By wearing leather harnesses and chaining each other up in broad daylight, kinksters have unethically involved non-consenting bystanders in a BDSM scene for their own likely sexual gratification. Do young people have such a warped view of consent now that wearing a leather harness in public is considered "unethically involving non-consenting bystanders in a BDSM scene"??
Ahh, the culture of "I am a greater victim than thou" hath no boundaries. There is a case to be made about some kinks; someone with a humiliation kink often exercised by being led around on a leash is getting close to the line if not crossing it of non-consensually involving others in their scene. Though I agree with you that just "wearing a leather harness" is a pretty innocuous, and in general people don't require consent for their wardrobes in public.
And on top of that, going to pride and then complaining about other attendees is at best a bit silly and at worst completely missing the point. I think consent here is trivial to understand when you talk about a kink most everyone understands: naked skin.
Being naked isn't per se a sexual act, obviously. I don't need anyone's consent exposing my body e. On the other hand, someone getting off exposing theirselves to strangers is involving unconsenting strangers sexually. Wearing a harness or demonstrating the lifestyle perfomatively does not include strangers in a scene.
Playing in public for e. It's really not that hard. These concern trolls have an agenda. But also how hard is it to just be civilized when you're in public?
