It wasn't, and I don't think your feelings on the matter are invalid in any way. I was just doing another one of my rants.
It's not kink shaming so long as you're not judging other for being into it.
You saying you're not into it and don't like even the thought of it is fine, but saying no one should be into it and degrading those who are, is kink shaming.
Thanks.
I'm sorry if I over-reacted, it is something that being in this site, has been making me extremely sensitive too. I have always had a particular dislike for that type of things. But, I was perfectly capable to NOT even think about it and go on with my life as if it truly didn't exist.
Since being here, it is an almost daily barrage of non-stop aggression. Almost every game includes a scene or more of people hitting each other, slapping, gagging etc... I feel continuously triggered. So, I have started to react, to over-react and to pre-react.
I have no longer any tolerance. Even a hint (that would go away with a sporadic use of CTRL) is now enough to make me TAB and potentially lose most of the story. A post that I could pretend I didn't read, now feels like an attack.
I try to keep myself in check, I try to be respectful, not to the kink (fuck that) but to those that have it and are still sane about it. But, the over abundance of people that, apparently, live or pretend to live in a state of permanent and continuous abuse to their partners, or, want games that are like that, or, want people to see them as abusers, as been making me be permanently on edge.
I CAN'T understand, respect or even pretend to respect anyone that actively and purposefully wants to hurt, degrade or demean another person and derive sexual gratification from it. I can't. Not anymore. When I started here in 2022, I could pretend that that was a fringe minority with no real bearing. Not anymore. Here, it seems that 6 out 10 people are (or want to role-play as) abusers. I never know if someone that seems rational and sane in many conversations, doesn't in the next second, start to defend their right to be sexually gratificated by beating someone to near death in a game, just for the sake of it... just because... and justify it because "they wanted it". Or worse, so much worse, so, so, so much worse.
Slowly, but surely, the exposure to these "kinks" has been making me gain a profound HATE for Sadists and a profound disgust for submissives. I no longer start to play games that include any of the Tags related to this type of thing. I block them and sent them to the ignore pile. I simply can't stand it anymore. I can't even play My Dorm now? GH? As this fucking Kink a right to BE in EVERY fucking game? Is really this that it is NOW considered Sex? Being a fucking asshole to the person/persons you purport to Love? Treating them worse than cattle? Is this how people want to be treated by their loved ones? Is this how nowadays people relate to each other? With violence? With humiliation? By causing Pain?
Is it really THAT relevant that in each and every fucking game, people NEED to see someone being HURT, ABUSED, RAPED, BEATEN, ASPHYXIATED, HUMILIATED? Because those 6 out of 10 maniacs that feel completely overwhelmed in their daily lives and need an escape by role-playing a rapist, are the ONLY demographic that matters anymore?
Can't no one else see the Paradox of Tolerance in effect here?
