Seriously considering not using FLO anymore, as much as I like the set up. I'm tired of the vitriol and animosity every time I peak at the forums. I am tired of staff publicly saying kinks they personally don't like need to be banned because "eww gross". I don't like a lot of things, but I police my own internet experience. I am part of the BDSM community. We are some of, if not THE biggest advocators for proper consent. People in scenes, making sure if everyone may see that they consent, safewords, after care and more.
For staff to support/believe they have some moral high ground because they find something icky is very unsettling to me. It's why sites have a tagging and ignore system. And yes, there are plenty of other sites to post what ever new thing gets banned this week. (Not to sound extremist, but I am honestly waiting for the NSFW ban all together) I just wanted to use this one because it is better. But I am tired of the "Well you support X thing I don't like so you MUST be a zoo/pedo/rapist/insert insult here" crap that comes out of ever other mouth. They make rules and even when you follow them and tag how you should, you STILL get shit and snide remarks.
Everything, EVERYTHING can be harmful. Everything and anything can be triggering. That is why we tag. I am a rape survivor. I use power dynamic and non-con scenes as a way of dealing with my trauma. It is valid, I consent to the content I am consuming or any scene I am in. How dare you accuse me and people like me that my legitimate form of coping is wrong just because you don't like it? I am not the only person like this. People use Age Play and other kinks for the same reasons. It is hurtful and upsetting to see a site staff so easily swayed by "eww" and "well it could possibly be used for X" There is a reason why stuff is hidden behind age walls and tags.
Ugg, sorry if this got muddled or confusing or preachy. I'm beyond stressed from life and this was just the last straw for me. This was a good site, but it is obvious staff doesn't want people like me here. I kept quite about the feral discourse as it was obvious any opinion other then "eww gross" was met with mud slinging, but I draw the line at the newer crap. Guess I will just got back to the other sites where the staff let nazis and actual zoos and pedos run free. -_-;
