A great many of us are able to differentiate between fantasy and reality. I see scenes of murder and mayhem all the time in the movies - it doesn't stop me from going to the theater to enjoy a movie.'
Playing Grand Theft Auto doesn't entice me to go out on the streets and create carnage. Again, it goes back to knowing the difference between fantasy and reality - and keeping the two distinctly separate.
With your words, you've effectively disparaged everyone and anyone who consentually and willfully participates in what's collectively referred to as alternative lifestyle (which, yes...includes bdsm, fetish and fantasy roleplay).

Actually I do. I do not watch a lot of TV or movies these days so I am not de-sensitized by all the violence towards women we see all around us in the media. I actually do have a problem with all the guns, death, murder, violence and rape "glorified" in entertainment. I believe it's a concerted effort to de-sensitize the population towards acts of violence. How else do you explain death, murder, rape being depicted as "ok" in mainstream TV but you cannot show a nipple or an overt sexual act?
As far as disparaging anyone into 'alternative lifestyles' (excluding gay) I also have a problem with people into such things. Do they have a right to do so? Sure (as long as it's consensual) just like I have a right to call it sick, perverted behavior by individuals with anger-towards-women (and self-esteem) issues. Do what you want but I choose not to associate with you.
So I guess I won't be going to any S&M clubs. Oh well.
