Comment on Pornography showing strangulation and incest to be banned in UK from early November
Nollij@sopuli.xyz 20 hours agoYou accidentally committed a tautology - it’s a crime because it’s illegal/there’s a law against it. With this law, it will, by definition, become a crime.
I have no idea what the UK’s laws are on incest itself, nor fake depictions of crimes (e.g. fake snuff), and I don’t intend to find out.

It's not really a tautology.
My whole point was to not criminalise porn itself, but handle the action within it criminally only if the action is a crime.
For example, choking someone consensually isn't a crime. Squirting isn't a crime. Having sex with your fake sister isn't a crime. However somehow, making porn of it, made these actions a crime. That's what needs to go. If the action in itself is a crime - murder, mutilation, CSAM, incestuous sex (yes, sexual contact with an immediate relative is a criminal act in the UK), these are all crimes, and if they appear in porn, they should be investigated and treated as such.
But, again, squirting isn't a crime. Drinking your piss, eating your partner's shit, (consensually) choking your partner, again, not a crime. So there's no need to criminalise their appearance in porn either.

Well said on both comments.
I think there’s far too many religious zealots within government and too many religious groups advocating for such things to be banned.
I feel that we’re not far from banning homosexuality by proxy - as some people might find their acts offensive.

I find religious zealots who try to force their views onto others incredibly offensive, can we ban that too please?
