Nearing 30 and deep in many fandoms!

I just can’t get my head behind this indulgent nanny statism.

From 6 Nov 2026, new provisions of the Crime and Policing Act 2026 will criminalise possession of certain types of porn in England & Wales, with offenders facing up to THREE YEARS in prison. THREE YEARS

This has been gnawing at me for DAYS.

It is quite a crude subject so i can understand why people might not want to discuss it over tea. BUT the implications for individual liberty are worth examining

I don’t particularly like porn or sex work. Neither appeals to me. In fact i find both degenerate & exploitative.

But the Govt isn’t seeking to ban either outright. Instead it’s selectively criminalising certain depictions, including some involving adults roleplaying sexual acts that aren’t necessarily unlawful in themselves…

I have no difficulty supporting prohibitions on child sexual abuse material. In fact i welcome it

BUT I do question criminalising depictions of oral sex for example, “face sitting”, involving consenting adults.

Is there sufficient evidence that watching something causes someone to commit sexual violence? And even if exposure influences behaviour, does that justify criminalising private possession?

At what point does the state stop preventing sexual violence and start policing private sexual fantasy?

Feminism has fought for women’s bodily autonomy, sexual freedom & protection from coercion. But doesn’t protecting women risk becoming paternalistic when the state starts determining which consensual sexual expressions are acceptable?

John Stuart Mill’s harm principle seems particularly relevant here… the exercise of power over an individual against their will requires justification by reference to harm to others not merely moral disapproval

We ought to be able to distinguish between what is immoral, what is distasteful, what is dangerous and what ought to be CRIMINAL . . .

And if we’re going to start sending people to prison for what they privately watch, I’d rather hope we can offer a more convincing justification than an article about throat cancer 😂

The UK might as well ban:
- Alcohol — Group 1 carcinogen. Causes 7 cancers (breast, bowel, mouth, throat, oesophagus, liver). ~10,500 alcohol-specific deaths/year in the UK; the real toll including cancers is far higher.

- Football — Former Scottish pros 3.5× more likely to die of neurodegenerative disease (Glasgow FIELD study). Defenders ~5×. Goalkeepers (who rarely head) same as the general population. Plus yesterday’s fatal collision.

- Tobacco — Still ~80,000 deaths a year in the UK. Causes ~1 in 5 cancer deaths.

- Nightclubs / live music — UK dance floors routinely hit 95–110 dB. Safe exposure at those levels is minutes, not hours. Regular clubbing linked to permanent hearing damage and tinnitus.

- Traditional British food — 82% of UK adults exceed saturated fat guidelines (NDNS). High-fat diets help drive the UK’s leading killer: heart disease.

But no. Watching Facesitting is dangeous and needs banning and jailtime. 😱

UPDATE on ao3(.)life:

OTW is aware of the site and is already taking action. They’ve asked people NOT to send personal information, and they do not need additional reports about this right now — more reports may only bog things down.

I need a Buck and Eddie scene that involves Buck running to Eddie in the rain, with the song stop the wedding playing.

Buck grabbing his Diaz and going in for a big old smooch as it pours down and they just giggle as the love pours 🫗 ❤️

Ahh AO3, curse whoever broke you!!
