(36,927 posts)Notice how the OP conflates non-consensual activity (torture of animals) with consensual activity (BDSM).
Other posters claim it's really about this material causing people to engage in non-consensual activity (sexual assault), when sexual assault is down 50% over the exact same time period when BDSM content has skyrocketed. So regardless of what their 'theory' is, it doesn't line up with reality.
So yes, you have a lot of people trying desperately to make this about something it's not, but it really does boil down to people telling other consenting adults what they can and can't do. There's already too many far right loons trying to dictate their morality on consenting adults. Why anyone who calls themselves a progressive or a liberal would want to jump on that bandwagon is beyond me.
