[GENERAL CONSENSUS] [SECOND] [LINE ITEM EDIT] Follower of Set Genre 2023

I, Chase Jelliffe, as Assistant Head Coordinator 1, amend this proposal to General Consensus. 

I, Jen Salty, propose the following changes to the 2023 Follower of Set Genre packet.

TRIGGER WARNING - SEXUAL TOPICS!

Removal of the following paragraph on page 30:

As far as sex goes...

When it comes to sexual preference for an ecstatic, it is yes. Sexually there is nothing they aren’t willing to try and there is not a place they aren’t willing to go. This may include homo eroticism, pedophilia, incest, necrophilia, bestiality, and the mentally handicapped, or darker fantasies like rape, torture, and even snuff. Ecstatics encourage others to experience these types of acts to show that taboo comes from outside, not from within. Sex is a good way to give someone a glimpse into their darker, hidden nature. It is a gateway to seeing how much farther a prospect will push themselves.

Reasoning:

This paragraph encourages players of the Cult of Ecstasy to explore themes that are currently outside of the bylaws set aside in our Administrative bylaws, section D.ii.3. concerning consent and disallowed sexual encounters for plots and scenes. It is illogical to expect all people to be familiar with all bylaws and all packets, and to be able to identify when they are not aligned; it is less confusing for players if the packet guidance does not encourage play within themes that are counter to the current bylaws.

Not all of these themes play into the disallowed portions of the bylaws. At the request of Alex, who is currently still out of office until May 4th but was willing to talk to me to ease to the discomfort of one of the Setite players in the games I represent about these themes (for which I am incredibly grateful and was not expecting <3), I have designed this prop to remove the entire problematic paragraph. He also knows the timeline I planned to write this on.

This prop does have the support of the Setite office.
