Your non-sexual, playful, lighthearted tickling is not better or less kinky than someone who wants to be tortured or play with hard CNC scenes or gets really turned on by tickling. It's not more pure, it's not "sfw", it's DEFINITELY not safe for minors (which includes writing to tickle fic about minors imho), it's not the "correct" way to interact with tickling.
I'm really tired of seeing both lees and lers with more hardcore desires ostracized from tickle spaces because people deem them unsafe or too sexual/deviant for literal kink spaces. It's giving cop, it's giving purity culture, it's giving a lot of bad shit!!!
Honestly a lot of the people with more "hardcore" desires are better at communication, negotiating, and boundaries than people who keep it more "tame" because we HAVE to be in order to engage with what we like.
Anyways. I am once again asking you to not demonize people who like a different kind of kink from you, even if it makes you uncomfortable. Figure out how to recognize the difference in your body between "this makes me uncomfortable because it's not for me" and "this makes me uncomfortable because this person seems to be violating boundaries and consent." Just because YOU wouldn't consent doesn't mean no one else can. Just keep scrolling.
I refuse to exist in a sanitized kink community and you should too!
