I feel like some people don’t distinguish between their age regression and their littlespace/subspace, so that’s probably what the pro-kink flag is referring to! It’s important to agree on limits ahead of time for scenes because consent while in subspace can be tricky much the same that consent and regression can be tricky. Some people have a hard time registering words and questions while deep in a scene. That doesn’t make it nonconsensual, as long as you talk it out before hand.
While the communities DO need to be separate because agere needs to be safe for minors who regress, that doesn’t mean that every dualcon person will experience a harsh distinction between two headspaces of ‘pure innocent regression’ and ‘nasty sexual little’.
Hope this makes sense: I understand feeling troubled by the original post but I think that it’s not inherently a wrong/bad thing to say, personally. Just wanted to give another perspective.
Not understanding certain words or questions, even context clues during a scene due to arousal and else is not the same as regressing to the mental age of a minor while sexually active.
This opinion is not based in viewing age regression as something innocent or age play as something "nasty and sexual" either. Hypersexual regressors exist, regressors with complex sexual trauma exist. What we advocate for is for these feelings to be tackled differently than in k*nk, because someone with the mental capacities of a child cannot give or revoke their consent to sexual acts. Even with pre-discussed boundaries, such practises are inherently unsafe.
We understand where you are coming from, but please note that we are not going to change our mind in that regard any time soon. The moderators of this blocklist are aware of the nuances of age play and age regression, but we draw a clear line at practising k*nk while regressed, or treating age regression and play as synonymous states of being. Thank you.
One of the mods is currently at the hospital. Our apologies if this reply seems a bit harsh or a bit too direct. We just wanted to get this out of the way.
