I think it was about somebody losing their best friend. Anyway, the video is one of those ARG explained videos, but it turns out the video is from the pov of the main character.

It isn't just roleplay; kink involves simulation actually (for eg CNC) and genuine power exchange in sexual contexts (sometimes it even oversteps those boundaries and seeps into other areas such as findom and 24/7 power exchange).

Roleplay would entail a situation that is completely made up, but that's not the case because the arousal is derived from a setup which closely mimics lack of consent rather than a complete enactment in the case of CNC; in many other scenarios the power dynamic is real and no amount of "consent" can erase that.

In short, I don't think the roleplay rhetoric holds up.

Okay this is gonna be a really unpopular opinion, but does anyone else feel like the hate might be rooted in misogyny and homophobia? I admit I joined in a bit on the fandoms coming together thing, but that was before I really knew anything about the movie. I checked out the trailer and, yeah, it doesn’t look great. Seems like typical millennial awkward potato humor. But the hate is absolutely insane. It’s not even in theaters yet and people are acting like it’s the new Birth of a Nation! There have been plenty of awful movies, but none have received this much hate in recent years. I do enjoy the camaraderie among rival fandoms, but does this movie really deserve it?
