Your Kink Is Not My Kink, is, for those of you who haven't seen the acronym before, the guiding principle of kinkmeme coexistence. It's how feeder kink can be in the same meme as underage, noncon, bestiality, and tickling. YKINMK is invoked in cases of kink shaming. So you don't like foot fetish? Refrain from kink shaming and scroll on by -- YKINMK

I think this is what prompted me to have this reading.
Hmmm; I can't really talk about fandom as whole, but yeah, I'm pretty cool with the idea that different people like different things. There are tensions around specific bits, though, and those tensions can get pretty high - usually revolving around dub con & non con, and chan of course, and similar stuff; but otherwise feelings, I don't think difference of sexual kinks is really the biggest provider of the "there's someone doing fandom wrong on the internet!"

You seem to be echoing a lot of what Sistermagpie says downthread, and it's what I've observed too. People do seem to feel YKINMK deeply, but this starts to break down when it comes to the more contentious kinks.

Yeah, scrolling by doesn't actually protect your eyes. Or soul.

And sometimes you just have to say shit because it's so bad, yet the people are obvs. too disturbed to hear it. :/

I think YKINMK(aTOK) is a great ideal, and I've defended (and will continue to do so) vehemently in the past. Policing of women's sexuality and sexual fantasies is a huge problem, and it's one that I fight against when and where I can. But sometimes, the line gets blurred, and it's just... it's hard to keep up. And as strongly as I believe in it, I've started doubting whether it's even applicable to everything, and I never thought I'd feel that way.
