Curious as to why in the first place, like yeah but in what context, in this forum, does this mater arise?The real one, not the fictional kink. As in, real adults who desire real minors in a sexual fashion.
I had a conversation with someone, as posted on the rants page, that gave me reason to wonder what I can and cannot say on the topic.Curious as to why in the first place, like yeah but in what context, in this forum, does this mater arise?
I know people like that are on here just based on the number of people, but it's still genuinely upsetting to here people outright admit it,I've seen at least two QQ members identify as pedophiles, so it'd probably break the-
Nah, don't think anyone (including pedophiles) would object to statements to the effect of 'pedophilia is awful'. Anyone wanting to vent about that is probably fine to do so, providing it's not derailing a thread.

Having a kink and actually engaging in criminal behavior related to that kink are two very different things. If you want to attack child predators who have actually broken the law and hurt someone then that's a completely different kettle of fish, but attacking people who have an unfortunate mental condition but have chosen not to indulge in it outside of their fantasies is kinkshaming at best and thought crime at worst.Not going to lie, that seems like a bad line to draw. I get not wanting kink-shaming but when you go ''Paedophilia is a kink and we're not going to shame for it.'' that can get us into actual legal trouble, ignoring any other possible angle. It's an easy way to get shit posted here that gets the site taken down one day.
EDIT: And like, this is coming from a girl who writes noncon, rape and hardcore humiliation shit professionally and for a profit. I'm not some puritan pearl-clutcher.
Think, legally, everything's groovy as long as it's clearly fiction (due to the servers being hosted in America). There's zero tolerance for anything that could be RL (like realistic art, for said legal, and assumedly moral, reasons), but there's plenty of underage and 'loli' smut, and I don't think people should be able to shit up those threads. No one is hurt in the making of those stories, no one is hurt by people reading them, and (allegedly) research shows it might even have some satiation effect.Not going to lie, that seems like a bad line to draw.

Seen a variety of mods in 'Users who are viewing this thread', so they know. Might be conferring, waiting till everyone (or at least a select few) staff have chimed in, before responding. *shrug* Don't think there's a rush anyhow.

That sort of behavior violates other rules that we already have in place. "Don't be a dick to other posters" and "don't post illegal content" for starters. That sort of conduct will be punished accordingly without board members taking it upon themselves to treat more people the way they already treat NTR fetishists.But I am saying that if you create a space that is welcoming to paedophile, it will be used and not everyone who uses it can be trusted not to fuck up the site. All it needs is one person with a grudge, someone with a stock of irl pictures they want to share, someone who got kicked for a totally different reason and wants revenge.
Any of that could fuck us hard and long.
I don't think QQ would be held liable if someone dumped CP, whatever the motive, otherwise most large internet sites wouldn't survive. I'm pretty sure that's happened on SB before, and possibly QQ*, so as long as the fiction distinction is clearly drawn and enforced, I don't think the userbase threaten the site in that way.All it needs is one person with a grudge, someone with a stock of irl pictures they want to share, someone who got kicked for a totally different reason and wants revenge.

If you're talking about some other way this tolerance could impact the site, could you please clarify? Like, the only thing I can think of is 'normalisation might make them forget it's a bad thing' (which equally applies to non-con), but I think as long as you can stridently condemn child abuse (separate from pedophilia) as it pertains to RL, that should be enough?
I'm not suggesting treating people badly or trying to shun then. I am saying that having paedophile actively protected by the rules would be a bad look for us. I am saying that actively inviting people with paedophile to come and post here massively up the chance of something like what we talked about happening, and I am saying that it's opening us to a ton of risk without much reward.
There's a reason why darker, harder kinks like this throw out so many rules, so much framework and have absolutely zero tolerance when someone goes too far.
I'm not sure what you mean by 'actively protected by the rules'.
The only 'protection' they have, is the same 'protection' anyone else on the site has.
Like, they don't get special treatment, fam.
We already have a zero tolerance policy for CP. I'm not sure what more you want beyond "Ban anyone that ever says they're a pedo instantly".
I also don't get what you're saying.
What exactly are you suggesting? You don't think pedophiles should be harassed or shunned or treated badly, but you don't think they should be protected by the rules? What rule specifically should they be exempt from, if not rule 1? Do you want a new rule that bans anyone who admits to being a pedophile? Maybe an expansion of rule 8, the 'anti-shitstorm rule'? That'd be a clear stance, though I don't think I'd classify that as 'removing protection', and I'm not convinced of the necessity.I'm not suggesting treating people badly or trying to shun then.

