I was actually against blahajzone before reading this, it does make me think twice about it as I have heard about stuff like that on lemmynsfw (not that I've ever been there myself mind you). I recognize that people are entitled to their own fetishes as long as it's between consenting adults, but stuff like fauxbait and related fetishes always seem suspect, it's definitely right on the border of something. Like, yea, you're free to get sexually excited by whatever you want, but that looks an awful lot like... something else. However, I recognize that most people into that stuff probably aren't actual pedophiles, just like people into other questionable fetishes (rapekink, freeuse, raceplay, etc) may not ever engage in anything illegal, but fauxbait & others sure does look like... something else.
