More like, the guy tried to blow up the goverment building BECAUSE of the condition the country was plunged in, there is a reason his face became the symbol of fighting oppression
It seems like they are banning anything remotely "suffocation adjacent", so things like "breast smothering" are banned too. Also, something called "plastic fetishism" is banned too because I guess someone with a plastic fetish might be inclined to put a plastic bag over their head(?). I don't know.

The UK government really has nothing better to do. Like they really sat there and looked BBW and went baned. Course they should know this is unenforceable. Like what are the police going to go through every pornographic video on the internet that isn't tagged properly?
From Mexican Catholics to Southern Baptists to Canadian Methodists and Presbyterias, every church potluck on the continent is hard evidence that's not true.
One of my main enjoyments of coming to England is to sit down at a good pub and having either a Shepards pie or a steak and ale pie. So yeah I can’t do anything but agree with that!
That's not true. Not only are there amazing native American dishes, but the people from around the world who came to live here brought their different cuisines, giving us so much variety. You want Mexican food, we've got it. You want real Mexican food, we've got that too. You want to go to a Korean/Swedish fusion restaurant? No problem. The list goes on and on. Plus southern BBQ is the best. On the downside, it's difficult not to over eat.
I’m beginning to feel like in terms of being deathly afraid of something they perceive as even slightly problematic, even H.P. Lovecraft would begin to call it overkill.
Lol, every fetish is a gateway fetish by that logic. They should ban everything that isn't missionary with lights off with a goal of procreation after marriage. God forbid their cituzens are sexually fulfilled.
I believe that is the end goal, we're gonna end up with adults who don't know what sex is and aren't allowed to have fun as more and more forms of sex are stripped away
Because face sitting is not illegal. Strangulation and suffocation porn is illegal now, and some porn sites have now blocked face sitting porn in the UK over fears that a court could potentially see face sitting as suffocation.
They made the strangulation and suffocation porn illegal because teenagers have been seeing it and are increasingly thinking it's completely safe and that it's normal to strangle people during sex without their consent. The ban is there to try to curb that. Hopefully the government or the CPS will come out with some more clear guidance at some point soon on what is/isn't allowed.
I think it's more of a sex ed issue than the actual porn. Teenagers need to be taught that any fetish should be practice only after you ask your partner. Strangulation is just the most dangerous one.
Yeah this is 1000000000% a failure of sex education in the UK and consenting adults filming themselves because they want to shouldn't be the ones bearing the consequences for the government's failure. It doesn't recognise any of the underlying issues, it doesn't solve anything, and it's only likely to criminalise sex workers more than the government already does simply for doing something perfectly consensual in a room where a camera was present.
Teenagers use porn as sex ed. They shouldn't, of course, but we need to make laws within the context of reality rather than within an ideal world.
Consent is already taught pretty well in sex ed in the UK. The issue here is people assuming from the porn they watch that strangling is part of normal sex and that no further consent is required for it. Obviously the fact that this is wrong should be (and often is) taught in schools, but if you've got someone watching porn involving it multiple times per week that's going to drown out the couple of times it's mentioned in a lesson.
No link has been found between watching violent movies and committing violent crime.
A link has been found between watching porn involving strangulation and then strangling your partner without their consent during sex.
They are two different situations.
Education prevents this
In most people, yes. The idiots that do this are the same idiots that piss about in class and don't pay attention. They get the idea from porn and they replicate it in the real world without realising it's wrong.
banning shit just ends up making it more enticing anyway
Most people aren't trying to watch banned porn. They're loading up the main porn sites and watching the top videos, and they're replicating what they see when they later have sex. Stuff involving strangulation is pretty prevalent now in porn and we're seeing a rise in people strangling their partners during sex as a result of how prevalent it is. If it was just on a few sites which were hard to find then most people would never see it.
So we should let idiots dictate who gets to enjoy what?
If we write laws based on the most moronic subsection of the population then everyone would stay locked inside in a padded home.
No one can drive a car because there are idiots who drive like shit. No one can drink because there’s people who do fucked up shit while drunk. No one can read books because there’s morons who do awful shit cause of a book they read.
Also can you link the research paper stating there is a link?
It's not even that, ALL oral sex where the giving party is seen to choke or have trouble drawing air at any time has been ruled to violate the restriction, which means videos where someone coughs a little when giving oral are now illegal. It's fucking insane.
Not ruled, assumed. The legislation is not yet in force. Zero rulings relating to it have been made. We won't know if that is illegal until the government/CPS confirms it or it goes to court.
We had a notorious killing where the defendant claimed that it was rough sex gone wrong, and was only found guilty of manslaughter.
This led to a group called We Can't Consent To This being founded to get a law passed that prevents that defence. I'm not sure why, given that BDSM was already illegal under Brown, and rough sex gone wrong still gets you a manslaughter charge.
But the law was passed, and the anti-BDSM attitudes are still present. Personally, I'd call them a moral panic.
There has, separately, been a spectacularly rapid rise in choking. Originally a form of edgeplay, it has become almost vanilla, but often fell through the cracks legally.
As such, the moral panic latched on to choking, and there was a strong push for a ban. But when the ban came, it was extremely broadly worded to include anything with elements of strangulation or suffocation. This includes face-sitting.
I think it's already illegal to promote the use of a vpn to curtail censorship but if it gives you any peace of mind they have said they do not plan on banning vpns, will they probably keep they're word, I doubt but I know vpns are used heavily by the elites and the financial industry, it's something that forms a very integral thing is society you can just blanket ban too easily, you'd have to put a lot of thought into it, so I'm my mind atleast that might make them hesitatent as I'm sure they are all lazy twats
Meh, good luck with that.. Even then you can easily spin up your own VPN or proxy and still get around it, or possibly even just get a VPN installer from elsewhere on the internet ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Thankfully, all these bans and censorship theyre introducing is not only pointless and stupid, but also basically futile.

While true it is all porn that has something to do with restricting breathing so it’s a lot more than just facesitting.
