That's actually a really fair point.

But at what point does something become pornographic?

Is there a line where a discussion on the proper way to flog your partner, or cane them, or use a chastity device, become pornographic?

How about /r/BDSMerotica where fictional accounts of scenes that don't explicitly depict consent?

So while you may have a valid point, I think that the admins' positions need to be very clear.

Surely there will be people trying to get these type of subreddits banned for "enticing mistreatment of women/men" when they see posts about flogging, punishement ideas and the likes. So a clear definition that excempts these subreddits are important for their survival.

But the link is to a policy about pornography where those appearing within haven't consented, not porn that might involve non-consentual fantasy situations.

The policy is so badly written. So so badly written.
