i kinda like the cuddle safe word stuff too.
I like it too.
The more vocal folks in this group take it very far, though. Like saying if you find non-con stories arousing, you are exactly the same as a real life rape apologist. Someone else argued that that’s probably more a case of some people just being judgemental idiots, though, so… What that leaves us with is basically the BDSM version of Captain Planet._
Any ‘kinks’, excluding some very taboo ones (which I won’t even mention because I regret learning them myself), are generally going to be portrayed as ‘better’ than other kinks.
After all, a culture or sub-culture you’re part of is going to seem more appropriate than one you aren’t part of.
BDSM is better than sexual roleplay, which is better than exhibitionism, and so on; The thing you’re into, which you’ve spent a lot of time learning about and self-justifying, makes sense and hurts no one. The thing you’re not into is silly, mocks the very concept of romance, involves too much risk, and so on.
But, yes, the BDSM culture seems especially prone to ‘preaching’ like the annoying kind of vegan.
Shrug I say chalk it up to a lot of people taking the ‘lifestyle’ more seriously than you would with a lot of other kinks - it’s kind of hard to make a ‘lifestyle’ out of dressing up like Han Solo in bed, for example.

Thank you for spelling out the same problem I got. It’s so hammered in, I’m thinking the author is trying to guilt trip his readers. Plus, there’s this sense of thinking they’re better than folks with other kinks that’s really annoying.
The overemphasis on safety is mostly about drilling it into the heads of people who read up and decide they want to try it. You need experience before you can judge what isn’t needed for you, but it’s easy to fuck BDSM up if you don’t know what you’re doing (which you don’t the first time), so we try to err on the side of caution.
Edited because: messed up some words
yeah the society runs hidden city-size sites where people can go live out BDSM lifestyles while keeping consensual and safe practices. you wouldnt think that from the other pics with the clocktower tag its amazingly written and i actually like reading about the health and safety stuff in the lore.
No, no, it’s a secret society devoted towards the creation of a society as you describe. Or that’s what I got from the fic’s synopsis.
The author said in the description of his fic that he wrote it because there weren’t enough safe consensual BDSM fics out there (When I disagree, I think there isn’t enough of rougher fantasy ones.) And that idea was constantly drilled in throughout the whole thing.
Haven’t read it, might later. I can’t vouch for how it goes one way or the other, but on general principle it’s okay to not be subtle at all about a message that preaches non-abuse. It’s just one of those things: don’t be racist, it’s okay for people to like things you don’t like, make sure you don’t hurt your sex partners more than they want to be hurt.
You know, I figure that would be such a common misconception that ponies would just eventually take it as the safeword for “I can’t remember which safeword I want right now, so just stop and ask please!”.
