UK is so fucking weird. Look guys there is nothing we can do about health and social services, we gotta save money for ‘the EcOnOmY’ but you know what? How about we save this country by making pprn harder to come by? That should help.
That’s all that’s left in all the European welfare states. There is no political willpower to do anything except mindlessly ban, restrict and surveill everything.
Norway for example, instead of fixing our worthless public transport, opted instead to enforce an age limit on energy drinks.
The trains only run at half capacity and can only run on time less than 60% of all departures. But hey, now I have to show my ID every time I buy a Red Bull.
What are you doing step-relative-just-distant-enough-to-be-legal-under-uk-law?
Hilariously, the act they’re criminalizing in porn is not actually illegal to do. You can bang your step siblings but you better not film it
hey there roommate whom i’ve known my whole life
hey there my dad’s new girlfriend’s son
friend who’s parents moved across the country for new jobs but wanted to finish highschool and moved in with us
Peruse royal family tree for reference
PornHub codes up a solution that just replaces every step-whatever title with a randomly chosen historical instance of some real royal folks who really shouldna been bumpin uglies
or fantasy. just use that twisted dragon family from game of thrones. “oh darlyon the 3rd, my washing machine broke” and things of that nature
Well, I’m sometimes clumsy with the ol words, but the joke was about using strictly historical references of things that happened, to throw the idea of “yes the ruling class tends to know what’s best” into a more honest framing.
This better not include mommy asmr
How will the nation’s step-sisters get out of dryers now?
CSA mention
Once the law comes into effect, anyone found to posses or publish pornography which shows incest between family members, or sex between step- or foster-relations where one person is pretending to be under-18, will be criminalized
Buried the lede on that pretty damn hard
Well that’s a lot more specific than the headline and also like… really hard to prove. That and why would it just be in one context it’s not allowed?
I suspect it’s so they can prosecute abusers who film unequivocally bad things, since this removes any room for interpretation or coaching the victims so the abuser can get off on a technicality.
That’s my best guess as to why it would be written like that. We might be getting primed by the headline to interpret it uncharitably.
9/11 but for gooners
I wonder if this is like when the UK banned any porn with squirting in it, where if you read into it past the headlines it was really just any depictions of female pleasure
This will be th first law in a century that the King officially steps in to kill the legislation
Normally I tell people to step away from the lathe but I actually think you might be the correct custodian for it
is there an epidemic of step-siblings fucking eachother or something in the UK why would you even need to highlight this & subsequently ban it???
I like how the amendment calls it step-incest lol
There isn’t an epidemic in real life, but it is very common in pornography to skirt any laws surrounding incest while keeping… the taboo aspect, I guess?
i like how the language is called english but the english themselves are consistently the worst at utilizing it. it’s so clearly STEPCEST what is wrong with the heap of lords (besides literally everything about the constitution of the body, it’s members, and how they are appointed)
If it’s not from the step bro mountains of [joke still under construction, please wear hard hats while scrolling through]
They’re like a thousand years old and grew up wrifing like fhis
there’s some pretty bad incest but its kind of a touchy subject politically bcs its basically exclusively pakistani immigrants who do it on a large scale
I never knew the Windsors were from Pakistan
Cousin marriage is bad whether its the Windsors or pakistanis or east anglians doing it and i never said otherwise
Thats cousins and not step family. I’m not endorsing it, but it is an entirely different issue.
I mean if it was a step-sibling issue there’d be no problem and you wouldn’t get fun reports like this.
There’s just as much, if not more, coercion around arranged cousin marriages than there is in step-sibling intercourse and far more risk to any kids. We all understand that smoking and drinking while pregnant is child abuse, why shouldn’t cousin marriage be considered the same way?
Thankfully it’s been decreasing in recent years thanks to government initiatives that were rolled out a decade or two ago to cut down on teen pregnancy and incest in the uk https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-67422918.
I understand the reason for banning cousin marriages, and I do not endorse cousin marriages.
However if your reason is solely that they carry an increased risk risk of genetic disorders in resulting offspring, then I’m sorry I have simply read too many medical textbooks to accept that argument blindly. Should we ban anyone who is a carrier of a genetic disorder from having children? What about anyone with a genetic marker for a disorder? What about geriatric pregnancies, are women who get pregnant at 40 child abusers? What if someone has a robertsonian translocation in their germline, are we gonna sterilise those people?
Man let’s go all the way, ashkenazis don’t get to have sex with other ashkenazis.Cousin marriage isn’t great, real incest is bad, neither one justifies or is really related to portrayals of step sisters getting stuck in dryers.
i dont think banning it outright is an answer, but i think it should be absolutely be discouraged as much as possible, we do need to draw some kind of a line between acceptable and unnacceptable sacrifices for the sake of kids wellbeing and the general health of society. Not smoking and drinking for 9 months is an acceptable sacrifice for a kids health, encouraging people through education and social programs to marry one of the millions of people in the uk who isn’t a first cousin is an acceptable sacrifice imo, but strapping an armband on someone with a genetic condition and sterilising them obviously isnt an acceptable sacrifice.
The UKs been consistently rolling out programs to discourage young brits becoming pregnant and its been immensely succesful (see spoilered graph)
I don’t think its particularly outrageous to suggest that something could be done to combat interfamily marriages too without carrying out mass arrests or anything like that.
oh no they’re going to have to think of a new scenario, after so many years does anyone even remember how?
My stepfather-in-law is a pornographer. It is difficult to get his attention in an erotic scene because he is lost in wonder. We were in a porn theatre together years ago and I asked him what it would cost to come up with a new concept today. I will never forget his answer… ‘We can’t, we don’t know how to do it.’"
This is the wildest comment I’ve read here in a while
It’s a (well-executed!) snowclone, the original being
My father-in-law is a builder. It is difficult to get his attention in a magnificent space because he is lost in wonder. We were in a cathedral together years ago and I asked him what it would cost to build it today. I will never forget his answer… “We can’t, we don’t know how to do it.”
Damn I had a feeling but I wanted to believe
The answer is ~€374 million using La Sagrada Familia as the example
What an incredibly silly thing to say, as if there isn’t a veritable army of people effectively building and rebuilding cathedrals using historical techniques to this day. Poor ole stepfather been done dirty, now everyone knows how ignorant and bad of a builder he is…
Actual answer: “lol lmao. Porky ain’t paying for that”
The stepfather was staring at the titty angels in the stucco
maybe door dash
For Brits, it probably takes away the mystique of the royals being a bunch of sister- and cousin-fuckers. Also, think of the children? Isn’t that exactly what The Andrew Formerly Known as Prince was doing?
How will Albo respond to this one?
Will he let England overtake Australia with its oddly specific seeming porn microgenre legislation or will he find a way to come from behind and backdoor australia’s parent country, perhaps with a brand new law against depictions of sodomy? One thing is for certain, I’m volcel and I believe pornographix should be drawn by the consumer then burnt.
Old elbow-greasy? He’ll find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory no doubt…
uk finally getting a dub, wish they’d enforce the ban on actual incest though
What is with this place turning into conservatives the second it comes to sex?
I have to imagine it’s from years of volcel police jokes reinforcing a sex-negative culture and the complete lack of understanding of feminism or queer theory of most of the userbase.

this is a vote from the house of lords, comrade. they can’t very well pass laws against their own parents and spouses! what a heap of scandal!
There’s no way this passes the house of lords
The peerage is the House of Lords, this headline specifically says that the House of Lords passed it.
House of loads
Guess it’s time to pick up a trade? Help ‘fix’ those pesky washing machines? Maybe help Xi / Xir take a shower by refitting a pipe?
