    You guys in the UK better burn any copies of Game of Thrones you might have around. The show wasn’t that good as to be worth the jail time.

    On a side note, is the UK alright?

      No, the UK is not alright. They’ve been banning a lot of stuff lately. And I mean a lot. It’s comparable to even the Deep South of the US, and that’s hardly an exaggeration. The worst part is that most of it seems to truly be a bipartisan effort.

      No, the UK is not alright. They are worse off than the US, less the blowhard leadership. As of yet.

        That’s just because the favored style for populists in the UK is “posh twat” rather than “loud blowhard”, making them a lot harder to spot unless you’re familiar with British (especially English) culture.

      I remember reading a while ago that, because you can’t have full incest in porn, the Game of Thrones porn parody (or, at least, one of them) was LESS explicit than the show.

      And no. No we’re not. I doubt many places are.

        Wait… Are you implying that incest is actually banned in porn, and that’s why it’s always step-relations? I thought it was just because the majority are disgusted by incest… I don’t think actual incest is even illegal in most places…

          I decided to look it up, just to be sure. Specifics vary based on where you are, but depicting anything too extreme is generally gonna be illegal. Even if it’s legal in the bedroom, it’s not necessarily legal in porn.

          Heck, I’m British, and the age of consent is 16. It’s 18 in porn, though.
