BDSM should be banned, it's always abused. There's nothing consensual when the whole culture, worldwide, is full of propaganda supporting that kind of stuff. There's no "that's personal" excuse, because the personal is political, and there's no "their choice" excuse, because there's no reason to care about their choice if their behavior is harmful. BDSM is fetishized abuse and a really disgusting practice wich should be banned.

" there's no reason to care about their choice if their behavior is harmful."
All snack foods, tattoos, piercings, suntans, and extreme sports are hereby banned. Fun is irrelevant, you can be harmed by these.
@ AgentCDE
You can add alcohol in any form (wine, beer, et cetera...), video games, horror films, trekking and plane travel.
SOunds remarkably like what the old guy in Demolition Man was rooting for: an aseptised, aimless, complacent society.
What's it to you what others do in the privacy of their own bedrooms, as long as the involved are consenting adults?
The "whole culture" is about safe, sane and consensual .
Adults are allowed to harm themselves. Extreme sports, piercings, tattoos, pregnancy, asphyxiation sex, etc.
BDSM is complete control, with illusion of no control.
There's nothing consensual when the whole culture, worldwide, is full of propaganda supporting that kind of stuff.
What does this even mean? The entire BDSM culture says it's consensual so that proves it's not? If it's not consensual then why do they have safe words?
There's no "that's personal" excuse, because the personal is political
WTF does this even mean? You're not making much sense here.
there's no "their choice" excuse, because there's no reason to care about their choice if their behavior is harmful.
How exactly is it harmful? Especially when they insist upon keeping it safe and consensual?

Oh look, it's another self-appointed morality police who thinks that anything their wife won't do in the bedroom needs to be banned.
"I say it's harmful regardless of anything else, so therefore your choices are irrelevant!"
What's with the influx of people with little concept of BDSM beyond having read some bad fanfiction repurposed as a novel? When a subculture is built on consent as one of their cardinal rules, how can you say that their consent doesn't matter?
Also, what the hell do you mean "the personal is political"? Not everything is some big political statement! Some people just want to do what they enjoy without some judgmental fuck getting involved. If you're bringing politics into your fun time, that's on you. It isn't the norm.
@Kanna
The problem is not banning a sexual practice. If it's on the books, someone will eventually turn in their neighbor, their ex, their roommate, etc.
The real problem with laws banning sexual practices comes when you have to tag the evidence....Eugh!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
