first of all: it's fine to not be into something. you don't have to actively engage with everyone's kinks. but don't go around kinkshaming

a lot of people are subscribed to the reactionary idea that there are certain taboo kinks that are inherently bad and/or should be shunned

these are the kinds of ideas that have evolved into the current propagandized stereotype of queer people being sexual predators

the (uncomfortable) truth is that, unless there is actual direct harm caused, there isn't really any kink that can (or should) be considered “too” kinky

this view is especially prominent when combined with the classic “but think of the kids!” argument - which, as always, often leads to kids being othered from communities that would otherwise claim to be protecting them

this idea also takes many forms (see: proship discourse, incest kinks, babyfur drama, etc) but it's ultimately all part of the same culture war. it also extends into art, regurgitating the age old “video games cause violence” argument

the cycle of abuse that this causes is quite easy to understand:
1. people with taboo kinks are made outcasts
2. abusers have a community that accepts them
3. victims develop taboo kinks as a trauma response
4. rinse & repeat

the amount of queer people that are actively harming the community by subscribing to these ideas is genuinely baffling. you'd think we'd know better than to use the enemy's weapon against ourselves
