Code of Conduct for MiNdfuck, a Minnesota Hypnosis Group and Psychological Kink Group

MiNdfuck is a psychological kink and hypnosis group, intended for people of all experience levels! The plan is to have monthly munches.

MiNdfuck is made out of an effort to combine shared kink interests among people into hypnosis, psychological kink, emotional masochism, non-sexual sadism, manipulation and–well–mindfucking!

MiNdfuck is for longtime kinksters, and new ones! MiNdfuck’s mission statement is to provide “beginner-approachable” munches and safer spaces for people new to various “edgeplay” topics with complex consent. MiNdfuck hopes to tear-down some of that hesitation and shame and open the gate for people to learn and explore safer!

These are the standards and rules that membership will be held to. Not upholding these standards, or a violation of our consent policy which you can read by clicking here, may result in being banned from the group.

The below is a generalized code of conduct that will be active for this group.

  1. This is an 18+ group.
    • Do not discuss underage activities in this group, and do not say (jokingly or otherwise) that you are underage, including on any digital platform this group is on, or you may be banned.
  2. Be respectful.🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
    • Hypnosis attracts a lot of people with personalized identities, and provides unique avenues for self-expression. This is an LGBTQ+ positive space, is trans-led, and is welcoming of all genders, identities, xenogenders, systems, drones, furries, monsters, and cis het people, too.
    • Respect people’s identities and pronouns.
    • Do not tolerate or endorse transphobia, racism, homophobia, sexism, classism, ablism, and other forms of hate. Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Non-binary identities are valid. Black lives matter. Sex work is real work. Trans rights are human rights. If any of those statements just upset you, you should probably find a different community.
    • Many people use kink to reclaim trauma or pain related to discrimination and identity, and this is an edgeplay welcoming group. But at events and within server channels, to remain a safer space for marginalized groups and identities, we do not allow play that mocks, diminishes, or fetishizes based on things such as race or gender identity.
  3. Play and interact with affirmative consent.
    • Do not engage in verbal roleplay (name calling, honorifics) if it is making the person uncomfortable or you may be warned. And for the hypnosis inclined, do not use anyone’s triggers without permission to do so.
  4. Do not involve strangers in your kink.
    • Due to the interests and topics it’s expected that the consenting adults with varying dynamics attending these events may have a bit more verbal play banter–or hypnosis triggers and inductions–than most munches do, and venue choices try to accommodate to allow that! That said, you must take appropriate steps to ensure uninvolved bystanders are not exposed to your kink.
  5. Help create a culture of care.
    • Reports are openly welcomed. If you think someone is doing something dangerous, or have any concerns about someone’s behavior within or outside of our group, tell group leadership; we’d always rather get a report than not, even if you think it’s “small!”
    • Additionally, while moderators cannot prevent it and you should be very careful about what you share online, help do your part to build safer spaces by not downloading or reposting pictures or videos that are shared and not recording voice or video chats, without explicit consent from everyone involved.
    • We are not responsible nor aware of things that happen in Direct Messages or off-platform chat services, but let us know if someone is behaving in a way that you believe is unsafe or violates consent.
  6. There is risk inherent in all kink.
    • We expect each person to mitigate issues that may compromise consent. When things “go wrong” in BDSM, there usually was no malicious intent, but there can be harm. Be prepared to accept consequences, and to offer support to one another if things go wrong.
    • Leadership is not liable for your behavior. However, leadership may step in if they notice behavior that seems unsafe. They may either ask you to disengage with the other members(s) or continue in a different manner.
  7. Consent is not transitive.
    • – That means you cannot consent on behalf of another person, and no one else can consent on behalf of you. Members who attempt to violate the consent of any other person will be removed from our communities. If we can’t tell if something is consensual, we will assume it is not.
