I’m fkn sick of people equating the two. Hell, there is a controversy right now because steam removed all the rape and incest games from their store. I don’t care if it’s gooning to pornhub or a damn booktok book. We need to take a step back and realize we’re too far.

Like dog masks with bondage gear and whips.

Indeed.

As long as they're not straight up fucking then I don't really mind them having the masks and whips on them. Maybe I'm not fully getting what you mean by bondage gear but like. Ultimately they're just wearing what makes them feel hot. None of it is inherently indecent.

See I think you’re just wrong. Decency might be a difficult thing to pin down exactly but I can say with certainty that sex gear falls outside its bounds. If it’s a crime to sell to a child for example, you probably shouldn’t be allowed to wear it in front of one. It is inherently indecent to force sex into the face of random people, that’s kinda the whole idea of decency in the first place.

I get where you’re coming from, but consider this: if a child recognizes that someone is dressed in bondage gear, it’s already too late to “protect them from degeneracy” or something. A child should look at that and go “ooh Halloween costume!!” Not “kinky sex!!!” That shouldn’t even phase the average kid and if jt does their parents need to be watching their internet access a lot more

Like don't wave your dildo around but, if you're talking about what I think you are, the other stuff is just clothes. Like the leather harnesses and stuff the masks and stuff. Even something like wearing a cockring on a chain as a necklace.

Agreed. Like maybe I just don’t get it but it’s one of those things where it’s not sexual unless you make it sexual. Like people with collars for the punk look vs. people who are into it.

Exactly. Like if they're legit just wearing stuff and being normal otherwise then it's not an issue. Even if they're being weird, the problem is the behavior, not the outfit

Fuck off sick freak. See I can do ad hominem too! But please explain yourself, how is walking around in bondage gear in public acceptable? Or equivalent to a regular gay couple who host jazz nights at their inn?

No. Just because a child doesn’t understand something doesn’t mean they should be exposed to it. Porn is a great example but the same can be said of for example war/horror movies. Exposure to these things has a demonstrated effect even on kids who don’t understand it. Also a kid who probably knows what sex is, for example a 12 year old, still shouldn’t be exposed to ball gags and riding crops. It’s fkn wild to say otherwise, especially given the scientific evidence on this.

And you’re right, a collar on a punk isn’t what I’m talking about. That’s not meant to be sexual or adult, it just looks cool. There’s a clear line between a something you can buy at hot topic and a full gimp suit complete with ball gag.

I can’t speak for everyone but I think you’re overestimating how easily traumatized kids are. For example I grew up reading fantasy and sci fi books, which feature a lot of violence and yes, sometimes sex. So what did little me do if I was uncomfortable? I skipped ahead and kept on reading. Likewise, there are plenty of sexual ads or sexual scenes in movies that I walked in on, but I’d say I grew up into a normal well adjusted adult. Like if I saw bondage gear in my local Walmart id be

Like “huh, weird.” And then I’d move on, because I need bread and milk and we ran out of bagels again, can you believe it? Like I feel like we have bigger issues Also don’t you worry, straight people can also be kinky too babe

Even if something is meant to be sexual, that doesn't mean it's inherently sexual. When presented in a non sexual context, I think don't think it's too big of a deal. Someone went grocery shopping in their gimp suit? I'd think it's a little odd but I don't think it's a problem as long as their not weird about it. The ball gag might be a little much but if they're just wearing it around their next then idc.

You think I’m Jealous of people who wear ball gags in public? Nah I ain’t into that shit. I am more concerned about the psychopathology which causes someone to see an objection to such things and think “Must be a jealous puritan.” I’m not the diseased one here. Get well soon.
