Hey, what a valuable initiative. I mean, it’s not like there are any real problems in the world...

...if there really were, that would just be a distraction...

...and that can’t possibly be the case...

I'm just imagining the millions of taxpayer money that they are going to waste running around trying to enforce this. 🤣

It's the UK government, their digital crimes division is basically 2 men in a shed

This is basically a rule that will not get policed unless they wanna find an excuse to fuck over a dissident that they can't find any other excuse to put in prison

Ah yes, because fictional scenarios of incest relations might as well be engaging in the real thing. If even the Epstein class says it then surely it must be true.

fictional scenarios of incest relations

Not incest. Step relations are not blood relations. The parents marry and combine their existing families.

The article is referring to step-incest relations.

How about we pray that the person who introduced that law and people who made it official, die in a horrible fire?

What the fuck is going on with the UK?

Isn’t incest not even a crime?

While it's odd to me that incest porn took off so much these last 15 years, the government doesn't have the right to do such a thing.

I remember browsing porn a long time ago, 15 years or more maybe, and finding otherwise good porn that was under the incest, stepmom kind of thing, it was mostly russian then if I recall, but now it's everywhere. I hardly watch porn now but when I do browse it, it's everywhere now.

10% of me expected the announcement about naughtiness to turn into an adult movie at the end.
