Just another moral panic to allow the Government to continue to lay the ground work to take away rights.
What a colossal waste of tax money if it actually goes through... They're gonna feel silly when they realize none of the people in the films are actually related and porn is just fantasy. I suppose is these people understood fantasy they wouldn't be religion simps though.
You heard 'em!
I don't know why we have a giant "incest porn" machine, but I suppose every dog has his day.
flips switch
to overdrive
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 :(
They can always run to shitrael where they are welcome
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.
The last time an elite pedophile faced consequences in the UK was when the IRA blew up Mountbetten
Or 8 years in a presidency.
12-step programs in shambles
Kier wants to fuck his stepmom? Or does he prefer the nanny(state)?
"What are you DOING, step-mom?"
lol.
"Step ladder, no!"
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?
Are the royals still allowed actual sex acts with their blood relatives?
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.
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?
Oi mate do you got a cunnilicense for that?

What, where? IS? Now a morale police to check your internet connection?
This is the sort of stupid shit you get when you vote for right wing whack-a-doos.
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.
Israel is the bleeding edge of colonialism in our modern era. So almost every fucked up situation circles back to them evetually
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)
all the world blames the jews.
Don't think so little of your fellow man.
Stupid people who already have antisemitic tendencies might go full mask off, but most can make the distinction.
I violently hate zionists but never will I hate jews.
I don't even consider zionists jews, they have lost that right.
These guys were in a square a street from where I live, how can you not love them?
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.
Jewish here too. and Zionism is and always has been antisemitic
Fr has done more harm to the jewish diaspora than nearly anything else in modern history

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.
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.
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.
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
Ted Cruz is a good UK Citizen now?
"Oi! Yew got a loicence fer that Stepmother? Roigt, oim gonna ave to clamp those jugs untill such toime as that courts decoide"
Diabolical.

So when are they jailing the pedofile child torturers
A country with what remains of a monarchy banning any kind of incest porn is just… wow…
Irony has been institutionalized.
