I think it's partly down to how we have a chance to lurk before speaking in fandom. Like, someone will see your posts, decide you might be cool to talk to, skim your profile, see if you fail any particular litmus tests etc, and only then make direct contact. This can lead to the development of some pretty amazing social bubbles. All it takes is for a few people to have the pseudononymous balls to mention their favourite hentai in their profiles, or post a kinky fic/artwork, and suddenly you've got a network of people who already know that the people they're talking to are at least open to certain crazy wild kinks. And because much of this communication goes on in public, even people who aren't originally 'deviant' (as you put it) get to have that as part of their social atmosphere. And then someone starts a kink meme and anyone of those outsider-people can go anon and get wrists-deep in some nasty, wrong shit if they feel like it. A lot of people will write/draw something they're not even that into just because they can think of a cool way to fill a prompt. So you can easily go from being not exposed to kink at all to having it be part of your social-creative life, all because of the magic of anonymity and public sexual expression. /coolstory
