The Ministry of Justice said that possessing and publishing porn showing incest between family members and sex between step or foster relatives where one person pretends to be under-18 would be a crime.

This reads like its only banned if someone also pretends to be under 18?

IDK but I thought porn depicting minors was generally banned in most countries?

don't know if porn depicting an adult pretending to be a minor actually qualifies, but that feels like an extremely thorny topic.

Eventually a line needs to be drawn. I think that publishing porn of any sort that flirts with cp is not acceptable, step or not. Same for loli anime content or the whole doll bullshit : if it looks like a kid just don’t.

All the rest if fine as long as it’s consensual.

@a4ng3l "What I personally approve of is acceptable and should be legal. What I personally DISapprove of is NOT acceptable, and should lead to people who didn't actually hurt anyone suffering consequences."

Congratulations. You're an authoritarian. Go find your nearest Deform office and sign up.

Just remember, if authoritarianism is ever outlawed, YOU'LL be the one in the barrel. Don't complain, though: You already petitioned for that outcome.

Yeah no, my opinion is based on work I had access to in the line of internet censorship handling as someone working in an ISP. They had pretty compelling reasoning related to how this fuels the tendencies of pedo towards actually fulfilling their deviance. You can read about that online, there’s a lot of supporting evidence of such a link. Also it is such a weird hill to die on…

I would like to see the evidence, since this argument of "Watching X causes X" or "Playing videogames with X causes X" comes up again and again and is debunked every time serious research was done into it. It would be very surprising to me if this one was somehow an exception. But if there is good evidence of causation (not just correlation) then I can be surprised.

"Depicting" a minor means giving the impression of a minor.

So here in Australia I think even say hentai depicting a person viewing is likely to conclude is a minor, would be illegal.
