Fifty Shades of Grey Would Be Banned in UK?

As I understand it, it&#x27;s either now illegal or will be illegal (in the UK) to sell&#x2F;possess&#x2F;something footage of two consenting adults who are not engaged in rape, but are simulating rape. They simulate this through force, words, threats, all that sort of thing. So if that&#x27;s illegal, even though it&#x27;s provably not an actual rape (depending on who made it, obviously, but in theory we could call up the participants to check, or if they let the cameras keep running someone will shout &quot;Cut&quot; and they stop and go for a coffee), what protects similar scenes of simulated rape in books (if indeed they should be protected)?<p>I must say the idea of FSoG being banned does make me think there&#x27;s an upside to this :p

I think a more notable example included in that is A Clockwork Orange, which clearly depicts (simulated) rape. Is this classic now going to be illegal to distribute online in the UK?

How much of this is the old political trick of creating a law that is overly broad and nuanced only to come back and refine it to something slightly more specific later? Perhaps the plan all along has been to create something that will cause outrage so that people don&#x27;t complain when the next version comes around that&#x27;s only slightly better, but still worse off than before.

It is not banned in the UK.<p>The proposed laws are stupid, but making shit up is not useful for discussion.<p>We went through the same nonsense when the Sexual Offences Act 2003 was introduced, and yet we can still walk into shops and buy American Beauty and other films.

Phase 1. Set up a surveillance state &amp; keep a record of everything that your victims&#x2F;subjects do.<p>Phase 2. Pass legislation that people cannot meaningfully object to, yet is worded so vaguely and in such woolly terms that it tars a significant section of the population with the same brush.<p>Phase 3. Profit!<p>.... Finally, a 3-step plan to profit that does not involve underpants!

So now the UK is turning into saudi arabia ? or is it iran ?<p>Anyone who is choked when they hear about alcohol or porn banned in these countries and is not choked by this move from the UK government has a serious mental problem.

Food for thought: The Bible contains depictions of rape. Maybe this law isn&#x27;t so bad after all...

Been a while since I read it and, honestly, I wasn&#x27;t really taking that much notice but I don&#x27;t remember any forcible or coercive rape in FSOG.

My kindle contains The Pillars of the Earth (Ken Follett), so now I can&#x27;t travel to uk without violating the law?<p>Quoting from wikipedia: &quot;The book was listed at no. 33 on the BBC&#x27;s Big Read&quot; (2003)<p>Everybody is a suspect, when will we start to learn from history?

wouldn&#x27;t that logic mean that both the koran and the bible are banned too?

Plus they&#x27;re big on removing child pornography so we can also say good bye to Lolita as well.

This is the first I&#x27;ve heard about books being banned. I&#x27;m extremely skeptical of this claim.

Cameron was looking good until recently with his crackdown (however slight) on our disgraceful benefit system. And now he looks to censor the population under the guise of protecting children (teaching them how to protect themselves is probably a better option). This country is rapidly going downhill as our freedoms are slowly reduced.<p>--<p>That said, an opt-in porn filter for parents is always going to be a good&#x2F;useful thing. But we all know any determined individual (and I&#x27;d suspect many young-ish people) will bypass these blockades in no time at all, just as we have with Kickass&#x2F;TPB.

It&#x27;s likely that this will be an extension of s63 of existing &#x27;extreme pornography&#x27; ban in s63 etc. of the Criminal Justice and Immigration Act 2008. <a href="http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2008/4/part/5/crossheading/pornography-etc" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.legislation.gov.uk&#x2F;ukpga&#x2F;2008&#x2F;4&#x2F;part&#x2F;5&#x2F;crossheadi...</a><p>That only covers images (including video) and does not cover films that have been classified as a 15, 18 etc., i.e. most commercial&#x2F;cinema films.

What about all the prison rape scenes in movies?? Will this make them illegal? Or as they are same sex, they don&#x27;t count? Would be interesting to see if they classify them as perversion or something similar instead of rape. With this current government, it would not surprise me if they say that a same sex rape victim is asking for it or something...

&quot;Possess&quot; should also be in quotes, as this law applies to online pr0n.

Oh no, this new wave of UK anti-porn zealotry will ban even legitimate literature like 50 Shades of Grey... Give me a break. 50 Shades of Grey is a porn novel. It&#x27;s a porn novel that made the best seller list, much to the first world&#x27;s embarrassment and I&#x27;ll bet you anything that it&#x27;s what prompted this law in the first place. There are a lot of legitimate reasons to be concerned about this new proposed law, but I won&#x27;t shed a tear for 50 Shades.
