The other day I had to decline an extreme bondage site because it had one pic of a Domme pointing a gun at a bound submissive. I didn't decline it because of this thread or because of the possible legal ramifications. I really declined it because I don't want to link to that kind of content. Most of the set was actually some decent shots.

I'm willing to link to some things that others don't, but every bit of it falls into the category of "consenting adults not injuring, terrifying or taking advantage of each other." Sure, it's a subjective standard, but that's why there's a reviewer. Much of the BDSM out there pushes this standard, but I'm a member of the "real world" BDSM community so I'm in a better position to understand the surfers and the frame of mind that comes with the lifestyle than the average person. Still, the law has tried to burn me because of porn. It was many years ago and had little to do with the internet, but as PK said if you've never been under that microscope you can't possibly understand how your views will change afterwards, regardless of the outcome.

In the end we have to CHOOSE to take responsibility, because as PK pointed out if you have any measure of success there is someone out there who will try to foist responsibility on you. I feel it's better to be a pro-active member of a community, to be able to lean on others when we need a hand or a lesson on something, and to have others know that you've got some character in the event that bad shit goes down.
