(Oh my brain hurts after watching the latest video from wattsthesafeword and puppy Amp)
As a kitten, I wanted to talk about the DDLG community from my perspective cause the kitten community was the one of the first to help them when they first faced major backlash.
A couple years back, I believe before covid lock downs, there was a rise of DDLG, ABDL, age regression and what that was, the term "little space" was becoming more common, the community finally got main stream in a way and just like when kittens first came out in mass, they faced a horrific amount of backlash from the vanilla community and those who didn't understand anything or know the first thing about kink or the lifestyle we have or those individuals have.
The kitten community, already familiar with helping the gay and sissy community, immediately jumped to action and I saw in mass, tons of loving and caring kittens coming together to aggressively give the "littles" a space to be safe, online especially, tons and tons of kittens were there for people and it was beautiful seeing two communities come together
Not every kitten is a little and not every little is a kitten but some are both and the love from the kitten community being there to uplift others who were scared and facing major hate and criticism was a beautiful thing to see happen.
To touch on a topic that puppy Amp brought up in his video, I agree with him that lifestyle things should be done in lifestyle friendly places or at least, in a safe environment that either doesn't bother others or something
There's the never ending debate on whether or not the kink community should he allowed at pride and so on and so fourth
However, the kink and lgbt community have been a connected family ever since the AIDS crisis and was probably even before that time too.
We deserve to be visible, we have a right to be visible but we also as a community should be smart and mindful of our safety and wellness and the mental health of ourselves and others as well as considerate of the spaces and people we're involved in when also engaging in anything lifestyle related.
There's no harm in being polite and avoiding unnecessary drama.
