1. No one here objects to consensual sexual acts, and there is a contingent for whom that is no fun.

Because no one here objects to consensual sexual acts, that contingent for whom it is no fun can't keep trolling about "prudery" and "puritans" without looking stupid. Also, it is clear that those who have been called "prudes" are actually arguing against rape and enslavement, which normal people find unacceptable.

So the new strategy is to try and blur the semantic lines between sex and rape, including using such phrases as "rape play." They jumble up concepts like "rape" and "play" until someone says something against an act of rape or enslavement, at which they pounce and say, "Aha! You are against rape play! You ARE a prude and a puritan!!@22"

All of which is their own problem. It's very sad, actually.
