Don't be so eager to deal out judgment.

If you have such polarised opinions on standardised behaviour, go somewhere else - a catholic church perhaps.
I just said i didn't find fetishes disgusting.

First, i'd like to say that I had the good will to not do something i would certainly regret later. And second, there's a limit. You may have a crazy fetish, that's completely understandable, but i'm sure this isn't what the OP had in mind. Who would like to become something like this? You may have a self-prescripted bad life, and want to simply lose contact with it, but that's no reason to simply do things that turn you in a nightmare of a person. I don't care if a fetish is disgusting. I just can't believe a person would want to become what the OP is.

Who in the world are you to judge that op is a nightmare of a person or turning into it?!
And btw, the internet is filled with sissy fetish sites. And by coincidence WMM also has a lot of feminization and sissy files. So yes, there are people who want this and it's neither better nor worse than all the other "strange" fetishes here on the site.

To try and make some positive use of this thread [sorry sissychrissi, if you want it back, I'll delete this post], what if someone does get off on something that can cause them long-term harm? Freedom vs Responsibility and all that. Say, for example, I got turned on by a hypnosis file that makes the listener want to commit suicide or do something similarly bad to themselves. Would anyone have a right to tell me that I was wrong?

Third, there is a difference between creating a file which causes a person to adopt a damaging lifestyle, and suggesting that they kill themselves.

Well said. What if, again purely for example, I had such a file and I wanted to upload to WMM, correctly described. Ignoring the fact that it would almost certainly be deleted straight away, and any legal issues, would that count as risking harming others? A danger to society? After all, people could decide for themselves whether or not to download it. But after 6 months any member could download it for free without anyone else being involved.

OK to take another, more practical, example. There are quite a few guys out there who have a smoking fetish. Smoking is habit-forming and can adversely affect health and increase the risk of serious disease. What if I were to try and upload a file that encouraged people to smoke, in order to please those who have a smoking fetish. Should that be allowed? Does anyone have an automatic moral right to object? Is consent mitigated by the fact that the listener has a fetish?
I, for one, always say that consent is not an absolute. Society and the law like to say that consent is either given or it is not, it is comforting to believe that things are that simple, but I disagree. We have instinctive urges that are not rational in the socities we live in, not least regarding arousal. We all have a degree of ignorance and we all have a degree of imagination. When we are born we know only our instincts, and what we grow up with becomes "normal", so every human action is in fact a reaction to our developing instincts and our experiences. An irrational or "surreal" act may be the result of an irrational or "surreal" experience or an instict that has outlived its purpose. I am wandering into my thesis, so I'll stop there, but...
The point I'm making is, does a fetish change the nature of consent? Even the degree of consent? And if so, does that change the morality of the situation?
