Unrelated additional discourse post: hey. If you’re someone into weird shit (anything you personally think is weird, no matter how taboo it actually is). For the love of all that is holy and unholy and for the sake of your sanity:

Do not fucking throw stones from glass houses.

I cannot count on my fingers how many times I’ve seen kinksters, paraphiles, fetishists, general porn enjoyers, who are into fucking crazy shit either openly or in private, and yet they still have the audacity to throw stones at their ilk. This is about actual judgment and even outright scorn, not squicks or limits, or light-hearted teasing. ACTUAL targeted anger, disgust, and malice with little regards for respecting the other person is what I’m referring to here, just so we’re fully clear.

If you are openly into non-con, I don’t think you’re in any position to judge someone for being into incest. If you’re into gore, you’re in no position to judge someone for liking cub. If you’re into piss, you’re in no position to judge someone for liking feet.

And trust me, the more stones you throw, the more people (regardless of how much they ACTUALLY care about your fetish) are to start pelting you back. And at that point, you’re beyond sympathy-- you reap what you sow, and what you sowed was toxicity and moral superiority where you could’ve been fostering understanding and connections.

Do not throw stones from glass houses.
