Yeah I was going to say, there's literally entire porn studios dedicated to cranking (heh pun) out step sibling roleplay porn. This is like jailing someone for simply being sent a link, or searching for "milf" and having the results implicate them in a crime.

"OPEN UP! STEP-POLICE!!"

scientology is pretend and should be several crimes

Lolicon is also pretend child porn.

Back to plumbers and pizza delivery scenes.

Congress set to pass new legislation regulating the spacing of vertical posts in banisters

The manufacturer of the washing machine needs to get a cut of the proceeds, now.

OK, so I'm basically sympathetic to this position, but we have to recognize that when we create a positive law like this, it's tricky. Part of what makes a good positive law is a clear, obvious, simple line. As an example: 18 (or any specific number) as age of consent. Why is it good? It's clear, obvious, and simple. As much as libertarians do the "BUT WHAT ABOUT 17 years and 364 DAYS" cope, the fact is, we have decided upon a line as a society and thus we (somewhat arbitrarily - one could make arguments for 20, or 21 as more acceptable!) have decided 18 years is that line. "Age ain't nothing but a number" - yes, but you have to abide by the law you perverts.

I don't know what the "clear simple and obvious" here is. After all, as you note, there's nothing inherently wrong with wearing school uniforms for sexual acts among two consenting adults. Similarly, there's nothing inherently right about a 40 year old having sex with an 18 year old. However, in the latter, it's a clear legal issue (disgusting morality aside). Partner over 18, not illegal, partner under 18, gulag. While I do like the addition of "big platforms" here, I just don't know what the proper line looks like. Are clothes that seem schoolgirl-ish unacceptable (so aping a uniform but not actually using a uniform)? It's just hard to police, legally speaking.

I want to make it totally clear: I don't think that "over 18" magically absolves people of immoral behavior. Power dynamics and age dynamics are a thing, but we can't as a society police this stuff (as much as I'd love to). Similarly, I don't think that "barely legal" material is somehow worth defending in the particular, rather, understanding what an effective ban looks like matters here. Thus, we have to use a clear demarcation that is arbitrary and brightly colored. I don't know what that looks like w/r/t the content of pornography, beyond the participation of underage parties being illegal/no snuff films/no scenarios that claim to represent illegal acts (so here, you can't "say" the actress is 16 even when actually of age - which remains a very clear and obvious line).

Final postscript: this is also not a defense of nonce island's legislation, I think we all agree those people are not acting in good faith.

Yeah. I'm normally pretty libertine about kinks and alternative sexuality, but any inkling that a character might be underage is an instant mood killer.

(It also means I have a bone to pick with certain parts of the Deltarune fandom. The trio are in high school, this isn't even subtext, it's just text (okay, Ralsei isn't in high school because he lives in the Dark World, but he's clearly meant to be in the same age cohort as Kris and Susie))

If we want a closer comparison, this law potentially makes cousin porn illegal while at the same time the government has been defending the right to cousin marriage.

I was about to say, isn't this how their whole government runs?

Step Off

what if the landlord is killed and the adult tenants in the building have an orgy?

Also is game of thrones now illegal in perfidious Albion

Star Wars? banned

We haven't had enough wh*res who steal lemons lately.

Thanks to gig ~~grifts~~ economy the (to-the-)step-delivery person is now out of a job & can't pay rent.
