Removing underage stories

[Alex Bragi]

Hello Spitman,

By the way, I don't mind your name.

I found your posting very interesting and thought provoking.

I'd like to comment on a couple of things here.

>I agree that this site needs to adopt a stricter policy. This library is an important resource for those who enjoy, and want to share stories and ideas, whether fantasy or not, that involve bdsm. At present it appears that there is a lot of material in the library that depicts the violent and sexual abuse of children, contrary to the library’s stated policy.
Yes, that's not really what bdsm is about is it? Safe, sane, and consensual, that's what bdsm is based on.

>A case in point is the story, 'The Wheel', which has just been added to the library. The story is a particularly graphic depiction of the kind of execution that did actually take place not so very long ago, in historical terms. It is also the story of a judge, one who might be regarded as a pillar of society, who is an abuser of girl children, and uses the law to destroy them once they become a little too old for his taste....
>What we have here is actually a legitimate reason for including a description of an underage character, rather than something written to appeal to paedophiles, and the story also manages not to mention a specific age for any of the characters.

Mmm...pretty heavy stuff I agree. Oddly, I have a lot less of a problem with this kind of story, that's a total fantasy, as opposed to those that almost read like a step by step instruction manual for infantophiles and paedophiles.

Oh dear, I've gone and used the dreaded 'I" and "P' words again!

>Let’s look at a story, ‘The Perils of Pauline at Christmas’. This story involves a man dressed as Santa raping and strangling a ten year old girl, and enjoying it. It is non-consensual, brutal and unashamedly paedophilic, and its only merit is that it is a good example of the kind of thing that I would rather not find on this website.

This is an example of the kind of story that I dont' like. Every time someone bring it up, and especially at this time of year, I get frightening thoughts of some dirty old bastard reading it, and then trotting off to find a job as a store Santa.

>Let’s also consider a story called Our Fun With Little Crystal. This is a non-consensual story in which a pubescent girl is kidnapped from a playground, tortured, orally raped, asphyxiated and revived, presumably in preparation for a vaginal rape in a subsequent chapter. Terms like ‘her small, growing tits’ and ‘still playing with stuffed animals’ make it clear that the victim is underage. All the way through the words ‘little’ and ‘young’ are interspersed with language saying how much fun this is, and it is clear that the child will eventually be killed. The age of the girl is not mentioned, but we are left in no doubt that this is a particularly nasty piece of paedophilia.

This is one that I have problem with also. I know many people will argue and say: "What about reading a story about murder?" But, how many people will associate themselves with the perpetrator of that kind of story? How many will walk out onto the street and say: "Fuck, what I wouldn’t do to have a chance to kill him/her..." ?

Censorship is a tough topic, with a huge grey area.

This is an interesting debate and certainly there have been some very good arguments for and against it here.
