[QUOTE="overgeeked, post: 8260649, member: 86653"] Sort of. But it's a good start. The difference between a preference and a line is that "don't want" vs "unacceptable". For you, sexual assault is a line. For me, domination is a line. Now imagine a dozen or so posts arguing with you on whether your line was acceptable to other posters or not. Imagine what that would be like. Having to defend your line on sexual assault. But then, I'm sure you have had that experience. Having to justify a "no rape" policy to other gamers. I bet that sucked. A lot. So why the pushback on my lines here? I don't get to have a line because you don't agree with it. Too bad. That's not your decision to make for me. What have you said to people arguing that rape is on the table no matter what you say? How would the exact same not apply here with you arguing that my lines are unacceptable to you? What's a line for you may not be a line for someone else. That's the point. People assuming their lines apply to everyone else is the source of a lot of problems. What you find unacceptable others revel in. What you find beneath contempt (a fear of clowns, for example), others find abjectly terrifying. A phobia of clowns is a real thing, by the way. So too with spiders. Loss of control. Etc. Your lines are not my lines. And neither of us should have to justify their lines to the other. Yet here we are. [/QUOTE]
