    Sexuality in general isn’t a good topic for public debate, as it is highly personal, highly nuanced, and few people even want to touch the nastier issues related to it, because it gets BAD. When nobody is getting hurt, it’s nobody else’s business, but when people are getting hurt, just knowing about it can damage people’s mental health. At the risk of getting banned, I’ll point out a few of the things that nobody wants to discuss, for good reason.

    NSFL

    Killing/eating people is an actual fetish

    Children who are raped often develop similar sexual desires as their rapists, be it age and/or orientation

    Corruption/deceit is an actual fetish

    I’m tapping out here instead of wracking my brain for more, because I’m already making myself sick remembering things I’ve seen.

    Seriously though, I’m personally quite upset with the vast quantity of pornography available online, because I feel strongly that exposing children to such sexual material (don’t pretend it’s reasonable for anyone to be able to keep them away from it) has a serious negative impact upon their development, speaking as someone who was once a child on the Internet.

      Sexuality in general isn’t a good topic for public debate

      The topic typically revolves around the idea of “public safety”. But public safety in the American context appears to be fixated on state surveillance and the prosecution of religious taboos. The end result is a country where things that are taboo (namely publicly facing queer sexuality) get pursued aggressively while things that aren’t taboo (older richer whiter men taking advantage of their younger and more vulnerable peers in cloistered settings) get swept under the rug. And the end game is the local news running mugshots of the poorest, saddest, ugliest fucks on the planet for soliciting publicly, while the owners of the parent media companies do Epstein tier shit in the executive lounge of a remote island high rise.

      Sexuality and its criminality mirrors the expression of the social power dynamic. You didn’t see Chris Hansen catching anyone in $10,000 business suit on his show.
