Renegade Evolution: It’s late, I can’t sleep, and I am obsessing over this new UK porn law…

Linking to Ren, because she said it (a couple days ago; I've been busy grading papers) better than I could. I usually don't quote entire posts, but I'm gonna quote all of this one. (There are images to go with it, follow the link if you want to see. But if you're in the UK, you might not want to *gnashing of teeth*)

Renegade Evolution: It’s late, I can’t sleep, and I am obsessing over this new UK porn law…

Seriously, I am. Even though it’s all the way over there in the UK, it’s freakin’ me out. The precedent it sets scares the shit out of me. FFS, I don’t even do BDSM porn, except for on the most rare of occasions…but yeah, Mr.E and I sat around looking at my shit playing the very chilling “Would we get arrested in the UK for having this on the PC?” game. Even though it’s consentingly made by adults stuff with me in it??? I mean, okay, I’m not gonna put up actual full on out all the bits showin’ porn, but…

I mean…a photo with an “endangering” looking chokehold? A photo with a knife, positioned menacingly? Good thing I respect some of y’all’s feelings and standards of decency and left the ones with the (unloaded, of course) gun out… Er…I’d need a good lawyer. And I don’t even want to get into “things which look like they might cause damage to the breasts, anus or genitals”…I mean, whose? And who gets to decide what looks like it might? Cause see, to me, fisting and dp/vag dp/anal dp and stuff…doesn’t hurt, wouldn’t damage, no big deal…but to someone who has never had a dick up their ass, it could look most damaging! Is that sort of thing even going to be taken into consideration? Things like “humm, BDSM enthusiasts and rough sex lovers and, well, porn people are more prepared, knowledgeable and experienced with this sort of thing than, oh, say, Constable Smith who pinches up his ass cheeks tighter than Fort Knox even thinking about anal sex or Concerned Citizen Sally who has never, or never even had the desire to get…ahem…pounded by more than one dick (real or synthetic) at the same time? My God, what would they make of the infamous foot? Who is going to set the standards for this shit? And seriously, if I, oh, free of charge or something want to send person X in the UK a photo of me getting railed up the ass while being choked, even though person X is an adult, and I’m an adult, and all are consenting…person X could get jailed and or fined for it…even though s/he’s not involved in the act itself…at all????

Talk about getting thrown over a barrel and royally fucked!

I honestly can’t believe the country that gave us the Stones, the Sex Pistols, Ozzy, Siouxsie and the Clash has passed this law.

Disbelief. Utter disbelief.
