I’ve had Brexit acquaintances who claimed they had to leave the EU to get rid of silly nonsensical laws.
Meanwhile in the UK:

MODERATORS
Brexiteers, in my experience, are very much in favour of silly nonsensical laws, just different ones from the UK, like:
- Demanding Wine be sold in Pints.
- Laws about what flags you're allowed to fly.
- Laws about what language you're allowed to have private conversations in.
- Laws about what you are allowed to call things.
They like making laws, just laws that enforce their worldview on others.
What kind of country doesn't let you jerk off to the Simpsons?
one fear
on the plus side, maybe all the incest coded porn will get re worked and everyone can stop pretending to be someone's step-mom all the time.
There was an Onion article about this I read a while back. Incest porn got banned, so it turned into Catholic porn and everyone became Sister So-and-So and Father What's-his-name.
Porn will find a way, lol. Too bad it was The Onion.
Honestly this would bother me much less than the incest stuff, even though it's literally the same words.
Honestly, it's just lazy at this point. It's just a regular porn video with nothing happening to indicate any relationship between the actors besides just being apparently pretty good friends. They just slap some stupid title like "Step son fucks her step mom and step sister in the anal squirt" and the guy is obviously like 10 years older than either of the ladies, not to mention the ridiculous logistics of some poor woman having both a stepson and stepdaughter who are also stepsiblings to each other
oh it goes even stupider "step-twin" is my favorite actual porn title so called step family incest.
step twins, "Twins" who are not actually related.
At the speed Britain is running backwards on Morality, I expect mandatory covering of table legs in less than a decade.
Boy, Ikea is gonna take punches.
This is why I have an 8 TB drive just for saving porn. Can't block me from looking at local files (yet) bitches!
DO NOT RESIST CITIZEN, WE ARE JUST CHECKING FOR ANY UNAUTHORIZED HARDWARE OR FILES ON YOUR SYSTEM
IF YOU DO NOT OWN MORE THAN YOUR ALLOTED 4GB OF RAM OR ANY MORALLY OBJECTIONABLE FILES THE FINE IS MUCH LOWER
It also carries a jail sentence for possession, just like CSAM, so you'd be in big trouble if the police ever had to look at your computer for any other reason.
They can have my Simpsons porn when they pry it from my clenched, sticky hands!
Yea, and they are gonna need to self police that 8tb of random porn. That's a liability, just waiting for the internet cops to strike.
Hope they didn't miss that 100mb file of some milf choking on a hot load, that's 50 years in prison now. (Meanwhile, it's ok to sexually assault people IRL if you're rich).
Veracrypt
Then they can still block him though, because that disk is gonna get wiped before they return it.

Everyone should have an armageddon spank bank.
Developments in the last 6 or 7 years have shown it to be a prudent course of action
I too have a 8tb hard drive but it's full of cam girl recordings and futanari stuff.
We are not the same!

but 127 guys killed by machine gun fire in a Guy Ritchie movie...ok!
On one hand, maybe we as a society should move past child abuse being played for laughs.
On the other hand, a ham-fisted government ban is probably not the right way to accomplish that.
Additionally, the government banning something that it has no business banning just makes us less likely to hate it. The "no pomegranates" approach basically
What is illegal to watch in the UK? The Simpsons?
The UK has banned asphyxiation porn.
Are they acting like an angry forum moderator trying to tidy up their porn sites so they can find their favourite porn more easily?
My guess is that somebody important did it when they were younger and needed some cash

apparently some futurama ones too. uk is getting more ridiculous then puritanical US at this point.
We may have insane gun laws here in America, but at least the government understands the value of domestic violence.
They're still doing the choking gag on the Simpsons like the last 2 seasons
But apparently Apu was too much ...
Isn't it only photorealistic stuff that's banned?
Is it actually? Or are you spreading misinformation?
Kind of, it's only choking during sex and publishing it. Which also shouldn't be governed in my opinion. Porn should be regulated but not specific porn acts. They should worry about thier standard of living.
I agree with your position, but we still shouldn't spread misinformation
Not even on a Shitpost Lemmy?
No, "Its just a joke bro" stopped being a valid excuse in like 2005
100 percent
Not into that. Is the trend to just ban existence?
