Just another moral panic to allow the Government to continue to lay the ground work to take away rights.

[–] wraekscadu@vargar.org 14 points 1 hour ago

The role of the government is not to decide what is abhorrent and what isn't. The role of the government is to ensure protection of human rights, provide healthcare, run schools, build infrastructure and so on.

Consenting horny adults being horny with each other and doing horny stuff to each other does not violate any human rights.

The British government can go fuck itself.

Yet actual child predators often serve 2 years or less in prison :(

[–] ShaggySnacks@lemmy.myserv.one 7 points 41 minutes ago

Or nothing if you are an elite!

Remember Prince of the Nonces, Randy Andy is only under investigation because of alleging leaking confidential information. Nothing about being a child rapist.

Or all the other Epstein accomplices (minus Maxwell) are getting away for their crimes.

Or 8 years in a presidency.

Kier wants to fuck his stepmom? Or does he prefer the nanny(state)?

What, where? IS? Now a morale police to check your internet connection?

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 85 points 5 hours ago (5 children)

I don't really get this. If the characters in the production are adults and not blood related how is it different than roommate porn?

[–] f4f4f4f4f4f4f4f4@sopuli.xyz 12 points 2 hours ago

Are the royals still allowed actual sex acts with their blood relatives?

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 45 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

the UK loves to control adults. they banned face sitting porn. there was a law where you a had to ask your ISP to allow you to see adult content (with the default being off). but I'm not sure how/if it was enforced because I lived there when they made their law and had no issues.

[–] TranscendentalEmpire@lemmy.today 32 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

they banned face sitting porn.

Well, it kinda makes sense. If you allow people to simply watch face sitting porn from the comfort of their homes, how are they supposed to sell the public the licenses required to face sit in real life?

[–] CluckN@lemmy.world 16 points 2 hours ago

Oi mate do you got a cunnilicense for that?

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

where one person pretends to be under-18

The performers may be adults, but it seems the key thing is an assertion that one or more of the characters are underage.

Which seems easy enough, two 18 year old step siblings. In fact, I don't know how often they ever explicitly state an age for a character nor anything that would definitively make them underage otherwise.

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 15 points 4 hours ago

yeah im not big on fiction being censored. granted though in the modern age with computer graphics and ai it sorta gets wierd since its possible one could not tell. still with obvious classical style art it should not matter or with scripts or whatever. I mean there are a few well know porn actresses that are small and lithe and their schtick is generally a pretend to be underage. You 100% know they are adults becuase of their fame.

This is the sort of stupid shit you get when you vote for right wing whack-a-doos.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 25 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Sad thing, that was supposed to be the left wing party. Corbyn was an open socialist.

but they had a huge antisemitic campaign that ousted him for his support of Palestine and turned the Labor into a clone of the Tories.

Somehow, Israel is always to blame.

[–] ThunderQueen@lemmy.world 18 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Israel is the bleeding edge of colonialism in our modern era. So almost every fucked up situation circles back to them evetually

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 8 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

the most annoying part is that Israel took all the antisemitic conspiracy theories and made them real for Zionists, then ensure all the world blames the jews. They are the leading source of modern antisemitism. like even the most deranged antisemitic concepts like blood libel was made true by organ stealing (Knesset admitted it in 2006)

[–] ThunderQueen@lemmy.world 9 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

Yeah, im ethnically jewish as well as romani and indigenous to turtle island. Im all too familiar with the games this empire plays and the damage it causes. I pass as white, so i also hear some of the most fucked up racist things from people who think im one of them.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Jewish here too. and Zionism is and always has been antisemitic

[–] ThunderQueen@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Fr has done more harm to the jewish diaspora than nearly anything else in modern history

they literally helped Nazi circumvent boycotts. the end result is that zionists fled and bundists were genocided.

Zionism hurting jews isn't an understatement.

From my own experience living in the UK (as somebody from somewhere else in Europe who also lived in a couple more European countries), Britain is hugelly Moralistic, sorta like Southern Europe 50 years ago before Universal Education when those countries were very religious.

The thing is, Southern Europe has actually moved onwards from that decades ago, as religion's power weakened thanks to high levels of Education amongst the young, whilst in Britain there were a few decades with a bit more moral liberalism which was just about enough to make homophobia socially frowned upon and to make homosexual marriage legal, but no further, and it all seemed to be anchored on who it is or not socially acceptable to shun for their sexuality, so nowadays you get self-proclaimed Feminists in The Guardian (so, supposedly the most liberal people in the most liberal newspaper) with opinion pieces outraged about for the (I! Kid! You! Not!) use of sex dolls by men, with not even the tinyest bit of self-awareness about how that's exactly the same kind of article written about homosexuality a mere 40 years ago only about some other sexual practice that hurts nobody.

Unsurprisingly, that country has even slid down to transphobia in recent years.

So in present day Britain things having slid down so far that there's a moral outrage for some kind of sexual roleplaying or other and a weak and desperate hard-right "center"-"left" government enacting legislation with actual prison time for it, isn't too surprising.

In the XXI century, Britain is quickly passing the most backwards countries in Europe, accelerating towards its "golden age": the Victorian Era.

[–] Th4tGuyII@fedia.io 28 points 5 hours ago

Oh no! How will I ever know what to do when my step-sibling is stuck in a washing machine?!


Seriously though, while it is definitely weird when an adult pretends to be a minor in porn, is it really 5 years in prison weird??

Like are we really going to put people in prison for pretending to do something illegal when we already have a problem with huge delays in court times and severely overcrowded prisons?

I'd much prefer the limited public resources go towards locking up actual pedos than people fetishising them.

[–] Gonzako@lemmy.world 12 points 4 hours ago

So when are they jailing the pedofile child torturers

[–] Bassman27@lemmy.world 189 points 8 hours ago (6 children)

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.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 34 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 4 hours ago

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

[–] teyrnon@sh.itjust.works 39 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

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

A country with what remains of a monarchy banning any kind of incest porn is just… wow…

Irony has been institutionalized.

[–] kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 135 points 8 hours ago (10 children)

Banning porn where the actors pretend that what they're doing is almost illegal is wild. What's next, prison time if they say that one of the participants is just over the age of consent?

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 4 hours ago

Britain + Some early 20s old girl shouts "I want you daddy!" to some late 20s guy = Jail!
