What the fuck? I looked at that title and thought there was no way I am reading this right, but yep I am.

I mean, a large chunk of the porn these days is incest based. When I read the title I wondered why it was news.

The title is down playing it. It was child porn he was exchanging.

Is incest porn illegal? I assumed it was child porn in the article. Seems like “step” incest porn is everywhere. Always thought it was pretty gross tbh. The “step” thing always seemed like a thinly veiled wink and nod type of thing.

Generally not. However in some contexts "incest" refers specifically to fathers raping their daughters

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You'd still call that child porn tho. Weird phrasing in the headline.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think they're trying to say that in some circumstances the "daughter" could be an adult. It would still be rape (in this example) but not child abuse.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not in this instance though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Agreed. However, you did reply to a comment that specifically said "in some contexts".

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I know that incest itself is illegal in many places, so it's not a far stretch for actual incest porn to be illegal. I'd imagine it's a state by state thing.
