Now I know how parents feel; "AM I SPEAKING @#$!!*% KLINGON?!?!?!"
The Entire Point was
with kids, who have no consideration, and too often, no safe boundaries
it's often cruel & unusual, and the VICTIM is often turned off for life.
Assault has that effect.
HOW MANY PEOPLE HERE HAVE SAID THEIR SPOUSE OR GIRLFRIEND
WAS TORTURED AS A KID AND NOW CAN'T STAND TICKLING *AT ALL*
Anything like that on tape should be used *NOT* as entertainment
but
AS EVIDENCE FOR ADMISSION TO A JUVENILE FACILITY WHERE THE BUGGERS MIGHT LEARN ASSAULT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE
BEFORE THEY'RE 16-18,
DO FAR MORE DAMAGE TO ANOTHER HUMAN BEING
AND WIND UP IN JAIL FOR DECADES.
If the video producers/ads you refer to here are using unwilling subjects who are actually tortured, not having been made aware of the situation,
or whose safewords were ignored (or not made available),
then yes, that would be criminal and they should be locked up for it, by all means, with no parole.
But that's not the case (up there at least), it's a willing, informed adult model.
WHEN THEY ADVERTISE UNAWARE, UNWILLING TORTURE VICTIMS
OF ANY AGE, WHO WERE TRAPPED & TICKLED BEYOND THEIR LIMITS,
THEN THAT'S A HUGE PROBLEM, yes, and fetishists here have been upset.
--That's when there's been protest, as with a certain "South East Asia" company, and a couple of others,
who should never have been allowed to advertise (or perform) that kind of assault.
As it is I've been quite turned off myself by too many insensitive attitudes on this website, and I'm an innate fetishist
-- or pervert,
who has found this a compelling interest since early childhood.
IF *I'M TURNED OFF BY THIS UNCARING ATTITUDE you can imagine what happens to someone who doesn't share the fetish, is pinned or tied, tortured to tears, and then told it's no big deal, that that unbearable agony was "just tickling."
Then s/he meets one of us, and doesn't EVER want to play because that @$$hole traumatized her, and there goes that relationship. I dated a couple of creeps as an adult, who didn't know I was into it, pushed it way too far, and perhaps wondered why there was no way in hell that was going any further.
And if that was caught on tape, and broadcast on YouTube, "some of you" here would've found that misery quite entertaining.
Whereas I still regret not rearranging the @$$holes' anatomy.
It's no fun when you realize you're just an Object to a selfish jackass who's getting off on your misery.
And then SOOOO many guys here complain there are no women willing to meet them.....
Or so few women are "really into this," I've been told that more X than Stephen Hawking can count.
