ORIGINAL: LafayetteLady You aren't the only one lizi. With your instructor, while I understand she doesn't like it, it also isn't very professional looking. I'm sure that while you guys have to wear shorts, they can't be too short for the same reason. The thing is that this really isn't about "humiliation." The undertone is making fun of those who are religious and that is what is wrong with it. Look at bitatrouble's "suggestions." They almost all involve bringing the public into the "humiliation" play. Walk into a church dressed like a school girl and go to confession? I mean really? In order to get your own kink on (general your), you should never have to resort to disrespecting a group of people. How about if she was Jewish and to humiliate her, he decided she should walk around with a yellow star of David sewn to all her clothes? Is THAT ok? Or maybe asking her to wear little Hitler happy faces? Would that be ok, or does that become offensive to people? It all comes back to the stupidity of the statement, "your kink is not my kink, but you can do whatever you want, and it is ok." The reality is that there are things where there is a line in the sand, and decent people don't cross it. Yes, this was what I was getting at, thank you for clarifying. I don't feel good about disparaging or mocking something that is a core value to a large number of people. Even if they never know about it, I'd think less of myself and anyone I was intimately involved with. What others want to do is their choice, it's just never going to be something I can get behind because to me, at the center of that type of thing is an ugliness that I don't want to stoop to. Playing with it seems almost worse to me than outright, clear, measured, disrespect because you have strong ideas against it. Making fun of things like that leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I also agree with Ishtarr quote:
I agree with this. Most of the suggestions made on this thread, so far, involve forcing others to participate in a person's kink. Usually when such a topic is brought up everybody is up in arms and pissed off, and can't wait to chastise the OP for being disgusting and so on, for even considering to involve innocent bystanders in their kink. Why is this topic suddenly so different? Why is it suddenly okay to make innocent bystanders feel uncomfortable, or to force them in a situation they don't want to be in? Why is okay to force others to partake in kinky role-play that involves religion, but it wouldn't be okay to do with other kinds of role-play? Why is it ok to involve others in this? I can see that it's my own personal distaste for the private mockery that is on me, but why is it ok to do the more public things? Lets understand here that I have no taste for religion, it's something very far away from my own life. My uber religious sister drives me bananas, but I wouldn't want my sister's belief's mocked like that even if I don't share them. Is that different than when people here say they don't want kink out in the open where their children and elderly grandmother can be confronted with it? Having someone playing games and saying "Praise the Lord" or asking people if they're saved smacks of putting kink out into public because don't tell me that no one would know the difference between real belief or subtle mockery. How about making fun of the flag or being disrespectful to it? How many people would find that ok to do? That's usually a pretty touchy subject for Americans.
