    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.

        This is why this sort of useless regulation is genius. No one is going to sign a petition to protect step-porn. Since it would permanently exist in a public archive, our great, great, great grandchildren would think we were freaks. “We don’t know much about great uncle Johnathan, but he liked watching step-siblings fuck.”

          It’s about AGE, not step porn exclusively. Opposing this is support for pedophilia.

        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…

        Honestly they all kinda missed the boat when it comes to the “morality” vote, Boomers are dieing and Gen X while still having a lot of folks who want to be just like their parents, isn’t as big a voting block. As for the newer generations studies show that they hold on to liberal ideas longer then previous generations and morality in the biblical sence isn’t as important. Sure some shit will get passed, but I honestly feel they are in their death throws, (some things take a while to die and can fuck shit up in the process) I think this is why they seem to be more openly embracing the incel community, they need voters to replace the Boomers, on a side note this is also why I believe the LDS church seems to be backing the “tradwife” influencers, but that is mostly conjecture.

    Seriously of all the porn kink that can exist why is the one about fucking your family the most popular in certain countries? It’s just Your relatives are basically the only person you shouldn’t fuck, why them, that just seems gross and mentally unhealthy.

    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.

      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.

      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.

    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.

        That’s just bollocks mate. What have we banned? Porn needs ID, yes that’s puritanical, but nothing a VPN can’t sort. We are NOTHING like the deep south.

        Banning the step-sibling porn is weird AF, granted, but beyond poorly conceived and weirdly puritanical porn rules, I’d much rather have Keir in charge than that decaying, semi-literate lunatic half the US inexplicably worship.

      I remember reading a while ago that, because you can’t have full incest in porn, the Game of Thrones porn parody (or, at least, one of them) was LESS explicit than the show.

      And no. No we’re not. I doubt many places are.

        Wait… Are you implying that incest is actually banned in porn, and that’s why it’s always step-relations? I thought it was just because the majority are disgusted by incest… I don’t think actual incest is even illegal in most places…

        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’s just because the favored style for populists in the UK is “posh twat” rather than “loud blowhard”, making them a lot harder to spot unless you’re familiar with British (especially English) culture.
