What is 'Safe, Sane, and Consensual?'

SSC, as evidenced by the link, has a history, it's not just something people thought up in an effort to drive one another crazy. It's not the fault of the GMSMA that the leather world got so big, so mainstream, and so multilayered that a perfectly good idea, in my book (let's not kill one another, let's not psychologically damage one another and let's not do things to people who don't want any part in it) got so incredibly overblown.

I don't like the anti-SSC backlash and the RACK craze very much. I personally always felt there was a tinge of, well, homophobia about the way pan/het BDSM folk felt the compulsion to reinvent this wheel and screech about how flawed it is every six seconds.

It's not perfect. Well, duh, it's an acronym and a slogan. It's meant to be the entry point to a dialogue not the ending point. If people are too silly to figure that out, that's their problem.

Exactly.....
