Can someone help me understand why BDSM is accepted in the mainstream media? Whenever I try to explain why it's just weird, I ALWAYS get told "it's two consenting adults so therefore it doesn't matter".

Okay, fine. I just want to ask - if a guy you were seeing came up to you and said he has a school-girl fetish, or an incest fetish, I am pretty sure you would be raising your eyebrows at that. But let's talk about couples that already practice that. Let's say there is a couple in which the guy has a school-girl fetish, and the girl plays that role. She dresses up in a school uniform and speaks/ behaves childlike. Now, with this situation, BOTH adults ARE consenting. But the problem isn't even with the consent.

The MAIN question everyone should be asking, is WHY is the guy getting off to this shit in the first place?? What SANE and HEALTHY guy GETS OFF to girls who look like/ behave like minors. You can't help but wonder that there is just something else going on in that guy's psyche. I'm sorry, but no decent guy would get off to that.

Now lets bring in BDSM and things like Consensual non-consent. You can literally just apply the same shit here. WHY is a man being TURNED ON by tying you up, humiliating you, degrading you, hitting and choking you, etc. And why would a guy be turned on by CNC/ Rape-play??? That is just so disgusting to me. Sorry, but I don't think any real HVM would be okay with BDSM/ CNC or any other gross fetish.

I just can't seem to understand why seeing BDSM as strange is such an unpopular opinion.
