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?

the UK loves to control adults. they banned face sitting porn. there was a law where you a had to ask your ISP to allow you to see adult content (with the default being off). but I'm not sure how/if it was enforced because I lived there when they made their law and had no issues.

they banned face sitting porn.

Well, it kinda makes sense. If you allow people to simply watch face sitting porn from the comfort of their homes, how are they supposed to sell the public the licenses required to face sit in real life?

Oi mate do you got a cunnilicense for that?

Is this related to why all uk sites ends in .uk? I have always wondered.

[–] IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

that's how domain names work.

And Spanish sites have .es

every country has they own domain

I know, but the uk ones don't work like the regular ones. Like abc.fr is the french one, abc.co.uk is the uk one

no idea why some countries have a ".co". too busy to figure it out, but if anyone knows please tell me

Well Uk citizens will just use a VPN (until the government tries to take that away too and fails miserably). This is just ridiculous do real politics instead of this bullshit

Are the royals still allowed actual sex acts with their blood relatives?

[–] Reginald_T_Biter@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

And children too it seems?

[–] osanna@lemmy.vg 5 points 3 days ago

Personally I really dislike it and how ubiquitous it is just because the topic creeps me out. Which isn't to say that people putting something on the internet that gives me the ick calls for arrests, court proceedings and prison time, the judicial system should not be for micromanaging how people masturbate, and it shouldn't be that hard for people to accept that it's just none of their business.

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.

yeah im not big on fiction being censored. granted though in the modern age with computer graphics and ai it sorta gets wierd since its possible one could not tell. still with obvious classical style art it should not matter or with scripts or whatever. I mean there are a few well know porn actresses that are small and lithe and their schtick is generally a pretend to be underage. You 100% know they are adults becuase of their fame.

[–] yogurt@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The logic of the people pushing this is all stepbro porn is asserting they're underage because if they're stuck in the same washing machine then they live together and that means they're under 18 because British housing is very affordable. The British ban on face sitting and squirting porn got overturned with a ruling that you can't ban porn of anything that's legal irl. So now they're looking for things in porn that they can construe as irl illegal to try to find something they can ban.

Someone needs to get up in Mahmoud's face and say "You know what's really obscene? Selling weapons to someone committing genocide! And kowtowing to a murderous, kleptocratic nonce and nonce-protector as well."

I wonder if they'll ban sofa-fucking porn too, or if they're too scared of Vance to even try.
