    Step-incest pornography and that which depicts performers as children is abhorrent.
    Alongside banning strangulation in pornography which the government previously announced, tackling this vile content will make our country a safer place for women and children and shows the UK can lead the world in tackling violence against women and girls

    That’s it folks, step incest is violence against women and girls. Next up, in order to further protect them, they’ll be prohibited from going outside without a man by their side.

    Whoever asked “What’s next, BDSM?” - guess what

    The government has already made porn that shows women being choked illegal, after a review found videos like these had helped normalise it in real life.

    The only silver lining in this whole thing is still only in “planning”

    Ministers are also planning to make tech bosses personally liable if their platforms do not remove intimate pictures of people that are posted without consent.

    This is the hill they die on? This is the issue they threaten to revolt for? Not properly funding the NHS or something else that benefits people?

    Why is your political class in the UK even discussing such nonsense? If no harm is done, let people jack off to whatever they please.

      Personally I’d say it’s the hero being an orphaned “chosen one”, or maybe the damsel in distress trope. But maybe it depends on what kind of media you consume.

    What about NOT step family member fucking NOT step family member porn? 😉 😉

    (EDIT: I make jokes about common porn tropes, but after reading the article, it sounds as though it’s aimed specifically at step family porn has an underage/child role-playing element)

    See, incest is what they hit on Steam, too.

    I don’t get it, despite finding this to be pretty disgusting myself, with all the horrible things happening they focus on fantasy while pretending reality is not so much more vile.

    The most interesting thing about this is the fact that step siblings can have legal relationships and even marry under UK law, but depictions of their very legal sex lives are now illegal.

    I think someone might challenge this as a human right to expression infringement.

    For instance, you and your partner happen to be step siblings, but want to generate income on onlyfans. Now you can’t. Not because you are defacto doing anything illegal.

    Also, and here’s where it gets fun…

    Imagine you and your partner do make sexy videos but then your respective parents hook up.

    The videos were made when you were not step siblings, but now you are.

    Where does the law stand there? No one knows.

      Well how could it not be? Genetically it’s just two random people, what would be the basis of making it illegal if at some point your parents hit off?

      Where does the law stand there? No one knows.

      Be even worse in a few years when the paltry votes they scrounged up with this move are long forgotten and the law continues to punish and hurt people for literally no justifiable reason.

        I guarantee we are but months away from a senior labour politician resigning because they are found to have incest porn on one of their devices.

        A person presumed to possess the legal capacity for consent cannot have sex with a person presumed to lack that legal capacity. The teenager is not restricted; the adult is restricted.

        When a camera is added, the law becomes inconsistent. The minor lacks the capacity to legally engage in sex, but is now culpable in their own exploitation.
