At Dreamy Drove we take consent extremely seriously. From what people show and display on their avatars to the content of trances. These are our consent guidelines. This is not an exhaustive list, it is meant to be a baseline for how we expect the community to interact, express consent, ask for consent, and revoke consent. That is right CONSENT CAN BE REVOKED!
1. Kink gear on avatars
a. Everyone in the visual vicinity must consent to seeing such gear.
b. When approaching a group assume you might see gear you might not like and be respectful about it or remove yourself.
To mitigate abuse of our consent guidelines we will not permit users to go around into established groups of members to ask for assets to be turned off.
c. We advise users to hide avatars if they are displaying assets they do not wish to see if they insist on being around that user.
2. Hypnosis
a. When conducting public play or trance all members involved, including people within a “splash damage” zone must consent, including the dom/tist.
i. Get into the habit, at our meets, of verbally expressing consent before play and trance.
b. If you see assets being used that you are familiar with being linked to screenspace shaders or even hypno eyes assume play and trance is happening and do not interrupt it unless the dom tells you it is okay to do so.
3. No mean no and bratty/ornery attitudes or behavior
a. Generally speaking, “no” and “stop” means NO and STOP.
b. Bratty and ornery behavior is permitted as long as it’s not overdone in ways that can, from an outsider, be misconstrued as abuse or manipulation.
c. The global/group safeword is RED. RED means stop, halt, cease. IMMEDIATELY. Not once you are done. Not in 10 more seconds. Not one more try or time. It means drop everything. Stop. If the global safeword is not respected then elevated consequences will be considered, up to and including bans.
d. If you cannot verbally use the safeword staff will accept our visual cue of a safe word which can be done by putting your forearms out in front of your torso in a X fashion. See the image below as an example:
4. Know the environment
a. You are joining and participating in an environment that allows and arguably encourages public trance and hypnosis play.
b. Simply by joining regular meetup instances you consent to being subjected to “splash damage”, use of triggers, use of clickers, and anything else that be used to train hypnosis subs and within hypnotic trances and play.
c. This consent and warning does not extend to activity focused meetups, group+ instances, etc. Only the regular weekly meetups.
SSC
Safe - be safe when practicing hypnosis or any kink.
Sane - be in a sane, lucid, and sober mind before giving consent, going under a trance, starting a session, or engaging in any kink play.
Consensual - Ask for and give consent to hypnosis, trances, triggers, suggestions, and any other kink play.
RACK
Risk Aware - Know the risks involved of the suggestions, triggers, or kink play you are about to engage in and be prepared to deal with any malreactions to such, revoke consent, and/or have safeties implemented with the suggestions or triggers.
Consensual Kink - Consent to and ask for consent when engaging in kink play. It's never bad practice to ask for and give consent before engaging in playtime. Especially when there are onlookers watching.
CCA
Consent - Yes we are banging this drum hard. Ask for and give consent. Practice it. Live it. Breathe it.
Care - It's very easy to forget these avatars and colorful anthro creatures you are seeing on your screen are real people. It's easy to disconnect the humanity with online interactions. To put it simply: care for your partner. If you need to beg for consent then you are doing it wrong. If you need to coax consent then you need to approach it again at a later time. Have empathy and compassion. That is a real person you are talking to and interacting with.
Aftercare - Like previously stated: It is easy to disconnect the humanity aspect when interactions are screen deep and you can turn it off with a button. We cannot force you to provide aftercare, but be a decent person. You just had a high level of intimacy with someone with hypnosis and/or kink play. At minimum ask if they are okay afterwards. Try asking if they would like anything else from you while they have your attention. Practice asking these thing after your play sessions and aftercare will become a habit, like we should honestly all strive for it to be.
