I mean the barely legal stuff is certainly weird. But how are you going to restrict people over 18 from doing porn, just because they look young? And pretending that this will fix pedophilia is so dumb. But I'm not sure what I even expect these days...
I keep telling people around me, the more they do to the "questionable" shit like this it's just testing the waters for ALL of it, it's all puritan culture guilt tripping BS
They may as well be honest and just ban it all tbh
The end game is probably sex isn't legal unless married, but also, you're allowed to marry 12 year olds again.
Then sex outside of marriage isn't legal.
All porn becomes illegal.
It’s a good thing England is importing people with this exact cultural view.
Sounds familiar to some countries...
