Try not to ridicule someone just because you think their fetish is weird. Yours might seem equally weird to someone else!

There are times when I have spoken up because I thought someone's fetish was dangerous,to make a reality, or racist, or insulting to someone besides the poster. I'll even admit to ridicule at times, when someone says something absolutely preposterous, (usually about incest.) And I like to invite people to think about what they like.

But we have to remember: this is the FETISH forum, and was NOT intended as a haven of respectability and normalcy. Do NOT drive away the weirdos, they don't have anywhere else to go.

Thank you. ;)
 
Hello Stella,

And I like to invite people to think about what they like.

But we have to remember: this is the FETISH forum, and was NOT intended as a haven of respectability and normalcy. Do NOT drive away the weirdos, they don't have anywhere else to go.

So with what you have written above why are you calling us weirdos ?
I might think that some of the other sections might not be what I like but I wouldn't call those people weirdos.

*pats on the head*

Its called a sense of irony, don't get upset because you don't understand.
 
It's a shame that Lit didn't take that stand on their site in 2000.

yes, and it's a shame that laurel sees fit to judge certain fetishes despite the promises she made regarding this forum.

but that's always the risk you get when you step into someone else's sandbox. The internet is still a do-it-yourself proposition, if you don;t like this site and you can't find one you like better you can build your own.

Laurel listens to me once in a blue moon, and I am in no way a moderator on this forum or any other, but I was instrumental in bringing this forum about and I do feel protective of it. :eek:
 
ya kno Stella,

If we spent time together I bet we could make each other laugh till milk comes out our noses...

I would even draw a moustache on my upper lip to match yours
 
I see more "hilarious tongue-in-cheek razzing" than actual posting that has anything to do with the OP here, and it makes me pretty sad.

Imagine being someone who's unsure of their fetish and sexuality and to come to a place like this which exists solely to explore and enjoy those things and to be rediculed.

It's basically like... Walking into a sex shop to save your marriage and the clerks being Phelp's Church idiots who scream at you and berate you until you leave emptyhanded.

Or ignorant assholes who holler; "LOOK AT WHAT THIS DICKWEED IS BUYING!" until you leave empty handed.

Exactly!

...The only time i've bought a sex toy the clerks got really quiet.. Though in retrospect they probably weren't judging, but just didn't expect me to be buying such a big purple dildo.. :devil:

I'll try to post here more to counteract the less-than-helpful posts, but i'm no expert on 99% of these kinks...

Don't you think a statement like this would hold more weight coming from a normal posters instead of a weirdo?

Just a thought.

Good post........

Blessed are the ''cracked'' ..........for it is us who lets in the light. :D
 
Great post. I'm a newbie here, but this is something I have noticed at other forums where fetishes and fantasies ate discussed. There seems to always be a few vocal people who get off on ridiculing and demeaning other people for the things that arouse them. I don't mind people who know each other well razzing and teasing each other, I pick up on that pretty quick when reading posts and can usually tell when that is the case, but the personal attacks because of what someone likes seems totally against the spirit or a site like this. Unfortunately, trolls and assholes are everywhere.

I read some threads where fetishes or activities that turn me off or even disgust me are discussed. I find the variety of tastes out there interesting and do not think less of people for being into something that I can't handle. Sometimes I even think of a witty comment to make, but I don't post them because I don't know the person and they don't know me and I don't want them to be offended if what I intended as good natured teasing is misinterpreted as a personal attack. (lack of body language and tone of voice when online making that a problem if you don't know each other well).

Words of wisdom, thank you! :)
