I just saw someone say "it's more important that kids feel comfortable at pride than [that] the kink community [does]", and…to be blunt I'm just not sure that's true?

it is not fair, or just, or legitimate, to insist that all adult conduct and discourse be held to a standard of "safe for children," even if that standard weren't, in practice, a constantly shifting set of goalposts.

BESIDES which, I very strongly suspect a lot of these arguments aren't _actually_ about whether _kids_ are comfortable, but about whether their parents who think kink is harmful or shameful are uncomfortable with the thought of having to explain why that man is wearing a dog mask

Replying to @TheJulieGillis @ScottMadin
i feel like this whole weird no-kink-pride thing is for people who just want to use (what they perceive as) sassy gay reaction gifs (probably of Black folks, probably in a weird online Blackface way) without actually engaging with queer and sex-positive culture

as you say, it’s easy as hell to just be like “people wear costumes! look, a rainbow!” and be done with it.

kids take their cues about what's a big deal or what's upsetting, _from their parents_! if the parents have a Big Reaction to a thing, kids will focus on it; if they don't, they won't.
