[QUOTE="TheSword, post: 8239234, member: 6879661"] Lets set aside the issue of consent. If it’s non-consensual it is by default wrong before you even roll a dice. More interestingly It has already been suggested that irrespective of consent and willing participants, some activities are wrong. You’re suggestion seems to be if it applies to real living people then it crosses a line. I can think of many many comedians that tell jokes about real people. Is watching them wrong. Others have suggested that it doesn’t need to be about specific people for it to be wrong. Some things are just plain unacceptable. My point was that one persons unacceptable is another persons run-of-the-mill. There are tables that wouldn’t enjoy human sacrifice in WotW. Others would take it in their stride. Many people like a villain, and most of us like watching them. I’m familiar with the idea of the hypothetical reasonable man. I have my law degree too. It’s a good system for establishing what would be reasonably foreseeable for a tort. It’s a terrible way to determine matters of taste. Which is what this really boils down to. Personal taste.
