Me personally I am very kink friendly and sex positive but I recognize that some kinks perpetuate and normalize violence and unsafe behavior. And some kinks are very much a gate way to more serious issues. So I’m not going to apologize for shaming some kinks. Some people should be ashamed. Some people should have shame before they ask things of me.
I didn’t do a 180 i just am a complex person. I do not kink shame the community. I kink shame individuals who disrespect me and my boundaries. If you don’t push your kink on me or if you approach me with your kink and I say I’m not interested but you continue to try to get me to engage in it that’s shameful behavior in my opinion. And just like it’s ok for them to have their kink it’s ok for me to not have it and stand up for myself.
And some people do practice kinks in a controlled and “safe” way. Others don’t take necessary precautions. And can end up hurting themselves or even worse without realizing it. My stance if if you’re going to do something do it right get informed and be aware of the risks. And also to respect others and don’t push them into something they aren’t comfortable with.
So the way you are proposing it is shaming the person not the kink? I see it as shaming the person and how they interact with their kink. In your example with sex sex is not inherently kinky. In that instance I would be sex shaming the person. To me kink shaming can be done on a large scale (macro) or a small scale (micro)
Some people shame kinks in general this would be macro some people might be cool with cbt and breath control but shame kinks involving bodily fluids. This would still be macro but it’s less generalized and more localized to certain kinks. Then some people might only shame people with piss kinks I would still call this macro but it’s highly localized. I would say I do micro shaming where I shame individuals and not a community or group of people. And I shame them less for the actual kink and more
I use a similar lenses when looking at a variety of different things like religion for example. I call it kink shaming because most still see any criticism of kinks or people kinks as a general criticism of an entire community and culture vs a criticism of a specific person and how they engage with kinks. And people often don’t look past their first assumptions and impressions
I’m actually a really big advocate in my local community to accept people’s sexual identity’s and kinks. I think everyone should be allowed to enjoy and express themselves sexually. But the issue is people. People are rude people are quick to judge and slow to listen/change. People also don’t always research and study things before they engage in them, which I think is an important aspect of the kink community
