OK, so Cruxforums operates in a kind of ethical grey zone.
We fantasise about observing, causing or experiencing severe harm. Some of the extremes of that are blocked by the rules, such as images of actual harm, or discussions of how to commit criminal acts and get away with it. Here we are clear that these situations exist only in our art or our prose, in our imaginations only.
Our art and stories throw human rights and human dignity to the four winds of fantasy, but we would be as appalled as the next person if we came across any such situation in real life. We deplore any person or persons who think it is OK to go ahead and act out their fantasies in real life against any other human being either without their consent or in such a way as to cause them actual bodily harm.
I restate this, which has been declared over and again within the threads of this forum to make it absolutely clear to outside observers peering in to the forum that we are not a bunch of depraved thugs but normal, decent human beings who have found a harmless way to discuss and share our fantasies. The only 'victims' on this site are computer generated images or flights of our imaginations.
But the main purpose of this thread is to provide a place where we can chat about the ethics and morals of what we do without derailing threads or causing costernation to the thread-starter or those that post on a thread with good intentions of contributing to that thread. Therefore, if a thread is sidetracked by such an off-topic debate we mods can shift the posts over here, and leave the thread itself clear for those who are enjoying it.
Feedback about the posts and constructive criticism is not, by the way, 'off topic'.
