Does BDSM Need Its Own Rights Movement?

[Esquilax]

Well, it matters little because there is already one such "movement" out there that proudly defends degeneracy, so why should it matter if a second one emerges?

I said what I had to say about these "X pride" movements. They are truly the pinnacle of self-righteousness because they are based on the individual, and the concept of individual morality, not collective morality. I on the other hand am not self-righteous, I do not speak for myself, I speak for the people that are part of normal society and choose to keep silent about what they do behind their own four walls.
However, since these people want us to see their shocking displays of whatever kink scene they belong to and accept them as "normal" I kinda get the feeling that they are the self-righteous ones, and without any sort of basis too.

So, if I'm abnormal in a way that should be silenced due to moral concerns, tell me: what demonstrably real, factual harm am I and those like me causing with our practices? Moreover, what harm is there in expecting that the public perception of such things to reflect the factual case of them and not, say, a collection of stereotypes concocted by folks like you?

To be clear, if you're correct that we're degenerate, then the record will show that too. The only possible reason you could have for objecting to us putting forward our case is if you're afraid that the factual case won't reflect the fantasy moral one that you wish to project onto us.

As for us being abnormal... who gets to determine what's normal? You? Whatever the greatest number of people deems? Because if that were the case, your religious beliefs would be just as abnormal as my sexual ones.

Oh, or would this be another case where you want the god you can't show exists to determine what's normal? Sorry, but only things that exist get a say in that.

Edited to add: And by the way, I am largely happy to keep my bedroom habits in the bedroom, thanks very much. My one request is that you and yours stop lying about what those are behind my back. Is that so unreasonable?
