Ranting about a server that needs to just... stop.
3 years ago
Let me preface this journal by stating a fact: "SFW kinks" are a myth. They're nothing but a way for minors to lie about looking at NSFW content, and for groomers to get to minors. Inflation exists in a lot of ordinarily SFW media, but this is a trope, not a kink. You can't build a community based on a trope.
That being said, I want to introduce the star of this journal: a server called The Inflation Vacation. When I originally joined, I was there for the inflation content. But as time went on, I began to notice some things that were off. I got a couple of DMs from users in the server who were underage, who I had to block for that reason. As time went on, I noticed a lot of RP pings there came from minors trying to get people to do NSFW stuff in DMs. They even promoted other inflation servers run by minors! When I brought up my concerns with staff, they shrugged it off - I don't remember what they said exactly, but I remember being frustrated with their response. Eventually, I left, but not before coming back later since apparently Disboard won't let you review servers without being in them for five days. I waited the five days, left my review, and then left the server.
There's one major reason I hate when servers do this. It exposes children to those who want to exploit them, such as groomers. I've mentioned this story multiple times, but I'll tell it again for the new watchers: As a minor, I was targeted by a groomer who claimed to be an admin on the /r/yiff Discord server, though his claims seem a bit suspicious to me nowadays. He often approached me for ERP, knowing full well I was underage, and at one point, he even asked for ass pics. I didn't recognize he was a groomer at the time, and this is how a lot of them operate: they try lulling minors into a false sense of security around them, and then try to go for it once they've built up trust. Servers like this provide a perfect environment for groomers - they provide a steady stream of minors who are looking for kink stuff and are willing to accept strangers' help with it.
Servers like The Inflation Vacation are just one example of what's wrong with the inflation community. Kids shouldn't be allowed to run free in NSFW spaces.
Anyway, sorry for the rant. Had to get this off my chest.

When something like this happens, I demand the staff do something right away. If they won't, it's clear to be the community is run by pedophiles and the best I can do is try to get people to leave. I've met people from similar communities, like when I joined the discord of a certain TF/absorption artist and discovered it had a "SFW" channel for minors- which was repeatedly doused in vore and TF comics. These weirdos tried to tell me that a fetish can be SFW because of its older definition referring to religious idols. Wish I was kidding, but they're THAT stupid.
