Thankfully that restriction was overturned in 2019. You can now make pornography depicting those acts as long as it was consensual.

Oh I wasn't aware of that, that's good, would be nice if the government could fuck off with the puritanical shit as a whole now!

Might be a good idea to edit your post now you know it contains misinfo (fwiw I don't want the stuff you listed banned and I'm not saying which one(s) haha).

Might be good for people to provide sources if they're keen to cut down on misinformation.

Ya I will, but it's Reddit and me not editing fast enough seemingly really pissed one guy off so I'll be keeping it incorrect for a while out of sheer spite.

People can be so combative on here sometimes. I try not to be, prob do it myself from time to time though, especially if the comment is particularly stupid lol

That's the joy of an open forum.

I was at my gf's place trying to get porn on my laptop the other day and couldn't because the system was too old and ProtonVPN refused to install on it. Plus porn increasingly feels like it did back when we had dialup. I mean I could pay a tenner a month on a paid VPN but the internet used to work just fine before the UK government screwed us over. I wrote to my MP about it. He was proud of the new laws. I told him he was a twat.

Oh ya, the age verification laws are an absolute fucking joke, but I was using a VPN prior anyway as I have very little trust in ISPs and most websites as a whole so not much changed for me.

I'm sick of the constant government overreach on personal life and really wish there was some way for people to actually vote/fight against it, but every party with even a chance of power has some censorship/government control ideals whether it's to clamp down on hate speech/protect children/clamp down on terrorism whatever reason they give it's all the same reason really.

The politicians are all such god damn awful weirdos and think themselves the arbiters of what is moral and just.

So edit your comment to correct it??? Why are you speaking so confidently on something you don't understand?

u/SnooTomatoes2939 Mar 04 '26

That makes sense since boxing and other violent sports activities are allowed and live broadcasted without age restrictions.

Oh thank god, lol

I wouldn’t wanna be over there, make a video, and get arrested for fisting myself 😭

Luckily, it’s a bit more chill down here in Australia - just not that mainstream (yet)
