Kink Shaming - Tumblr Posts

Reminder that it's perfectly okay to have kinks, wants, and thoughts. It's okay to like something or think about doing something that might not be considered morally acceptable by the majority of people.

Wanting ≠ Doing

Thinking ≠ Doing

You could think "I want to kill somebody", but you know for a fact you're not GOING to. You could think "God I really want to kill myself" but you know for a fact you're not GOING to. You could think "I want to hurt myself and/or hurt others" but you know for a fact you're not GOING to.

Don't feel ashamed about your kinks or thoughts or anything. You're not going to hurt somebody by just thinking or fantasising, and you shouldn't be hated for it either.

This also goes for roleplaying in bed, roleplaying the topic online, consuming media that contains fictional representation of the topics, or imagining it while you're doing something. If your kink is something illegal (the popular kinks are) or something that people would shun you for, then doing any of the above is fine since you're not encouraging it in real life, and you're not DOING it.

Seeing as telling these porn rotten brainers that kinks that involve violence, SA and SV, especially towards women, is disgusting doesn’t work. I’m just going to tell them kink shaming is my kink.

tw: rape, misgendering, ftm/trans fetishization

ok so basically I saw this degenerate ass post from Tumblr hell talking about how you should r@pe all trans men to get them pregnant so they'll detransition to save the baby and calling them women/wives and I'm just like... what the actual fuck is wrong with people?

sure, its a fetish, whatever- "you shouldn't k1nk shame" blah blah blah. well guess what? I am going to fucking shame that k1nk you degenerates.

"but I cant control it!" so keep it to your fucking self. there is no excuse to be spreading pro-r@pe bullshit.

Kink shaming celebrities. And I thought the internet had class!

I’m just kidding, I have never thought that at all.

the four horsemen of the apocalypse

It’s really wrong, it’s a club for minors. Why would someone do that?

I've just learned that when I think FFA it turns out that it has a wildly different meaning on tumbler. I thought it was Future Farmers of America, it is not :(((

Can we talk about how are fetish has the same name on tumblr as a club for kids. This is disgusting.

We cringe, because we are fucking minors exposed to pornography since we were little kids. We see this shit when we look up our cartoon, our friend’s names, our clubs. We can’t have shit without seeing your disturbing kinks.

Cringe started as a verb describing a physical reaction, i.e.: "I cringe when I see [x]."

Modern slang has turned cringe into an adjective describing anything to which a person might have such a reaction.

.

This shift in language is illustrative of a shift in culture.

.

For a while there, in the early 2000s, there was this big sex positivity movement and we talked openly about kink and queer sexuality and creating a culture of consent that broke away from traditional conservative ideas of moral respectability.

And now we are in the midst of this giant purity culture backlash, this giant push for rigid conformity all over the internet. Anything that deviates from the norm even remotely is ridiculed.

And this cultural shift is perfectly encapsulated in this singular linguistic shift, this verb becoming a noun.

The Revenge of the Pearl Clutchers

That's what "cringing" is. It's pearl clutching.

When the pearl clutchers turned cringe into an adjective, they turned a reaction into an accusation. The pearl clutchers don't want to take responsibility for their own kneejerk emotions. They want to blame YOU.

They are saying, "My disgust isn't the fault of my own backwards prejudices. It is YOU who are inherently disgusting. My inability to cope with even the slightest deviation from norm is not the problem here. YOUR refusal to rigidly conform is the problem. I am not the one who is cringing. YOU are the one who is cringe."

Fuck 'em.

.

Take the word back.

Cringe is not something people are.

It's something judgmental assholes do.

We see porn when we look up our cartoons, our friends, our friends and all you can do is laugh about it. Porn twists the mind.

Kink Shaming

I'm like the Grandad who smokes when it comes to Kinks.

Me: *Kink shames*

Younger weeb: "You like that kink too!"

Me: "I'm okay. My morals are sound, but do you know what those kinks will do to you?!"

Also Me:

Just another man abusing a woman under the guise of kink, absolutely nothing new. Of course the comments were full of other TIMs saying they envy the situation.
