This ideally should go without saying, however certain instances have made it necessary for me to post this journal.


My beliefs are subject to change as new, peer reviewed evidence is produced/or as time passes and I review my own ideologies. If you come across a comment or post of mine that you find objectionable, morally or otherwise, instead of commenting on a particular post/ upload or deviation that may be years old and already outdated, please send me a note directly and ask me whether I still subscribe to that ideology. Chances are if it isn’t legal or doesn’t involve consenting, legal aged adults, I already don’t subscribe to it, or likewise, I no longer hold those beliefs since the date of those posts. If I did say I subscribed to it at one point in the past, I was obviously mistaken.


TL;DR:

Don't accuse me of anything until you hear my side of the issue, and be prepared with evidence to support your claim(s) if you believe I still think a certain way. People are fallible by nature and I do the best I can to rid myself of misinformed beliefs. Have patience and be prepared to forgive, and I will show you the same courtesy whenever possible. Not allowing others time for personal moral growth, or to defend their positions does everyone involved a disservice.

I am not so foolish as to believe that ignorance,

prejudice and hate lead anywhere other than self destruction.

I am not so short-sighted as to wish anyone ill will.

I may make mistakes, even be hypocritical at times.

This is not intentional on my part.

Have the patience to allow me to better myself as an individual.

I’ll extend the same courtesy to you whenever possible.

If there was a 100% guarantee that everyone and anyone could be as happy, healthy and as loved as they desired, (their pain and suffering ended, fantasies and dreams fulfilled) but as a caveat I had to die, I would not hesitate to sacrifice myself, don’t you dare think otherwise. (Well, you can, but you’d be wrong.) I see no logical reason for me to be disingenuous or for me to wish ill on anyone; no reason why people should be enemies rather than friends or lovers. I wouldn’t want my name to be remembered either, martyrdom is selfish and would defeat the purpose of sacrifice in my opinion. There’d have to be that 100% guarantee. Let me fade into oblivion for the greater good, unremembered, otherwise no dice.

I just want to say this once, although I've said it before.

My dA page is for adults only, (18 or older) and is NSFW.

Do not watch me, comment on my page or contact me unless you are at least 18. If I find out you are doing any of the above things on my page and you are under 18, I will block you.

This is not personal, I just don't want to get in trouble legally, I hope you can understand where I'm coming from and please kindly respect that, thank you.

Fetishes and or paraphilias are not considered disorders unless they cause the person who has them significant distress, impairs their ability to function or could lead them to harm others.

Basically if it isn't harming others or yourself then its not a problem, and thats from the DSM-5, the current (at the point of this post) version of what is basically American Psychiatric Association's bible.

It should be noted however, that DSM (and by 
extension the APA) are not immune to subjectivity, personal bias and/or societal norms or stigmas, and many people with fetishes and/or paraphilias still struggle to find unbiased, openminded and/or sex positive therapists/doctors/social workers.
