So many people in the comments are asleep at the wheel.
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.
Porn showing characters that are related having sex
Porn showing UNDERAGE characters having sex.
That’s it. That’s all this stops.
Which probably is already illegal in most places
This will stop very little to no additional porn according to what was said.
It’s NOT a ban on showing step porn, only when one person is under the age of 18.
This solves maybe having. Some law to help prosecute things that are likely already being prosecuted but will do nothing to stop what has become popular.
Until they get people comfortable with that. Then it’ll be porn that’s deemed “degrading” or depictions of BDSM, or whatever they think they can sell you next. People who want to stop porn want to stop all porn. People who aren’t religious psychos who fall for this kind of bullshit aren’t really better than the religious psychos in any practical sense.
Signed,
A guy who hates step porn, and is really pissed off to have to defend it.
Opposing this is about opposing the normalization of porn bans. Making porn with kids is already illegal most everywhere, and making porn where someone pretends to be a kid is already illegal in the UK.
Defending this is defending backdoor theocracy.
Side note: dibs on Backdoor Theocracy as a band name…

Opposing this isn’t defending step porn - it’s opposing illegalizing using minors in porn.
If it were actually about banning some kind of consensual porn between adults, then you’d be defending step porn by opposing it.

So you think porn with minors should be legal? Personally, I think that being illegal is a good thing and calling it “theocracy” is fucking stupid.
