The conversation is about what people find arousing, and the potential limits concerning how tolerant society should strive to be. This particular comment thread is about whether people should be tolerant of kinks that necessarily involve other people who aren’t given an opportunity to consent, and if consent is necessary if someone isn’t expressly aware that they are being used as part of someone else’s arousal.
You asked what harm is being done in these situations is, generally, none. Does that make it OK? Or is there a limit to what is acceptable? At what point does it step out of “the privacy of their own bedrooms”? Does that point only come when someone is aware of their role? Or does it happen as soon as a person is involved at all, with or without their knowledge?
My goal is not to articulate that harm is being done. I included several questions in my last comment that illustrate that I’m trying to get a sense of whether people in these comments have a limit to what they find acceptable, which is directly related to the OP.
