During these tumultuous times many of us have strong opinions about the state of the world and the political landscape in which we live.  To date we've seen a very small amount of political content on THE CAGE.  However even these have inspired some intense reactions.  We've listened to your concerns and carefully considered what is appropriate for our community going forward.  We've come to the conclusion that THE CAGE isn't the right place for political debate or opinion pieces, etc.  THE CAGE is a BDSM focused community and we want to make sure it's a place for enjoyment, education, and kinky fun as well as a respite from the rest of your on and off line lives.  So for those of you who've asked, here's where we are drawing the line about politics and THE CAGE:

 

-politics related to BDSM, sexual freedom, and LGBTQ rights are always relevant and welcomed.

-small political references regarding your daily life, the odd joke, etc., are not a problem.

-blog posts and forum topics that are exclusively political will be flagged and removed respectively.

 

We've amended our blogging rules to include the following:

 

"Please keep in mind we are a community focused on BDSM, kink, and sexual freedom. We consider political essays, opinion pieces, etc., to be "off topic" unless they relate to the above."

 

Thank you all for your understanding.  Until next time!

Onrey One - It has been almost more than I could stand. I've lost three loved ones and am flying solo, venting upon myself with no one to share with! I desperately need a willing loving audience! I can not afford premium! How do I share vids with others so I won't feel so alone, help!!!

Virginie​(sub female){lcpw} - This makes very little sense. the places where politics overlap with human rights issues and current events- all of which are interwoven with BDSM and LGBTQ+ lifestyles - are far too ubiquitous for you guys to straight up BAN, CENSOR..etc. Why not consider on a case by case basis?

My Dear{Trust} - V, I think you may have misunderstood:. From above: "politics related to BDSM, sexual freedom, and LGBTQ rights are always relevant and welcomed."
That leads me to believe they are.

However, I've had a total of 2 hrs of sleep. I'll read it again after the sun comes up just in case.

Virginie​(sub female){lcpw} - Eye roll ofc you all agree. Why should anyone saddled with a brain be troubled by- GASP- life. Question if I’m raped as a result of a hate crime can I blog about it or is that *political*

shesosweet​(sub female) - V, based on this post it seems to me that would be fine. I'm reading between the lines here but if your contention is that this targets conservative political views I'd say you are taking it too personally and in fact most of the political things I have seen here, or anywhere for that matter, tend to lean left. In any case, this seems to be equally applicable to all in that it's not a place people come to discuss politics publicly, although related to BDSM she says is fine. I think it's a reasonable request and if you are a spirited voter, the kind who likes to bring up politics any time and place, that's very brave but many people choose not to. Again, there is a commonly accepted view and then views that tend to ignite hatred. Some of us don't go seeking out this type of vitriol online, or if we do it's in other forums like youtube etc. Who and how you engage with your politics personally here is different, via emails and messages. I've encountered many people via private messages who discuss politics, but on blogs etc is the concern.
