Maybe as an American this is just "internet opinions" to you, but you live in a country where free speech is protected, and it's unlikely that someone is going to be successful in criminalizing every expression of sexuality they find offensive or hurtful to others where you are. Would it make you happy if possessing any pornography that might be offensive or hurtful to a group of people was made illegal where you are? The possibility fucking terrifies me.
...okay, three things:
1) Point to where I even used the phrase "internet opinions" in this thread. I never did. I actually kind of think people's internet opinions are important, because I tend to assume their internet opinions are their real ones.
2) Point to me where I said anything about wanting anything banned or made illegal or even "not done." My complaint in this entire thread has been, begins and ends with, the fact that *ism kinks are not consistently held to the same warning standards in fandom as things like rape, and complaining about that is dismissed as kink shaming, and has been mocked.
3) Pornography is not actually protected speech under the United States constitution. Google "Miller v. California" sometime if you're interested in that. Pornography is not lawfully protected in the U.S if it's ruled to be obscene by community standards. Which I actually think sucks, because it allows for the prosecution of innocent people if enough people think their artwork is obscene.
