ORIGINAL: ChatteParfaitt ...If you go to a play party where others are engaged in something you find distasteful, you have the option to leave, to complain to the host, whatever. BUT, it is implied that your very presence is assumed consent for being exposed to kinks you may find objectionable. Isn't the same true here in this online venue? That was sort of my point. The OP has been heavily criticized for exposing others to his kink, without their consent. But this is a kink website that people elect to join (or leave) and this is a thread that people choose to read (or not). His username is not against TOS. His avatar may be, but apparently no one has reported it. His choice of thread topic is not against TOS. If the argument is that by entering this place, you are tacitly giving consent for being exposed to other people's kinks (at least within TOS), then everyone on this thread, by their very presence here, has consented to being exposed to his. At very least, they have consented to read the material in the thread. What surprises me is the startling contrast between the responses on this thread, which suggest that consent in such a place is not implied and each person bears the responsibility not to expose others to his kink if the others don't wish it, and the responses on the thread I linked, which suggest that consent in such a place is implied and that people do not bear the responsibility of not exposing others to their kinks; to the contrary, that the responsibility lies with the person who objects to remove himself from whatever situation he considers offensive. To be perfectly clear, I'm not saying that either of those positions is right or wrong. I'm simply saying that they contradict one other. quote:
...This group, like ALL groups, has it own unspoken rules. Just like a play party may have a non spoken 'nothing overtly sexual in public' rule, another group may have a 'no edge play in public' rule, etc. What you do in the privacy of your own home and what you do in public, even if it is a BDSM group, is often different, and most people are socialized to the extent they conform to these unspoken rules. If they don't or can't, it's the DM's or host's job to explain the rules and ensure compliance. I think the unspoken expectations of this forum have now been adequately explained to the OP, and if he continues to offend he won't be able to use ignorance as an excuse. quote:
The OP over-stepped the second he chose his screen name, IMO. That tells me he LOVED the attention he got, and reveled in the idea he could make so many uncomfortable with his 'humiliation.' I believe his explanation that whatever offense he caused was unintentional.
