Removing underage stories

[lex ludite]

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?

Ever since I started posting to this site these codes have been in existence. Naturally if they are there, it is only fair to assume that stories addressing these topics are acceptable to the site. Any argument with the logic so far? Now Jinn is proposing to remove the "young" code. What did young ever mean when the lower limit as defined by Jinn was thirteen! Guess what, most authors just put down "teen", since it's an issue of how many children can dance on the head of a pervert. Now the chickens are coming home to roost and Jinn still doesn't get it. He has to radically revise the codes and make sure that every author understands that there can be nothing outside of them. In parallel with that he has to pull out every story that violates the new guidelines. As for revising those being pulled out; that is moot at this point. I personally could care less, since I'm on record as refusing to comply with self censorship after the fact. Finally he has to absolutely refuse to post anything that is illustrated. I sit here in disbelief as Jinn crusades against "young" stories and is too busy and short-sighted to take down something like "To Obey" which will be the poster child when the inquisitors come for his site, pocketbook and personal freedom.
