This is, of course, a lie.
Does 'rape culture' accurately describe (many) societies?

You commenting on material that is described as barely legal in The Guardian: #3,622:
I'm totally confused: why are you pointing me to porn that is already illegal in the UK as porn that needs to be banned?
This has become a semantic rabbit hole - but the truth is, is that you have described such material as abhorrent.

It is the classic knee-jerk reaction whenever there is a manufactured controversy.

You could look at the actual law? Or would that be too much trouble....
Yep - in the UK it is entirely legal - there is simply no classification of "barely legal" - it is either legal or not.
ETA:
Just did a quick check for DVDs available in the UK, asked DuckDuckGo search for "UK sellers of pornographic DVDs", the first choice was this one:
On the page that came up, there was a search option, I type "barley" into the search option, this was the result - pixelization added by me:
Those are legally available in the UK with a BBFC classification...

Ah, techniques that actually work, as opposed to teaching abstinence.
Which despite my ability to inflict human rights crimes on members does not make it the law.

It is in this country - you have pressed that point yourself...that we don't need additional legislation. That is effectively saying that the porn taskforce don't know what they are talking about.

If you are saying there is some material that might be described as 'barely legal' that the BBFC allows, then sure - of course. Clearly, the BBFC do not find that material as comparable to the Bonnie Blue content.Yep - in the UK it is entirely legal - there is simply no classification of "barely legal" - it is either legal or not.

Again, you appear to be focusing on semantics. You have warned UK posters that watching content (that is on a par with the Bonnie Blue stuff) is illegal.
As I have shown you - the legislation already deals with any pornography that has depictions of people under the age of 18, whether they are 18 and older or not.
That does seem to be the conclusion from the evidence you have presented.
"Barely legal" is legal pornography in the UK so why would anyone expect anyone to be prosecuted for watching such material?

This is just another way of saying you don't agree with the description that is used by The Guardian, Barnardos, the porn taskforce, Rachel De Souza etc etc.
The fact is - material that many here are totally comfortable with you have described as abhorrent...viz. the Bonnie Blue classroom content (please CMIIW).

No, that is your conclusion.

Nonsense. You demand we deprive people of something they want. Something that is a livelihood for some. We don't do that without evidence.

Not everyone wants what you want. What you want bleeds over to where it isn't wanted.
Let's put it another way - some want porn so much (want easy access, free content) that they hand wave when presented with the facts about kids seeing it.
And, yes, it's verging on child sex abuse. An adult showing porn to kids in the UK is such abuse - and the porn industry doing virtually the same by wallpapering the net is guilty too.
I'm with the FTC - they are morally bankrupt...for many reasons.
Like I said, some countries ban it.

Would it be trouble for you to back up with substantive evidence when you make a claim?
Zero evidence so far.
