I know that I am not the first member on LS to touch on this subject. Why the acceptance of stories on LS? I can see why LS has chosen to exclude stories which contain , , snuff and mind control as it may upset some members, but how did stories of slip through the crack? Furthermore; and this is targeted to the authors who write stories like this, what is the turn-on factor for you when it comes to ? Hey, you write it, so don’t be offended by this question.
I'm also curious about this subject. Why is allowed, but not ? I could hypothesize that it's because , while , is still between two consenting adults, which is a major deal. However, there's also some BDSM stories I can think of which border on , giving us a fuzzy gradient. If it's as simple as one person being currently unwilling, that's a pretty definite line to draw. If it's the number 1 guiding principle, then that would explain why is allowed.
As an aside, for what reason are fantasies not permitted, granting they could easily be required to include a warning of some kind? I mean, all of these stories are fantasies, so why put any limits on them? Is it simply to appeal to the largest number of people as a whole?
Thank you, but I'm still curious why there are so many limits in the first place. I certainly don't deny that the owners of the website may make whatever rules they wish, I'm curious why they did it, though. Except for true stories, all stories are an exploration of fantasy, of the things you wouldn't do in real life, hence writing about them. What's the purpose of these rules?
As a writer... It is , fantasy... so to each their own...
I'm feeling brave.
I don't think asking about the "why" is discussing real counts of . Nor do I think the inquisitors
are seeking such material. A question is a question. Is it wrong to ask questions, regardless of how
obvious it might seem to others?
And speaking of questions...
Who can tell whether or not stories are fictitious? Just like anyone here can claim things about themselves;
just like anyone can post pictures and claim that's really them; just like someone can claim things about
their experiences, embellishing or misleading--couldn't the same can be done with the origins of stories?
Please note that I'm not trying to attack anyone or anything. I'm just curious.
I will be blunt, Callidus. You approach this from the point of view of fantasy. Do you have any idea what it is like to be the victim of a , or sexual abuse as a child, or violence? Or has that happened to anyone close to you? I suspect not. If it had these questions would not have been asked and you would have accepted the answers that have been graciously provided to you.
The reality of , abuse, and violence is not pretty or artistic or the stuff of fantasy. It is ugly and painful and criminal, and far more prevalent than any of us would like to think. Frankly, whether you accept this or not, whether it makes sense to you or not, does not matter. You have a choice to stay and be member within these parameters or leave and find a or snuff or site that appeals to you more.
What I am trying to communicate is that you are wilfully blind to the damage that , abuse, and violence do in reality, by prettying it up under the guise of fantasy. It is disingenuous of you to pretend it is anything else.
I have been very clear. We will not agree about this.
The OP should not have brought this subject up in the forums, it breaks our terms and conditions for one thing. He / she should have sent me a private message if they were genuinely interested.
I think this thread has run its course.
Please can you take any further discussions offline in a pm.
Thank you.
