This is my first and hopefully only post in the forum section.
I only recently published my first story on here. I ( and my wife ) found it to be totally fine as far as not offending anyone. How wrong we were. I shouldn't have been surprised though. We are living in an over the top period of bubble wrapping every sharp object. We are quickly slandered as a horrible person if we don't all order the vanilla flavor.
I will be very open and honest. I am as progressive and liberal as anyone. I have truck loads of empathy and concern for the underdog. However, I think it falls on folks like me to stand up and say enough. Stop the bubble wrapping of everything. Life isn't ( and shouldn't be ) safe all the time. Until I had published my stories on Lush I would have thought the topic and subject matter I wrote about was bordering on the boring. A softcore scene with a hint of non consent (that turned into a very willing sex) scene was treated like I had gone out and someone ( and I was told by a commenter it must be my fantasy). Meanwhile, on this site (and others), we are flooded with with every possible family member. Water sports, , monster sex, mind control, Fetish, BDSM. I don't like any of these categories. I'm repulsed by some of them. But, you know how I handle it ? I never go there. I leave those topics to people who enjoy them. Good for them. Problem solved. But instead, we have these keyboard crusaders that feel THEIR opinion is the right one and therefore mine must be wrong. The spoiled self-important arrogance of that is appalling.
I get that we need to try and keep our children safe. But, to my knowledge, this is an adult website. I'd like to see us make a stronger effort to act like adults. If you don't like something on here, ignore it. Turn the channel. Take the bubble wrap off. What you or I write about should have zero influence on what you or I do in the real world.
Ok, that's all I had to say.
Oh wait. Also, get off my lawn !
