    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.

    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.

          am i? they implement draconian mass surveilance measures, reinforce racism, and tolerate a shocking degree of transphobia. when i look at the things the labour party has done in my life, i see a littany right-wing populist actions that undermine left-wing populist movements. if we use the definition of fascism that fascism is right-wing populism undercutting left-wing populism, i find it hard to see Labour as something other than the slick clean wide smiling acceptable version of Britain’s Ur-Fascism spearheaded by the Conservative and Union Party

    You guys in the UK better burn any copies of Game of Thrones you might have around. The show wasn’t that good as to be worth the jail time.

    On a side note, is the UK alright?

      No, the UK is not alright. They are worse off than the US, less the blowhard leadership. As of yet.

        Absolute nonsense. I dislike our government but all the other alternatives would shift us further right. I’m not a fan of Keir, but he’s pushed back on Trump’s mad war and, in terms of policy, Labour is the UKs most liberal mainstream party.

          That is what the controlled opposition tells you to throw the game to fascists. Which makes you how do I say this, I don’t want to say a tool, but kind of.

              You are the one that should be fucking off with your Embrace of the controlled opposition leading us to a doomed to fail strategy fighting under people that will not win, are not trying to win, or not on our side, and they want to destroy us. How fucking stupid do you have to be to not realize that yet? Mate.

    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?

      where one person pretends to be under-18

      The performers may be adults, but it seems the key thing is an assertion that one or more of the characters are underage.

      Which seems easy enough, two 18 year old step siblings. In fact, I don’t know how often they ever explicitly state an age for a character nor anything that would definitively make them underage otherwise.

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

      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.

    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.

        I assume it already is illegal and this is a nothing burger. But absolutely quite disgusting if depicting underaged people having sex is not already illegal as well as depicting incest is not already illegal

      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 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.

          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 is about opposing the normalization of porn bans.

            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.
