Classmate: So, you state "we as adults should be allowed to create and read any ‘obscene’ material we deem fit", where do we draw the line? And, in whose opinion is it "fit"? What if my idea of "fit" is considered child pornography? Or what if it is domination? I know that there are currently laws that forbid those types of actions - which are illegal. But if these things aren't considered obscene because we can choose whether or not to view them, then it is a slippery slope to legalizing them.

Lucy: First off, as someone who has a lot of friends who are into D/s in the bedroom, please tread lightly when using "child pornography" and "dominance" in the same example. This is a basic idea of consent. Children cannot consent in any meaningful way to sexual conduct. Adults, however, can, and should feel free to have as much fun as they want with another consenting adult. These two ideas aren't even remotely related and a lot of people would be insulted to see them grouped together.

oh, it gets better )

God, today was a bit rough to say the least.

And I'm rather disheartened about MoC now after... :waves hand vaguely: Maybe I'll get that damn bakery AU done and post that next instead.
