What about NOT step family member fucking NOT step family member porn? 😉 😉

(EDIT: I make jokes about common porn tropes, but after reading the article, it sounds as though it's aimed specifically at step family porn has an underage/child role-playing element)

First they come for the step-bruvs, next the gardeners and pool guys.

Serious question: how can anything step related be incest? I thought an incestuous relationship required blood relation.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 3 days ago

Incest is strictly about blood relations. The step-sibling / step-child porn genre is shorthand for fantasies about getting it on within the cohabitative family or close neighborhood. While there have been some movies that have explored actual incest (porn or otherwise), usually blood incest is regarded as a much more serious matter.

IRL, relationships between steps are verboten not because of the problems with breeding risks but because of how it complicates familial dynamics. It's the same reason fraternization within military units or within work groups is restricted, or at least frowned upon.

Really, we're still expected to ride on a raid to another tribal settlement and kidnap one of their coming-of-age womenfolk the way Hades abducted Persephone¹ Modern alternatives such as singles bars and mixing parties continue to prove wanting.

¹ According to the late Hellenic mythology -- Persephone is queen of the underworld before Hades was ever around, and her abduction is more about pissing off Ceres and justifying why she's sad every six months so we have winter.

Soo, UK goes all batshit puritan now?

I'm just happy they're out of EU and not voting on common policy anymore.

You do know where the original puritans come from right?

I'm glad politicians are spending their time solving the biggest problems we are facing.

I don't understand, do they mean they are ok if it is under 18 but not incest? Is that where they draw the line regarding underage porn?

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

It's not underage porn, it's depicting someone as underage, while the actress or actor is in fact over 18.

Which does seem like a reasonable thing to ban.
