A double standard for adult content

This is my opinion on the topic of a bill outlawing the possession of “extreme pornography” which is set to become law next week. Here’s the BBC article

Why does porn get a different set of standards? It’s perfectly legal to show non-pornographic films which contain “an act which threatens or appears to threaten a person’s life”. In fact in many non-pornographic films we see people seriously assaulted or killed yet no-one applies the same standard to these. If adults can tell the difference between fiction and reality in other films why single out films of a pornographic nature for this harsher treatment?

For once my comment spam on this might actually be on topic.
