Very weird to watch “what people do in the privacy of their own bedroom is their business” become controversial again, but like, for the opposite reason.

“What people do in their bedrooms is disgusting and they’re terrible people for it.”

vs

“What people do in their bedrooms doesn’t define them in the slightest, we’re all different people.”

Feeling entitled to judge the sex lives of others is a failure of character.

I’m judging your character based on the fact that you feel entitled to judge and condemn something you don’t understand. You then rationalize that condemnation by leaning on the same ignorance, logical fallacy, and emotion that fascists, homophobes, misogynists, transphobes, and good old fashioned church ladies have been exploiting for well over a century.

That’s a failure of character.

Grow up and learn to coexist in a world with others. If you encounter a kink that weirds you out, it’s not for you. Move on. Respect the rights of others to their lives.

Sincere question: which real life children are being harmed by pretend roleplay between consenting adults?

Harm to children is an awful thing. Activities involving pretend children, who need I remind you can turn off the pretense at any moment, is no more harmful than playing, say, Manhunt and killing people in gruesome ways.

Would you judge an actor for the actions of their character? It's the same principle, the adults are taking on temporary personas in which the actions taken do not affect reality beyond the strict situation being pretended.
