Hi I've Been Seeing A Lot Of Posts With This Weird Tone So Here's Your Friendly Reminder That The RACK

Hi I've been seeing a lot of posts with this weird tone so here's your friendly reminder that the RACK (risk aware consensual kink) kink framework doesn't actually mean "practice the safest possible kink at all times". It means there is ALWAYS risk and you should be aware of what those risks are before engaging.

A basic example is that I keep seeing that post with the safe impact zone chart going around being talked about as though it's the only way to do RACK impact. This is not true. The information is good and important to have, yes, but "safe impact zones" still have their risks, and there will always be people who want to be hit in "unsafe" ways. The correct RACK approach would be to properly research the risks of the type of impact you're planning to do, and make sure that you're comfortable with that level of risk before engaging in the activity, AND that you know what aftercare should be given. THIS is what risk-aware means. It does not mean "under no circumstances should anyone ever hit you in the wrong spot". That's kind of the antitheses of RACK.

RACK is about knowing the risks and consenting. It's informed consent. It's about doing what you want to do as safely as is reasonable. There is risk inherent in every type of kink. RACK says go ahead, have your fun, but just know what you're getting into first.

Too much foam I think I fucked up my throat-

(Image ID: Bad drawing of me sitting with foam in my head and around me and I’m going, “ough”. End ID)

Btw I am making cosplay 🥰

(Image ID: Two towers of cut foam. End ID)

I didn’t wanna say anything yet cause I didn’t know if I was gonna go through with it but I now have an electric knife and have just made a tower of foam so I think I will be doing it! It’ll be a slightly creepier and goofy take on the ink demon and I’ll be using fursuit tutorials! It’s not directly related to this au, but I thought i’d put it here.

Treat anything on Discord as media that will be lost

Do not use Discord to host your files. Do not rely on Discord to preserve your text. DO NOT RELY ON DISCORD FOR ANY KIND OF PRESERVATION OR HOSTING!!

It CAN be lost, it WILL be lost! You must consider Discord as a part of the Core Internet, controlled by one company that hosts the servers.

I thought it was impressive at first that it replaced IRC, but now I am horrified. If the company behind Discord went under today, how many friends would you lose?

How many relationships? How much writing?

You may think this won't happen, but I remember when AIM went down and along with it, entire novels worth of interaction with my oldest friend.

IT CAN HAPPEN TO YOU. IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. NO COMPANY IS INFALLIBLE.

Back up your files! Download anything you've saved to Discord NOW, before the API changes go into effect! And DO NOT RELY ON THEM FOR HOLDING IMPORTANT FILES!

"Alright, Joey. I'm here. Let's see if we can find what you wanted me to see..."

"Henry, come visit the old workshop. There's something I need to show you..."
