Charter
Whippersnappers is an Atlanta-based educational and social BDSM group for people in their 20s and 30s. Our monthly meetings and play parties offer a relaxed atmosphere for men and women interested in all aspects of safe, sane and consensual BDSM play. 1. Whippersnappers is a TNG (The Next Generation) group and is demographically geared for folks who are aged 18-39 and interested in BDSM/kink/fetish/leather, etc. 2. All Internet discussion groups, email lists, and munches are 18+. Whippersnappers-initiated non-play events such as munches are open to both Whippersnappers members and non-members. 3. There will be some Whippersnappers member-initiated BDSM "play events" for all ages. Please feel free to come and play when it is advertised as all ages. Otherwise, please be respectful of our age limitations. 4. Whippersnappers is respectful of all sexual orientations, gender presentations, ages, races, and individual kinks. 5. Whippersnappers was not created to cause any hard feelings in the community. TNG was created to allow a "birthing place" for young BDSMers, where they can grow amongst peers, while establishing strong roots into the greater BDSM community. Most current TNG members are involved with the greater leather community at some level but desire a social/support space for younger people. 6. The BIG rule of Whippersnappers is to Be Respectful, of group guidelines, individual feelings, property (human and non-human), ages, kinks, and persuasions. All play is done under the auspice of Safe, Sane, and Consensual. If you believe that someone is not meeting these guidelines in a play situation, please consult the host or Dungeon Monitor (DM). 7. When attending any meeting, you must bring a legal form of ID with you (i.e. state ID, Drivers License or passport) that shows your age, and you will have to sign a waiver before you enter the meetings at 1763. 8. Since email and internet forums are the primary ways of conducting this group, respect is required. Threats and distinctly inappropriate or slanderous behaviors will not be tolerated. Administrators will remove problematic folks from the list or forum. If removed, one may petition to return.
