too many people my age conflate shipping ideologies with IRL kinkplay, at least too many people my age who care too much about online discourse. it is discouraging to enter a kink space and see people getting upset with the word "daddy", the moral implications of cnc/dubcon, etc. shipping and kink are two lines that should never cross. what two people consent to and roleplay is quite frankly, not your business, and it is not your place to police it. you can dislike a kink all you want, you don't have to participate in things that make you uncomfortable, but villainizing others because they like to be called daddy or because they are into hardcore s/m is saddening. you are just a baby in the kink community, especially if you are my age. acting like you have a right to police and run the place when people have been a part of the community for longer than you've been alive is a bit insulting. it is incredible i have felt a need to say anything about this. yes, there are of course problems in the kink community, but being a moral police officer is still exhausting for everyone involved. and i am sorry, but people being called daddy is not a problem.
call out people who use the guise of kink to abuse, don't waste callouts on people who have run of the mill kinks. i'm sorry not everyone has your tastes, but perhaps you shouldn't venture into kink spaces if you aren't open minded. you can be firm on likes and dislikes without judging others as morally disgusting for not having the same likes/dislikes. yes, fiction impacts reality, but consenting adults are aware of what they are getting into and roleplaying, that is why there are safewords and safety lines in place in a proper encounter. life is rarely ever purely black and white, and the world of kink is definitely one with many shades of grey. if you can't handle that, you shouldn't participate in the first place. take your puritan pearl clutching elsewhere. once again i am not saying you need to like kinks, but if you can't have an open mind, you shouldn't be entering kink communities in the first place. there are almost an infinite number of kinks and fetishes. you'll find some real weird stuff! you don't have to like it at all to still have an open mind and not immediately cast people off as immoral pieces of shit.
too many people are trigger happy to bring the church into someone else's bedroom, for lack of better terminology. your puritan values come from somewhere, and if you can't kill that puritan cop in your head, don't come into kink spaces and expect them to bend to your will.
