Pretty mad that the law allows you to sleep with as many 16 year olds as you like but as soon as they text you a picture of their tits you’re a paedo

Let's not forget that while the Sun is screaming about how disgraceful all this is, they were more than happy to print topless pictures of 16 and 17yr olds on Page 3. Didn’t they do the countdown to Charlotte Church’s 16th birthday back in the day? I think you’re conflating two things. Daily Star did a countdown to Natalie Banus whipping her top off. May have been the Star again, comments about Charlotte Church’s chest starting to show with a photo and headline something like “Looking Swell” Edit: Found it Daily Star judging by the typeface. The irony is the complaints about the Brass Eye: Peadageddon episode on the facing page.

I didn’t say I was angry about it, it’s just a strange state where a 16 year old is deemed old enough to consent to having sex, but too young to make a decision about photograph of themselves

Meanwhile, social media doing it's usual fine detective work and naming people who are either currently on air or about to go on air.
Slow clap.
Bad day to call in genuinely sick if you're due on, though.

It's pretty funny that a lot of the accounts throwing names around have blue ticks. That will make it nice and easy for the authorities to identify them.

Just seen someone asking if the BBC's footage of the Queen's death being announced will now have to be shelved for eternity.

This one may transpire to be day after so no law was ever broken and no name is ever released. Weird. Though old men paying young lasses for tit pics is generally creepy as fuck. Especially 35k.

I only know from reading the articles on it, the only reason it’s being investigated is that the age of consent for indecent images is 18. Something I’d no idea of being the case previously

Yeah the law confuses me a bit there. The Protection of Children Act 1978 says that it is a crime to take, make, share and possess indecent images of people under 18, and no one can consent to having nude pics taken of them until 18, but the newspapers were featuring topless girls as young as 16 right up to when I was at university. Am I right in thinking the act was tweaked in the early 2000s to raise the age from 16 to 18?

Just looking at the Rear of the Year wikipedia page... bit weird when you look back at it.
The 1982 winner Suzi Quatro commented: "I’ve been told since I was about eight or nine that I had a nice bum... So, when I won the award, I was actually quite proud."
Ew.

That was still in the era where women had to lean into casual sexism or risk get branded a killjoy feminist and blackballed from the industry, so you can’t really judge her for it.
I watched a documentary about her and her life was full of shit like that. Her first husband was a right ugly bastard and still cheated on her.

IIRC Page 3 was exploiting some sort of loophole in not being considered sexual imagery. Like how you can show pictures of naked children in ads for nappies or even textbooks about biology etc.
