Happy new year all, may the guys among you get busted in the nuts really h-... oh, you're not into CBT?
Ah, nonetheless... 
I don't like findom, but I don't think findom really deserves special government attention. It can easily become exploitative, sure, but not being an idiot is first a personal responsibility. Not saying you shouldn't punish gross exploitation, but we've seen government attempts to fight online sexual exploitation and it usually affects fictional consensual stuff too. And like Mister M said, it's not the same as with smoking.
Anyway, when I hear someone lost so much money on findom, I think it's said but I also think people like that are probably undertaxed. By at least a third of their income.
About people asking about if femdom's avoidable... First, it's probably a good idea for a dev to be really clear about this themself, it helps with targeting the right audience.
KG's OP is pretty gold with this. Second, hard femdom where a domme gains real power over the sub's regular life
really doesn't mix well with a few kinds of fetish mixed bags like the male protagonist harem with designated fetishist LIs or the male-protagonist-fucks-half-the-town-on-casual-basis games. So.... a bit more specialisation than that may be smart for a dev.
Bindr and NiF count as specialised for this example, though. There's imo a difference between a dedicated bdsm game with femdom and maledom options and a mixed bag of whatever fetishes. Third, if you ask if the femdom in
Total Femdom Chainsaw Emasculation Massacre is avoidable, you're likely not smart.
Ok, to give my 2 cents on the whole findom divide, I think it is a perfectly valid kink and therefore that it should not be illegal. At the end of the day, if throwing away your money to a domme should be illegal, shouldn't superchats to streamers also be illegalised? Ludicrously high patreon tiers? Where would one even draw the line?
Won't findommes be priced out of the market under you high-tax socialists? Or would the market in sex work just be abolished?
But living up to my nation's reputation for finding compromises and having totally not self-interested negotiations,
trust me, trust me, I offer a middle ground: a public option for findom. Basically, the tax service expands its communication department with specialised staff who send custom messages to people who opt in for findom on their tax reports. They could even cooperate with other departments: "Don't lie to your mistress! Do you have a secret Swiss bank account, miserable worm?"
Honestly I have no idea what findommes actually say, but I expect it's cringy. Hell, they could even hire many of the same university-age ladies for this, they'd get a stable salary and their CV would just say "tax service". Perfect win win.
For the record, I'm into findom only in fiction (games/stories etc), the same way I can be into femdom scat, mind control or life-long enslavement stories, (eg I don't really engage in it IRL, even though I can find a femdom narrative centered around financial domination, humiliation and the ruin it can bring to a sub's life captivating and hot if well-written) and I don't deny that people can easily get scammed on the internet if they are into it, and that's regretable ofc, but at the end of the day there's a billion ways someone could get scammed out of their money on the web if they're naive, (shoutout to the Nigerian princes that have a million dollars for you out there) so I'd never want it banned or illegalised...
Tbh, a Nigerian prince running findom scams has a lot of angles. Like a findomme who has to fight competition from Nigerian scammers. Or a findomme who sissyfies or feminises a Nigerian scammer, probably fits in
Aquin25's products... Okay, I should take this out of this thread.
