Well, our dear Government is at it again....
This time it is trying to ban violent pornography on the Web.
Firstly, they did this with sex and violence on TV in the 70/80s and this quickly degenerated in everyone's minds [ everyone that is who was against showing sex on TV ] as being interpreted as sex or violence..... That is the first fear I would have on this.
Secondly, there is the definition of sex itself [say in a BDSM sense] when consensual sadism does not necessarily have penetrative sex involved. Thus to be effective this legislation would need to cover all touch between 2 or more people where pain was involved- say that would encompass seeing childbirth on the web at possibly it's most extreme silliness. Mind a lot of sports would also need to be banned- football, rugby to name just two - that'd help the popularity of cricket :)
Thirdly, there is the definition of violence itself. Is spanking violence - must be . Is a comedy where someone throws a saucepan at her partner followed by a make up in bed part of the banned stuff- must be ?
Fourthly- how can they persuade other countries to ban these websites - it would be a huge joke..........
Once again, our dear overlords have done a kneejerk. Why do they always insist on legislation ?
The only way this could be workable is to try to ban non consensual stuff on the web whether its got violence in it or not- but that opens loads of cans of worms........