I am certainly not advocating harassing posters nor have I ever in this thread or any other.
There'd be legal problems if they left it up, but I'm pretty sure there's liability protection as long as you make a good faith effort to moderate. Not that anyone wants to go to court regardless, but that's just part and parcel of owning a site.It's happened on Sb and it caused the mods to go nuclear and there were actual fears that legal stuff might have to happen. I know of at least one example where a poster wanted to force a thread closed so dumped a ton of CP on it.
You seem to be talking about a more active (role-playing?) community than QQ, as none of the non-con smut I've read on this site, or other similar sites, have any kinda barrier to entry beyond sometimes 'please make an account' or 'click to say you are 18+'.Normalisation is actually something we work extremely hard against. There are multiple frameworks and guidelines that you have to go through to even be part of the community. This includes explicit rules, a red-green-yellow light system (even for those who aren't playing) verification that all users are over 18, active staff both able and willing to step in and also who can demonstrate that they *know* what they're talking about and constant community policing both by the staff and the community itself in order to drive in the fact that a game is a game and not real life and to avoid normalisation.
Because if we don't do all of that?
Normalisation can happen. Not always. it depends on the people, on the group, but that's a genuine issue that we've run up against.
Yeah, saying pedophilia is bad for all involved should be fine. So, with this clarification, I guess we agree?I mean what the guy I was originally responding to was saying.
If criticising paedophile is kink-shaming, and kink-shaming is banned by the rules, criticising paedophilia is banned by the rules.
Straight up.
Yeah, saying pedophilia is bad for all involved should be fine. So, with this clarification, I guess we agree?
If anyone genuinely seems like they believe rape is okay, I think we should also be able to argue against that, but, at least in story threads, a good faith assumption that we all know the difference between reality and fiction is there to stop constant derails and buzzkills.
Not gonna lie, it kinda feels like you're arguing with what you think I'm saying and not what I actually am.
If criticising paedophile is kink-shaming, and kink-shaming is banned by the rules, criticising paedophilia is banned by the rules.
I write noncon, rape stuff, even. So I totally get having dark kinks and I share them.
I honestly don't know what you're saying, but assuming it's this:
then, an example for you:
"I think rape is fucked up. It's gross, disgusting, and a horrific violation. Rapists are scum."
Is this critique of rape criticising rape, and thus something I should get dinged and banned for?
No. Because that would be stupid. Because I am obviously referring to the actual real life crime of rape, and not noncon kink content. Context matters.
Someone saying they're a pedo is fine. It's fucking weird and not the place for it, but ultimately fine. I don't think they should get dinged just for being a fucking weirdo, though.
You can say the real life crime of pedophilia is fucked up and wrong all day long, but you can't say that FICTIONAL CONTENT posted is fucked up and wrong. The former is critiquing pedophilia, the latter is kinkshaming. I don't think this is super complex at all.
You can say that [Real World Crime, e.g. 'Rape', 'Pedophilia', etc.] is bad. You can't say [Fictional Content e.g. 'Noncon', 'Loli', etc.] is bad. The former is critiquing a real life [BAD THING], the latter is kinkshaming.
Vanbers: Correct me if I'm wrong BronzePlaceWriter, but the main thing BPW is worried about, is that, when someone who identifies as a pedophile* says they want to fuck a RL kid, it's against the rules to tell them that 'doing so would be abhorrent, so don't'. That's it.
*I'm typing that word way too much today.
Let me replace what you just said with non-consent instead of pedo.I am not pushing for bans or to shame current members or to drive anyone out or anything silly like that.
Let me replace what you just said with non-consent instead of pedo.
Because non-con is rape and sexual assault, we need to get rid of all of that from QQ as defending that or having that on QQ is a bad look.
