    That’s why I’m asking though, because the way it was phrased was kinda tacked on like an afterthought to the rest of these. It’s a syntactical structure that gives a lot of “guilty by association” vibes. If I were stating that orgies were occurring with not-okay aspects, I’d just say “orgies some participants felt forced into” or something along those vibes.

    The clarification would help me to understand the situation better and provide a lot of context to all if something bad was occurring specifically there. But if it’s a values judgement, then that kind of also needs addressed because I have a very different understanding of sexual mores. I’d like to know if I should be reconsidering that position or if we need to have a deeper discussion about why that comment is being made lol. I don’t feel it helps to pass those types of judgements along in critiques when we could focus on more concrete wrongdoing or elaboration on practices.

      Yea I’ll admit I haven’t looked into what the situation was, but that’s a very good point, if it’s literally just judging their sexual preferences that’s fucked up
