You know, there’s a fun observation to be made here: for every perversion you ban, the more niche ones move further up the view list. In essence, short of a complete porn ban (which is their final goal), they’re likely to make the problem worse.

In terms of boys learning violence from this kind of porn - surely the online safety act is doing that right? Of course not; that act has failed gloriously and this proposed change evidences that.

The real solution they should be considering is strong messages about “safe, sane, consensual”. Stick it up on posters, make it a mandatory banner on porn sites (who would complain, really), even take that shit into schools (it’s good practice even for vanilla). The real issue isn’t the acts themselves, it’s the way we talk about them, or more don’t!

Reply to edited chart - violence against adult was not as common. Violence against other kids however…

Also, 1995–2002 was peak chav ;)

I’m not from the USA so I don’t really have a clear idea on what a redneck is.

However, going from media representations (dodgy ground) I’d say no. There isn’t the strong streak of racism, and the demographic is uniquely young for chavs (since most grow out of it).

Chav is not a term to describe a working class person - it’s a term to describe a subset of youths who are pretty much feral.

By feral I mean aggressive and “antisocial” in the “are you looking at me pal” kind of response to eye contact. In essence, a youth whose primary strategy is to escalate to conflict by the shortest possible route in the hopes of winning status.

What that has to do with coming from an honest working family is beyond me!

No… that culture of violence was very very real. The stories may sound ridiculous, but that’s just because of how extreme that culture was.
