You're right. A child cannot consent. Good thing there aren't any of them in ANY of the stories posted herein. They're only words. Made up pieces of someone's imagination.

And while we're on the topic of what's NOT BDSM, let's not forget the following story codes that also have no grounds in ANY BDSM relationship:

incest
snuff
high school (goes with that "young" code)
sci-fi
reluctant
mc
blackmail
torture
nc
extreme
violent

So, then, shall we not also remove all stories with these codes, too, in order to keep with the "SSC BDSM philosophy?" Or do we allow the artists and authors here some leeway to write FANTASY pieces that people with OPEN MINDS can read and enjoy?

In my view, you cannot have one without the other. If your pitch is that the young code doesn't involve any "real" BDSM, then you must also agree, by default, that all of those other codes must go, too. For, certainly, no one in a "real" SSC BDSM relationship would involve themselves with any of the activities depicted by those codes, would they?

Or perhaps it would just be easier to give reality a shot and realize that these are works of FICTION, featuring fictitious characters in fictitious settings performing fictitious acts, and that no REAL people are being involved in any way. Or would that be too easy?
