This is what popped into my head; how many of these "non-community" people cross certain lines, that we generally wouldn't? In other words, does being a part of a community, even if it's only through books or the internet, give people a guideline on how far to take certain things? Oh, absolutely. I know plenty of men who could give a fuck about "consent" - they get what they want, and that's that. They don't objectify women because the women want to be objectified; they objectify women because women are disposable toys, and what are you going to do about it if you don't want them to? They have more money than you, better lawyers, and better last names, and the police and judges like the cut of their jib. And these people typically spend vastly more money on fetish gear and furniture than you or I do. Likewise, I know plenty of women who love to humiliate men, and if the man doesn't want to be humiliated, so much the better. They use their looks and their upper-class bearing to find boys that want them, and then degrade and humiliate them for kicks. And yes, what they're doing is absolutely "kink" - it's just "kink" divorced of any of our community's standards, ethics, rules, or mores - because they don't need them.
