Is Spanking the new normal?
Well, we are not there yet, but there are some promising signs.
Take the recent events at Tumblr. A blogger called Cliff James used tumblr to post his own spanking photos and was, presumably, making a good living driving traffic to the numerous pay site links that appeared on his pages.
However, one of his blogs was called "Thespankingblogtaker" where he would list all the other photo blogs that he wished Tumblr to cancel, on the grounds of unspecific and unspecified allegations of copyright violations. Tumblr policy used to be that a claim of copyright violation was grounds to kill a tumblr site - and they routinely did so without wasting time on investigating whether a claim was valid or not. It was a spanking site, for crying out loud: who cares what happens to them?
Not only was his most recently published list totally ignored, in what some see as wicked poetic justice, it was the "Thespankingblogtaker" blog that vanished in a puff of administrative censorship. (I am against all forms of censorship that is not in pursuance of State or International Law: so by my lights they should have let his site stand as an epitaph to a mind that seemed to have been riddled with mean-spiritedness)
So, perhaps Tumblr has taken on the growing trend that spanking between consenting adults is normal. One hopes so, and the evidence that this might be the case is pretty solid. No new round of disappearing spanking blogs - and good bye to the blog that only existed to champion that questionable cause.
Elsewhere, we have seen that several TV companies have embraced this new way of thinking, even if the HBO script writers made a right mess of the subject in one episode of The Game of Thrones. In other series, spankings occur or are discussed without embarrassed leers or sneers.
We are not yet out of the woods. Googol search is mildly anti-spanking, and the Googol linked page editor called IGHome is virulently anti-spanking: any search on that page that contains the word spanking or its synonyms invariably returns a "no-results found" message. The puritans who run that good ship have to protect ourselves from ourselves in case we inadvertently go and enjoy ourselves with material that they have not approved.
But we are winning. Even dancers competing on So You Think You Can Dance can give each other friendly "good luck" swats on the rump without risking public outrage. Way to go, contestants, and more power your arms!
