"We just wanna protect the children surely you can't think that it's okay for children to see things like this aaaaaaaaaaaand now we're trying to ban things that are explicitly defined as legal because you let us establish the idea that we can use state violence to enforce taste."

The UK has been doing that since at least the Victorian era; it's not the USA, it doesn't share the USA's position about freedom of expression being paramount.

Slightly more recently: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Chatterley's_Lover

Bonnie Blue as a modern day Lillie Langtry (1853-1929):

“who for a while became the semi-official mistress of the future Edward VII. When Edward once complained, ‘I’ve spent enough on you to buy a battleship,’ Lillie retorted, ‘And you’ve spent enough in me to float one!’”

While I find such a thing utterly uninteresting, I must admit the sheer logistics of pulling something like that off successfully is somewhat impressive.
