It has not gone unnoticed (re: porn)

46. Yes, that's exactly where the context came from.

There was a thread about the new anti-porn law in the UK that criminalized the mere possession of "rape porn", even if it simply depicted entirely consensual BDSM. While most of the posters in the thread thankfully condemned the action as meddling in the private bedrooms of consenting adults, a number of posters immediately embraced the move and attacked those of us who defended the simple idea that consenting adults have the ability to make their own choices and that the government has no right to regulate either the sexual behavior of individuals or the publication of FICTION.

Over the past couple of days, those of us who choose to engage in BDSM have been accused of being everything from "deranged", to "mentally unstable", to "abusive monsters" in these threads. Those who have chosen to merely defend the right of adults to make their own sexual choices have been called everything from "rape enablers" to "woman hating sexists". The fact that some have pushed back is only natural.
