“I’m not kink shaming…”

“Don’t yuck someone else’s yum…”

“Whatever floats your boat…”

Shut up. I don’t care.

Your kink is gross and I don’t have to be okay with it just because you’re proud about it. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Some kinks are shameful. Hell, many kinks are shameful. And not just the obvious ones like pedophilia or bestiality or snuff.

I had more specifics drawn up but I figured it’s probably safest to keep it kind of vague.

But it is my opinion that “don’t kink shame!” should never have become the default.

That’s probably the crux of the unpopular opinion here so that’ll do.

Signed,

A sex repulsed and very annoyed asexual.

    Have you ever tried “I don’t like this topic” instead of “Shut the fuck up”?

    The first one communicates your preference. It’s a statement about you. It leaves the ball in their court to decide what to do about this new information. Someone would have to be a big jerk to continue after you’ve said it that way. And if they are, it’s a great filter to decide whether to even spend time with them.

    The second one is a command. Almost no one wants to be bossed around, so many take it as a challenge. It creates a power struggle. Your preference is hard to hear at that point.

      I’ve never straight up told somebody to shut the fuck up about it to their face when it’s been brought up. This was more of a rant than posting an opinion I guess.
