This isn’t BDSM. This is abuse. I’m so fucking tired of seeing so many people grouping those two together, as if non-consensually tying someone up and sexually abusing them is somehow considered BDSM play. Non-con play is a thing, but that’s always consensual and discussed beforehand (or it should be at least). Stories depicting toxicity, rape, abuse, torture, and mind break are not BDSM, they’re just toxic stories. You’re free to read that if you like, as there’s nothing wrong with having different preferences, but don’t label it as BDSM. The community is already tainted enough by misinformation and misconceptions, so the last thing it needs is to be grouped with stories about unhealthy relationships.
