    I may be stateside but i’m still amazed that a party that’s supposed to be truly left-leaning is putting out alt-right policies in the U.K.

    The Ministry of Justice said that possessing and publishing porn showing incest between family members and sex between step or foster relatives where one person pretends to be under-18 would be a crime.

    So it’s only a crime if they pretend to be under-18, and I haven’t seen any porno where anyone pretends to be under-18. There’s literally a category called barely 18. No one ever pretends to be under, but they do pretend to be barely-18.

    Jess Asato, the Labour MP for Lowestoft, said: ‘After many years of campaigning to ensure online pornographic content is subject to the same rules as offline content,

    When the fuck was under-18 porn ever legal? WTF? Also, isn’t the age of consent in the UK 16 years old?

    What the fuck is the point of this? Why the fuck is it needed? Who is it helping? What is it fixing? NOTHING.

    Fucking jokers… Go tax the billionaires and fix the NHS and the cost of the living crisis you cunts .

    As always, the first computers you should check when anyone tries to ban consensual porn that harms no one, are the computers of the ones proposing the ban.

    Sounds like someone got caught watching step sister porn, and is now throwing the weight of government behind his shame.

    abhorrent step incest porn, sure ban it, but what about good or hot step incest porn? We all know what that is when we see it, right?

    And if they want to add a prison scene to the end of thos step incest porn films those pornos then fine. Sounds pervy to me, but I dont judge what other people do in their bedrooms alone that doesnt hurt anyone because thats none of my fucking business, or anyone elses. People (and governments) should just leave other people alone unless it directly affects others.

    Starmer seems like a moron with this move.

    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

      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.

      To be fair, the headline is overblown since they are banning step-incest porn where one of the individuals is pretending to be underage.

        Which begs the question of “what do they mean by pretending to be underage?” I seriously doubt any of the actors are going to claim to be underage in the video as that would get their videos removed from any mainstream platform. Another user suggested that this is based on body type meaning petite actresses are going to be the ones targeted as being “illegal” just for existing as they are despite being of age.

          Yeah, it looks very vague and possible targeting videos that don’t exist, have no effect and still give Starmer a political win?

          Starmer could use it but his reverse hand of midas is going to turn it to shit no matter who.

    Step-incest pornography and that which depicts performers as children is abhorrent.
    Alongside banning strangulation in pornography which the government previously announced, tackling this vile content will make our country a safer place for women and children and shows the UK can lead the world in tackling violence against women and girls

    That’s it folks, step incest is violence against women and girls. Next up, in order to further protect them, they’ll be prohibited from going outside without a man by their side.

    Whoever asked “What’s next, BDSM?” - guess what

    The government has already made porn that shows women being choked illegal, after a review found videos like these had helped normalise it in real life.

    The only silver lining in this whole thing is still only in “planning”

    Ministers are also planning to make tech bosses personally liable if their platforms do not remove intimate pictures of people that are posted without consent.
