. One of the first videos I saw was titled "This nonsense needs to stop", while the text in the thumbnail read "Labour's attack on girls' rights". It was the "transgender teens shouldn't be in girls sports" trope, complete with everyone in the comments cheering him on. And while this is only one channel, the fact that multiple people seem to recommend it in a channel I'm following says a lot to me. The anti porn crusade fits right in, just keep people mad about stuff that doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, have them vote right and steal everything.
Likely an attempt to increase birth rates, or conservative opportunism
Five years for roleplaying in the bedroom with a camera? What the fuck? Yeah ok it is icky but the reality is still it is insane to threaten people with jail time for roleplaying in the bedroom with a camera and it is the most UK thing ever.
The only thing that could make this more perfectly stupid is if Keir Starmer gets caught having watched a bunch of this kind of porn.
This is what centrists obsess over instead of addressing real existential issues like the cost of living, healthcare, WW3 or climate change.
So, im not a fan. I feel like its annoying and straight 'people' are Not Okay.
But like... What the fuck?
What crime in the U.K. has less than 5 year sentence? Beating someone up? Sexual assault? Sounds like they'd rather you do that.
I know Sir Kier is a big clever lawyer and that but someone should tell him this is not real.
Once upon a time I thought labour would be better
I want the pornographic documentary of the royal family.
Show me queen Victoria getting her back blown out.
That's the morally correct kind of porno Kier wants obviously.
With even possessing it being a crime? That's crazy.
A ban on producing and publishing it is one thing, but a ban on possessing it could involve some absolutely insane enforcement. Especially if they count cached content on your computer as 'possession'. Oops, you visited pornhub and loaded their homepage? Now you have 30 video thumbnail images in your browser cache, 20 of which feature themes of 'step-incest'. That'll be 20 counts of possession of incest pornography -- have fun in court.
