When banging your step mum is legal but watching a fictional video of someone else banging their step mum is illegal 🤪 welcome to the UK ladies and gentlemen.

Be sure you don't call a genocide a genocide. Wouldn't be proper.

That would legally be "supporting terrorism" and socially be "anti-semitism".

It's legal if you submit your ID to the government and have it recorded in the masterbaitorbase that you whacked off to that video. What, don't make it weird... /s

Well, it's not really different to supporting a genocidal fascist dictatorship and declaring everyone who supports their victims "terrorists"...

The world is an idiocracy and the majority of humanity are mentally ill. The world would not be as fucking stupid and insane as it is if the average person was logical.

...if the people weren't intentionally under-educated and manipulated en masse for generations to prefer illogical, irrational, and self-destructive patterns by their respective "government".

FTFY.

But what about if you need to evidence that you had sex with your step-mom, you know, for the normal legal reasons?
