I'm not sure what I'm supposed to take from this. You're giving me an example of a community that has "moralising" elements. I have no doubt that there are people there against pornography and who are willing to openly say they're uncomfortable with certain kinks. I know there are also people in the community who are not like that.
The function of the community is to draw attention to outright abuse that is happening on Reddit in the open. That is a broad mission and will definitely attract a range of people. Some may be moralists or however you want to paint them. Does that mean we should turn away from them or what do you suggest?
Maybe you could join the effort and be a voice of the reason you believe in and speak out against what you perceive as unhealthy "kink shaming" and ensure the topic stays on hand against things that are definitely not "edge cases" (which from my experience is the majority of what's posted).
No doubt it's imperfect "at the edges" but what isn't? It seems dangerous to draw attention away from _the huge issue in the middle_.
