Beech  ◆  August 5, 2022  ◆  2:45 pm – 4:15 pm

We will take a deep dive into how the commercial sex industry, BDSM, and Safe/Sane/Consensual practices that have been represented historically through different anime genres, with a brief discussion on the differences between trafficking and consensual sex work. Characters and plot lines will be explored for accuracy and social impact. Perhaps and honest conversation, humor and insight will open our minds and shift the paradigms of preconceived stereotypes and subtext. We hope to pointing out common misrepresentations of BDSM.
