The royjamie kink discourse is missing something big no one is mentioning. Which is that, yes, two consenting adults in a BDSM relationship is a different situation than a father beating his child, but that doesn't matter. Roy and Jamie aren't two consenting adults, they are two characters that you project your kink onto, and choose the victim of child physical and sexual abuse as the one who's being subjected to sexual violence. Not once do you consider Roy could be the brat or the sub (even though Roy and Jamie have almost the exact same personality), nor do you stop for one second to interrogate why the idea of an abuse victim wanting his partner to hurt him in bed is sexually gratifying.
Before anyone misconstrues my words and tries to make this about something else because they don't have any real arguments: no, I don't think kink is inherently abusive, no I don't think kink and sex are morally wrong or degrading, no I don't think abuse or CSA victims can't have kinks or explore their sexuality, no I'm not a TERF, no, I'm not a puritan or anti sex.
This is strictly about expressing my suspicions related to the matter of everyone, or a vast majority* of Royjamie shippers immediately imposing the role of brat or sub onto Jamie and dom onto Roy, and never vice versa.
*I don't know everything, there might be some Royjamie shippers that are into dom!Jamie or who think Royjamie don't have a BDSM relationship in the first place. However, I have not encountered any.
